Quote from TorontoTrader2:
Holy shoot a fleet of war planes dropped WMD on a civillian town. We can only guess at the slaughter that took place, as it is hidden from us.
We do not have the freedom to see the body count of those who lived in this village, people just like you and I.
Only the most sick and evil person could think a village in a 2nd or 3rd world country is a threat to the Western Military Industrial complex
Sleep well, the terror is being spread. We are truely a threat to freedom everywhere.
Ordinary men and women, doing evil but brainwashed that they are "spreading liberty and freedom". Not since Kamikazi pilots have we seen such brainwashing. Should be tried for war crimes.
I can only hope they suffer a lifetime of PTSD and nighmares for their crimes.
But disregard everything I have said, an Iraqi life has ZERO worth to us.
Safe havens? Another report called it as it is, they said villages were bombed. Who lives in villages? Ordinary people grow up and live there.
Just imagine now, if planes unleashed terror to the south of YOUR city, what would it look like and how would you react?
I cannot keep silent as WMD are used on a civillian population, that would be evil.

US planes unleash 40,000 pounds of bombs in 10 minutes near Baghdad
Associated Press - January 10, 2008 11:13 AM ET
ZAMBARANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - A large-scale U.S. offensive continues in Iraq.
U.S. bombers and jet fighters have unleashed 40,000 pounds of explosives within 10 minutes on the southern outskirts of Baghdad, targeting what the military calls safe havens for al-Qaida in Iraq.
The attack is part of Operation Phantom Phoenix, a campaign against al-Qaida in Iraq that was launched Tuesday.
The military says two B-1 bombers and four F-16 fighters dropped the bombs on 40 targets in Arab Jabour in 10 strikes. Al-Qaida fighters are believed to control Arab Jabour, a Sunni district scarred by daily violence.
A military spokeswoman says the attack is 1 of the largest airstrikes since the war started in March 2003.
An Iraqi army officer says the air raid was followed by a ground attack that led to 12 arrests and the discovery of 2 houses used to torture kidnap victims.

Big Fucking deal. At 500lbs each, that's like 80 bombs or 8 per strike. But thanks for the drama.
This is freedom, liberty, strong resolve, and democracy!
You MUST believe this! Or else....
But if someone so much as sets off a firecracker in OUR city it's an excuse to occupy and start WW3.

Oh, By the Way, the Iraqis Don't Really Want Us
By WILLIAM BLUM
Did you miss this? It should have been the lead story in every newspaper and radio and TV program in America. In the Washington Post it was on page 14. In virtually all of the rest of the media it was on page zero, channel zero, 0000 AM or 00.0 FM.
The US military in Iraq hired firms to conduct focus groups amongst a cross section of the population. A summary report of the findings was obtained by the Post. Here are some of the highlights of the report as disclosed by the newspaper:
* Until the March 2003 US occupation Sunnis and Shiites coexisted peacefully.
* Iraqis of all sectarian and ethnic groups believe that the US military invasion is the primary root of the violent differences among them.
* After the United States leaves Iraq, national reconciliation will happen "naturally."
* A sense of "optimistic possibility permeated all focus groups ... and far more commonalities than differences are found among these seemingly diverse groups of Iraqis."
* Dividing Iraq into three states would hinder national reconciliation. (Only the Kurds did not reject this option.)
* Most would describe the negative elements of life in Iraq as beginning with the US occupation.
* Few mentioned Saddam Hussein as a cause of their problems, which the report described as an important finding, implying that "the current strife in Iraq seems to have totally eclipsed any agonies or grievances many Iraqis would have incurred from the past regime, which lasted for nearly four decades -- as opposed to the current conflict, which has lasted for five years."
The Washington Post added this note:
"Outside of the military, some of the most widespread polling in Iraq has been done by D3 Systems, a Virginia-based company that maintains offices in each of Iraq's 18 provinces. Its most recent publicly released surveys, conducted in September for several news media organizations, showed the same widespread Iraqi belief voiced by the military's focus groups: that a U.S. departure will make things better. A State Department poll in September 2006 reported a similar finding."
This just in: The US has found the perfect way to counteract such foolish attitudes of the Iraqi people. On January 10, the Associated Press reported: "U.S. bombers and jet fighters unleashed 40,000 pounds of explosives on the southern outskirts of Baghdad within 10 minutes Thursday in one of the biggest air strikes of the war, flattening what the military called safe havens for al-Qaida in Iraq." There was no mention of whether the planes had also dropped pamphlets saying: "We bomb you because we care about you."
On December 20, the legislature of Panama declared the date to be a day of "national mourning" in memory of the American invasion on that day in 1989. "This is a recognition of those who fell on Dec. 20 as a result of the cruel and unjust invasion by the most powerful army in the world," said Rep. Cesar Pardo, of the governing Democratic Revolutionary Party, which holds a majority in the legislature. U.S. officials downplayed the issue.
"We prefer to look to the future," said a U.S. Embassy spokesman. "We are very satisfied to have a friend and partner like Panama, a nation that has managed to develop a mature democracy."
As with their attack on Iraq on March 19, 2003, the United States, with no provocation or international legality (yes, another war of aggression), first bombed Panama, then staged a ground invasion, killing as many as a few thousand, while offering no believable reason for their psychopathic behavior.
Will we some day see in a free and independent Iraq the setting of March 19 as a day of national mourning?

Panama reads the Post (the NY Times, I'm sure) and believes in Hollywood.

Quote from ratboy88:
iraq had zero to do with 9/11. why is an imbecile(rcanfiel) posting those pic's?
What is an airhead (ratboy) doing with an internet connection?
It is all about A PRECENTAGE OF MUSLIMS WHO THINK THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST and strapping on suicide vests and walking into a civilian area somehow strikes a blow for Allah. This is war.
What planet have you been wandering? Try reading to gain something called "CONTEXT"
Hey TT2, aside from your civil liberties being trampled on a daily basis by The Man, i.e. , having vans and minidrones following you everywhere you go and you being picked up by the domestic arm of Blackwater and waterboarded because you're an idiot, is there anything you like about living in the West? Is it the unprecedented media coverage to the slaughter of innocent Iraqis by the evil American conquerors that living in North America affords you? Or do you stay because you know that is Toronto just a great big cesspool of capitalist oppression that will, someday, be brought into the warm healing embrace of the coming Caliphate?
