Support the Troops -- not these bastards.


The blood on this child is her parent's blood.

Yet more orphands created by Der bushie gang and the trigger happy troops.

Two more Iraqis gain freedom.

The rest of the photos are here:

2. They treat these people like they're not even human!
You must wonder what the people working at the hospital think of these trigger happy troops? Who do you think they'll vote for in the election?!

3. To be fair, we don't have all the facts on this story yet, do we?
And I can't tell what's going on in the photo, really.

Could be behavior by our own of the worst sort. Or...could be something else.

I'll wait until all the facts are out. We haven't heard the troops' explanation.

5. the little boy also looks terrified to death--numbed, stunned, frozen
Does that soldier that is crouched down on the right hand side of the photo have his gun aimed at that little, screaming girl? It looks like the barrel of a gun.

And we have just confirmed a liar, an incompetant psychophant with a fancy but lying rhetoric, who has no experience at all in government, who is obviously NOT competant for this job, to be promoted to the serious job of Sec'y of state. We have a puppet worse than Colin Powell who cannot even give her own view of issues but continually refers to major decisions as those that "we" thought.

and she thinks all is well when finally Iraqi people get to vote. After that, who the hell knows what she will do or think, so inconsistent has been her past record. I suspect she will beat it out of there, as ordered to do so by her boss, and blame everything that happens after that great "democractic institution of voting, is finally implemented in Iraq. In her fancy language of course.

7. If the MSM plastered images like this every day
like they did with the Beslan tragedy in Russia, everyone would oppose the war straight away. The trouble is they actively sanitize their coverage.
