RAMADI, Iraq, Nov 12 (Reuters) - An Iraqi Red Crescent doctor said on Saturday more than 50 bodies had been found in the rubble of a town near the Syrian border which U.S.-led troops swept through this week in an anti-insurgent offensive.

The U.S. military says it has detained around 180 insurgents and killed at least 36 more in the operation, which was continuing in the nearby town of Karabila on Friday.

It said around 900 civilians who fled the town were given temporary housing nearby during the operation.

As residents started to trickle back to Qusayba in recent days, doctor Saif al-Ani, who works for the Red Crescent in the Qaim area, told Reuters they had unearthed at least 54 bodies in the rubble, including some women and children.

6. Oh, all those kids were terrorists!

I bet the infants hid suicide bombs in their binkies.

After all, the U.S. uses special bombs and bullets that only kill the bad guys, right?

I can't LOL because it's all too sad.

We don't report much about the atrocities we commit.

9. for some reason

this subject does not resonate with DUers the way it used to. Perhaps it is war fatigue. Soldier death threads are not too busy either...
