don't like pictures of u.s. soldiers killing women and kids? change the ch
change the channel, that's what a u.s. army general said when an iraqi reporter asked him about images on local iraqi t.v. alleged to be showing footage of u.s. soldiers firing upon women and children.

the general told the man, 'if you don't like to see images of u.s. soldiers killing women and children....change the channel'. he said it twice, with great emphasis, 'change the channel'.

nice. no wonder we are called the ugly americans

1. And it was said in a nasty sarcastic tone
I was offended... really...the words were bad enough, but the TONE made it worse by far...sickening

7. Kimmitt is obviously one of the yes-men and a liar.
Like the black one-star they had as spokeman before "mission accomplished" (who described the fierce firefights during the rescue of Jessica Lynch). I'm an Army man, and I hate to see the neocons destroy the reputation of the military. The Bush cabal has promoted the yes-men to the top. Sad days for the USA and the Army.
This guy Dan Senor is a worm, too.

6. A man like this general makes even me not want to support our troops.
Why doesn't God strike us all dead? What is he waiting for. We don't deserve to inhabit the good earth!

9. did you hear him talk about the cease fire?
sounded like he wants it to fail, because the marines have taken up postitions that would make taking the entire town easier. :(

10. Yes I did, I received the same feeling that this "no where mustache"
that comes out of a "nickle guess-what" does not want the cease fire talks to be successful.

This son-of-a-bitch couldn't be a private in a banana republic. The mere sight this motherfucker sets every molecule, and atom off in my being.

11. Terrible picture in my head
Of this team "high fiving" it when (and it is when) they flatten Fallujah, and everyone in it, to dust. Even more disurbing picture of the chickenhawk team, after their high fives, retiring to a more private place to...uh..."reflect" on their major victory.

No stop, blind me, I don't want to see that!

14. Just read Raed's blog
He watched it, described it and you will know how bad of an action it was by Raed's reaction.

15. Link: US soldier to Iraqi detainee: "S**k my a**, b**ch, ok?"
"I'd like to stick my foot up your a**" -- the soldier continues shouting to the passive, restrained line of detainees. The soldiers also admit they like the detainees to try to run so they can shoot them.

This was from the transcript of CNN Presents: Hope and Fear, aired 4/11/04 -- Nic Robertson reporting from Iraq. It was a very strong hour of programming; read the whole transcript.

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0404/11/cp.00.html

I've posted this link before, but it's so strong, disturbing and irrefutable objective reporting from a mainstream US source, I thought I'd post it again for those who missed it. I hope CNN airs the show again.

17. So basically he's admitting to ordering the shooting of women & children.
Is that not a war crime?

19. We need more of this on Network TV

This is what America is becoming under Bush

We need all to see the Human Filth he employs as a General

'if you don't like to see images of u.s. soldiers killing women and children....change the channel'. he said it twice, with great emphasis, 'change the channel'.

21. Some funny military dude also said Iraqis shouldn't watch channels...
not telling the truth. He suggested they watch something more trustworthy. I think he meant the US Goebbels propaganda channel.

22. That explains it!
That's how they do it. Brain disengagement. Flip the switch. New signal. Oh so much better.

I've often wondered how they maintain the delusions.

23. Can we just change the channel on this administration?
Damn, guess not.

Fun to wish and hope for though, isn't it?

Peace and Happy Belated Easter to everyone here. Jesus was a Prince of Peace, of that I am sure. I think Mohammed was as well. I am sorry for the pain that the US has inflicted upon the rest of this world. I am sorry. Peace be upon us all.
