[jackstraw45]

These photos are all from TODAY:

[indepat]

1. It's easy to see why people are willing to die for liberty and freedom:

Thank God we are a nation willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and expend maybe tens of thousands of lives, ours and theirs, just to bring liberty and freedom to a people half-way around the world.

[jackstraw45]

2. For people who want freedom from US occupation.....

There's the rub.

[TomClash]

3. You know something . . .

. . . many right wingers actually like to see people die.

[bvar22]

24. As long as the people dying aren't...

rich and white.

[TomClash]

4. Good photos

[Judi Lynn]

5. You're right. The people look VERY intelligent, very concerned.

Not at all like the murderous fiends we are told they are if they resist us.

The man looks so thoughtful, and respectful looking at the child, who seems to be trying so hard to get through his experience. It almost is too much to bear, just as a witness to the moment in a photo.......

So damned sad.

On edit:

I forgot to thank Jackstraw45. Thank you for posting these views from today. The faces are so understandable, so familiar, so normal, actually.

[Obamarama]

6. So THIS is what catastrophic success looks like....

So very, very sad.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. bush* should be forced to look at these pictures

taped to his ignorant face up close and personal. I hate bush*

[bread_and_roses]

18. He should have to go to those hospitals

and watch hurt babies screaming. The miserable, murderous, lying profiteering unnamable piece of filth should have to tell the parents screaming over dead children that they should be grateful to the US.

When will we demand a stop to these murders in our name?

[Tsiyu]

8. Of course he's proud!

And if you don't like it, we'll lock you up and throw away the key. You see, we THOUGHT we were going in to LIBERATE these people. But after we killed a bunch of the innocent ones, blew up all their buildings, schools, hospitals, etc, let looters and thugs run the streets and tortured a few of them, we realized they were ISLAMOFASCISTS so, screw liberation. We're just blowing them up as fast as we can now to get to the oil more efficiently. And that baby? CBS staged that picture. No babies have died in our warmongering. After all, we are RIGHT-TO-LIFERS!!!!!

[RC]

12. Yeah, but...., but..., but...,

that baby's been born. Our job as RIGHT-TO-LIFERS is done here already.

[Nordic]

9. and the beatings will continue until morale improves

Can't anyone tell the US military that this is NOT working?

Who's in charge?

Oh .... yeah ...... almost forgot ............

[jackstraw45]

10. Bush will be remembered for creating a NEW generation that HATES America

Every child of a killed mother or father in Iraq...every wounded child...will KNOW and REMEMBER that the United States of America is who did this to them.

Bush's "legacy" will be a GENERATION of renewed HATRED of the United States in the Middle East.

Thanks, Dim-Son (& PNAC that pulls his strings).

11. what is with the big hole in the ground?

Is it another mass grave or is it something besides that? These pictures just show the horrors of this nightmare!

OUT THE DOOR IN '04!!!!!

KERRY/EDWARDS!

:dem: :kick:

[RC]

13. The big hole in the ground is

from an explosion. Either from a car bomb or the US military took out a 8 year old terrorist with a back pack, walking to school

[happynewyear]

31. well it could easily double as a mass grave

how fucking convenient!

:dem: :kick:

14. From a US Bomb....

People look at a crater in Fallujah, Iraq , Saturday Sept. 18, 2004, after an U.S. airstrike on Friday evening. An American jet fired at a house where about 10 members of an al Qaeda-linked group were believed to be meeting in Fallujah on Friday night, police and the US military said. At least three people died in the attack. (AP Photo/Abdul Khader Sadi)

We might as well see what is REALLY happening in Iraq when Bush & co. LIE about it EVERY DAY.

Things improving? Elections in January?

They are FULL OF SHIT.

16. reality kick!

Wake the fuck up AmeriKa!...

[leftchick]

17. 2 soldiers died in the Military convoy pictured.....

1031 and 1032... :(

[jackstraw45]

19. Such a waste....

Americans need to wake the F*CK up and fast or we will be in the same mess in Iran by 2006 WITH a draft.

[jackstraw45]

20. A few more for today, 9/18/04

Relatives look at the condition of an injured man after a car bomb exploded as a crowd of people were waiting to apply for jobs with the Iraqi National Guard in Kirkuk, Iraq (news - web sites), Saturday Sept. 18, 2004. Killing at least 20 people and wounding 16, this was the third car bomb this week targeting Iraq's security forces. (AP Photo/Yahaya Ahmed)

21. Pretty sickening - I never thought we would forget the lessons of history

I am just so astonished how simple-minded some of the knuckleheads (Dumbya leading) are that don't have any problem justifying this mass killing. I'm dumbfounded.

[leftchick]

22. My contribution.....

RIP you poor soul. God Forgive AmeriKa... :(

[arwalden]

23. These Photos Give Republicans Big Hard On's.

[leftchick]

25. more than likely they are....

little teeny itsie bitsie hard-ons....

[SemiCharmedQuark]

26. Repubs also like to execute people, even children.

They don't give a fuck about life, unless you're a rich white male. They only care about rich white females because they someday might do their duty and bear them a rich white son.

27. casualties in Iraq

Bush loves this stuff. Forcing him to view it would be fine with him. It's his favorite pornography.

Haven't American troops been killing everything that moves for over a year now and haven't thousands of dead until proven innocent people been produced as a result of US Armed Forces efforts?

Every time I bring this up i get: "It's war, there will be collateral damage. It's like our troops have a licence to kill innocent civilians?

And at Abu Grabe they had a licence to kill torture rape and film violent pornography! Which was authorized by the White house!

Well, Bush has got my vote, as I'm a proud patriotic uhmurikan!

28. kick

:kick:

[jackstraw45]

29. Unless it's their kids....or themselves

F-ing cowards.

Chicken George would never put HIMSELF in danger.

[Dangerman]

30. OMG

Is this the free and liberated Iraq Bush and his henchmen are telling us about?

(sarcasm) At least the Bushies are happy to have gotten rid of Saddam. (/sarcasm) Now it's Bushies' turn to torment the Iraqi people using our troops as thier pawns!

Bastards!

[the_outsider]

32. why are you looking at these?

You are supposed to watch the Emmy awards.

[Zorra]

33. Bu$h is a murderer of innocent children and babies.

He is the most horrid, evil man on this planet.

[anchorsaweigh7903]

34. I feel Horrible for these people....

I feel like a confused teenager...well I guess I am. I'm beginning to wonder if what's happening over there is Vietnam V2.0. The Reds are constantly telling their people that the Iraqis are savages and deserve to be slaughtered relentlessly, but look at the anguish in these people's eyes. They aren't savage animals...THEY ARE HUMAN FUCKING BEINGS!!! They have been through ALL of the most horrible of human experiences one could imagine at the expense of Saddam, and sadly us. Pity and Shame
