Iraqi women describe horrors of war

Two Iraqi women who lived through the U.S.-led war on their country are touring the Bay Area this week to describe to anyone who will listen the horrors they have seen and to demand that U.S. troops immediately go home..."'Angry' is a very small word for how I feel," Mufti said with intense eyes emphasizing her point.
"What would you do if I came over from Iraq and knocked down your door and took away your loved ones? You would fight back."


"How could (Americans) allow their Congress to vote for war?" she asked. "No, I don't understand. You have everything. Why send your boys to do this massacre? At least, think of your boys.".."We could hear the cluster bombs falling," she said. "We could only sit and listen. What else could we do?"

"You think President Bush loved Iraq in this way and liberated me from Saddam?" she asked. "This war was for the rich people here.".."Saddam was Iraqi, and you could manage him," Mufti said. "He was finished anyway. He was on his way out."

She described the wave of attacks against U.S. and European soldiers as a "genuine Iraqi resistance," not solely the work of Baath Party loyalists as U.S. officials have portrayed it...

1. I guess these silly women missed Bob Arnott's reports this week
On the Tweety show on MSNBC.

All breathless and "passionate" reporting about hoiw SWELL everything is in Iraq.

His reports would have embarrassed the most sycophantic of Nazi WW2 journalists.
