The good old boys are laying siege to Fallujah as we speak, carrying out punitive action against 100 000’s all in the name of freedom?

I mean how much freedom can these children handle?

Carrying out untold atrocities on families who have been living under tyranny for years, the battle for hearts and minds has always been about spilled blood and brains.

The US murder machine is in full swing, street to street, bedroom to kitchen, tank to baby’s head.

The world’s undisputed and self-proclaimed economic, military and calorie superpower is out to prove a point, no one knows what, but it means business. Freedom is too precious, terrorists too numerous and oil too controllable to let a few children in the way.

One suicide bomber taking out a bus acting on his own for deluded ideals and the promise of personal satisfaction in the form of revenge. Then the juggernaut meting out kindness by indiscriminate killing day in day out turning the fertile crescent red with the blood of collaterally damaged men, women and children, winning hearts and minds and doing it for the greater good of the desert and the promise of something forgotten.

Bin Laden, Saddam, Sadr have nothing to worry as skulls are crushed for a free Iraq, free of peace, free of contentment, free of representative elections.

They might grumble as they kill, their desert shoes came late, they even get shot at but they’ll be damned if they don’t win hearts and minds.

Didn't you know? Democracy tastes like dying.

No no...this for oil not for democracy. Everybody knows oil stands for Operation Iraqi Liberation.

The cycle of oppression keeps turning, different faces same innocents getting killed, just maybe the latest form of murder is more efficient, bigger bombs, better rifles faster tanks.

Why do the yankee apologist always compare the US with Saddam. If you are better than the worst scum on this planet, it does not make you good. A murderer has left Iraq only to be replaced by a serial killer.

:( I wonder what's going on in Falujah.

From what is heard through rumors and such they are starving out areas and some small towns. So much for honor and the american way :rolleyes:

Good to see people admitting when their mistake.

A professor from Baghdad University was being interviewd yesterday and he said exactly the same thing. Even the educated folk in Iraq are tired of innocent dying at the hands of US.

These people should be grateful that the US liberated them and brought peace to their land.

Indeed.

But Fallujah has become a rallying point for all Iraqi’s - Sunni and Shia, who are donating blood for their brothers and sisters in the stricken city. For every Iraqi that is killed in Fallujah or elsewhere in Iraq now, the pain is felt all over Iraq, and hatred of America increases all the time.
