Fallujah, two months after the democrification.... MUST SEE.
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 08:10 PM by 4MoronicYears
Absolutely f*cking unbelievable, absolutely unreal, the city was DESTROYED. YOU MUST CHECK THIS OUT.


http://www.chris-floyd.com/fallujah/new1/

"We found the bodies right behind their front doors, it looked to me as if they opened their doors for the Americans and were shot dead"

"The smashed up the cupboards and they wrote something bad on the wall"

"They were men who had stayed behind to protect their homes..." "It was Ramadan and people would have

"He claimed none of them had weapons"

"An old man of 90 was shot dead in his kitchen"


ON EDIT TO ADD:
After Fallujah and Iraq were 'safer' according to the US military Brass. Not according to this documentary which shows footage of some of the thousands of refugees in makeshift camps - living in tents outside the city. Residents told the interviews that food aide had stopped and the were freezing and just wanted to go home. But go home to what?

When Fallujans returned home it difficult to try and even find out where they used to live. Seventy percent of the city was destroyed or severely damaged. Houses with dead bodies were marked by US Marines with a cross and a groups of Fallujan citizens were herded to collect the dead and bury them.

"We found the bodies right behind the front doors," said one resident. "It looked like they had opened their doors and were immediatly shot dead... these were mostly men who stayed behind to protect their own homes. It was Ramadam."

The film also shows the dead bodies of people who apparently asleep in their beds.

4. Paul Hacket on scene talking about the ID cards to get into Fallujah?
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 08:35 PM by Mika
About half way through vid, there's Paul Hacket, in uniform, in Fallujah, rationalizing the ID cards Fallujans must have to enter their own city/home.

So.. Paul was one of the perps/enablers of this atrocity? :puke:

6. only two recommendations? . . . are we becoming immune to the . . .
carnage? . . . I certainly hope not . . .

I watched the video and recommend that you do the same . . . it's a difficult 14 minutes, but well worth you time . . . listening to Iraqis telling their own stories is both eye opening and heart breaking . . .
