1. WOW. Looking at that now. Incredible. n/t

PB

[Pavulon]

2. Looks like Iran is all in. Same people who blew up the marine base in Lebanon

are working in Iraq. No surprise there. Wonder if we buried any of them in the desert?

[Arctic Dave]

7. Looks like Iran played the military from the word go.

Wonder if they will let them leave the table with their socks.

Never play poker with a guy named "Doc" and never go to war in the ME. Pass it on.

[Pavulon]

10. Sure, lots of guys who lived through that are staff

and are biding their time. Given the opportunity the republican guard or revolutionary guard will be one in the same.

Guess Iran was in the mix after all.

[Radical Activist]

3. Bookmarked.

Thanks for posting.

[Posteritatis]

4. Wow. (nt)

[Luminous Animal]

5. Fuck.

[sabrina 1]

6. I thought 'we don't do body counts'?

Every minor detail is now there for us to analyse and breakdown but one factor stands out: the sheer volume of deaths, most of which are civilians

'The sheer volume of deaths, most of which are civilians'!

And how much has it cost to slaughter all those innocent people?

War is a crime. Especially when it is not necessary. Kill tens of thousands and you are 'patriotic'. Kill one and it's murder.

And we wonder 'why they hate us'.

[DireStrike]

17. I heard it thrown around that it costs $50 million dollars to kill one taliban soldier, at this rate

Civilians are a lot cheaper to kill.

[sabrina 1]

20. So much money to kill people and

so little available to keep people alive. I wonder how they break that down. How do they divvy up the profits for murder?

[aquart]

8. We did it.

We invaded a nation that never attacked us. FOR WHAT? To make Halliburton richer?

[NightWatcher]

9. and remember, no one will be held accountable

there needs to be an American wing in The Hague

[kgnu_fan]

11. Do we ever learn from this information???? And what do we learn?

[WinkyDink]

16. Politicians might learn something: Nixon had to resign (the invasion of Cambodia was part of it).

[racaulk]

12. All that needless killing and bloodshed.

And for what?

:cry:

[RC]

18. Profit, what else?

[joeybee12]

13. How can this be? Freedom is flowering in the Middle East!

Or Democracy is...could it be possible we've been lied to????????????

[w8liftinglady]

14. kid was in Baghdad,fallujah,and tal afar.No wonder he's mind-f*cked

this kills me.What the hell are we still doing there?

[w8liftinglady]

15. and will we hear anything from the MSM? 3-2-1....

[Posteritatis]

21. Wha? This is the top story on nearly every major news service on the planet.

Fox - duh - is the only one I've come across so far that isn't screaming it from the front page.

[Ruby the Liberal]

19. That guardian.co.uk map!

:cry:

[AnArmyVeteran]

22. Each red dot should have names of every conservative by it listed as the murderers.

All of the bloodthirsty conservatives who mindlessly supported Bush are guilty of murdering those innocent people. I wonder how they would feel if another country invaded the US and killed all their families? Would they think the same about war? They cowardly sit and listen to cowardly faux talking heads and right wing radio frauds all of whom never served their country and lust for war. Many of these right wing media mutants even lusted for nuclear weapons to be dropped on Iraq. Conservatives are evil people with absolutely zero regard for other human beings.
