"The Real Iraq War" (CAUTION: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC)
I'm not kidding. Extremely graphic - the most graphic I have seen. I scrolled through them VERY quickly. I don't know much about the person who runs this site and can't vouch for the origin of the photos.

1. Whew.. had to take a few minutes there
Yup, folks, that's war. I'd like to see Katie Couric in front of one of those background shots.

One of the pics was labelled "Your tax dollars at work"

I don't know what else to say... I'm truly speechless..

2. I didn't really want to see that.
I only looked at maybe the first five.

Bookmarked. Recommended.

Because, as much as I didn't want to see that, I think I needed to.

I think we all do.

8. I agree. We ALL need to see them. The children in Iraq have no choice
but to see them. They do not have the luxury of making them go away with the click of a mouse.

3. I guess whoever compiled the pics...
saw the irony in the blurred areas. We wouldn't want to offend by allowing genitalia to show!

4. My Marine nephew who just made it thru his 2nd Iraq tour
reluctantly talked about scraping up his buddies and innocent Iraqis. There was not enough of their bodies to lift up, just to scrape up.

It's about time the American public sees this. Thank you.

5. Tell your nephew thanks for his service.
I pray that he will be able to overcome the memories of the horror he's been subjected to. It make my blood boil to think of bush sitting on his "ranch" oblivious to the pain and misery he has produced.

6. Even though the cold sadistic basterd will never show remorse.. the Oval..
office should be wallpapered with those photos. This is what war is.....not the view from a camera in a smart bomb.

9. While I hate the Iraq War,
this is a bit suspect. Who/where are sources? And why are there graphic pics of "soldiers in previous wars" added to the mix?

You're right to question it.

10. I am right to question it, and, though I would like authentication,
if these are not from the Iraq War II, they may as well be.
