U.S. forces killed Faheema Jassim Khalaf's mother and two sisters...
God only knows how much of this is unreported. The war crimes continue ...

(snip)
In just a few seconds, an attack by U.S. forces killed Faheema Jassim Khalaf's mother and two sisters, tore apart her right leg below the knee and shattered her ankle.
(snip)
The U.S. military says the Khalaf family was caught in the crossfire as troops fired at a suspect in a poor district of Bayji, a city about 145 miles north of Baghdad. Khalaf, 15, and her relatives told The Associated Press in extensive interviews that they were the only target in the May 30 attack.

1. Someone has to directly sue the CEOs of the media corps for intentional

manipulation of the media in cooperation with the GOP party.

Otherwise we're all just pissing into the wind!

How about the 14 year old grandson being shot to death by the 101st as they entered the house has completely been deleted from the news.

2. These troops need to get organized and quit goofing up
Each time they goof up
and kill a few innocent "mulsim" A-rab children
they are creating grounds for revenge.
Other soldiers will surely be targets and possibly die
for these types of assenine wreckless mistakes.
Bring our troops home now!

3. your tax dollars at work.
That's what's really pissing me off. It makes us all complicit, it's our money financing these crimes.

I really don't want my government using my money to kill innocent people in a country that never threatened us.

It rrreeeeeeeeaaaalllllllyyyyyy pisses me off.

4. So sad
And so under-reported!

I used to believe that the US stood for doing the right thing. I always thought that we could be relied on to take the high road when it came to fighting and treating civilians and enemies. Not any more.

If I were prone to type out obscenities I'd say "fuck you, George Bush" but I'm not so I won't.
