Excellent REALITY Reporting From Baghdad, What A HORROR!

[leftchick]

while that chimp and his poodle diddle about, here is what is happening every fucking day in Baghdad.

omg.... The Horror. :cry:

<snip>

Shops and schools have closed. Workers, merchants and civil servants have been kidnapped in their dozens, many later found tortured and dead on the streets. Teachers are dragged pleading for mercy from their classes. Family life has shrunk indoors in a city where nightmares come true and everyone has bad dreams.

<snip>

For family man Abu Marwah, the Nov. 23 bombs in the Shi'ite slum stronghold of Sadr City were a life-changing moment.

Already his neighbourhood was being hit by deadly mortar attacks, a death squad shot and dumped two men near his house, his wife had given up work and his local shops had closed.

But on the night of the bombing, when the 40-year-old translator found himself picking up his Kalashnikov in anger for the first time and preparing to shoot anyone who came near, he realised it was time finally to abandon his home.

Fearful the district would be attacked, he went out on the street, taking orders from tough-talking strangers, all of one sect, who organised the men into defensive positions.

This is so fucking shocking...

<SNIP>

"If I die, it will be when God chooses. I'm not afraid," he said, sitting in his office in a suit and tie. "But I was thinking 'What will my family do if something happens to me?' This week I made up my mind to leave."

The exodus -- which would be equivalent in terms of its population to a million Americans emigrating every month -- is hitting business, deadening the city's economy, which briefly flourished when the U.S.-led invasion ended sanctions.

"You get the feeling there's no one left," said shopkeeper Wisam Badia, 40, at his small store in central Baghdad. "They're either afraid to go out -- or they're fleeing the country."

10. Abu Marwah sounds like an ingrate

Doesn't he realize the sacrifice this great country has endured to give him the gift of freedom? And what's he going to do with it? Take his family and leave! "It's too dangerous" wah wah! Buck up and fight, man!11

too far under the radar of most Americans. MKJ

[leftchick]

14. hi G j

13. It is, except we saw Vietnam, a lot of it compared to Iraq.

I don't want to see it everyday on the 6 o'clock news, but I think Americans need to see it...to see what we're doing to the Iraqis...to see the bodybags and flag draped coffins.

It's too easy to avoid and not look at these awful images unless it's on all the time and you have to do it.Most Americans avoid the little that is aired or written.

I'll never forget the images I saw from Vietnam, (sadly) never.

The people who are responsible for allowing this invasion and for letting this war continue should have to watch it 24/7. The people who support these warmongers should have to do the same.

15. Meanwhile Bush speaks about the

prince of peace and lights his christmas tree.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Now is that a FRENCH poodle or a Sears and Roebuck poodle?

Intercoursing the K-9 101 is what the young rethuglick'ems study in school. When they ain't talkin' to Maf54 on the puter!

Let's send the YOUNG REPUBLICANS to Baghdad to solve the problems they helped create there.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

17. Yup.

There isn't going to be any fucking solution - ISG report or no.
