Kirkuk Suicide Attack Kills At Least 15 Near School, U.S. Troops Seen At Site

[zootallures2]

Enjoy US and A! You are responsible for killing millions of children. In Korea, Veitnam, Guatamala, Afghanastan, Iraq....

Are you going to tell me this was going on when Saddam was in power?

The nerve of Iran to pick their own government.

We are fighting them over there so we don't have to start a civil war here to sell weapons.

Why is it the "civilized world" has a much higher homicide rate?

The Israel/Palestine war doesn't kill more than two US states kill each other in a year.

Thousands and thousands of murders, suicides, shoot ups, women cutting out each others babies, Katrina fraud, blowing up your own towers, horrible violent crimes aginst children, s-x preditors, child porn rings, wars, laying off your own workers to go to foreign countries and then expect patriotism, arsons, organized crime, people having to pay to keep money in banks, people having to pay to cash their own pay check, sky rocketing domestic violence and disfunctional families, sadistic reality TV shows, complete lying propagand news media....

You are civilized?????????????

Re: "A Dutch businessman appealing his war crimes conviction denied Monday that he knew chemicals he sold to Saddam Hussein's regime would be used to make poison gas."

What about Rumsfeld? I believe that he is available for war crimes proceedings at the moment, is he not?

If it was a baby GI - Bush & McCain would still say Iraq is 'Rosey'

[micma-2009]

So the President starts his "surge" and the violence in Iraq increases by 15%. How many failed Bu$h plans must the American people endure before we all come to the realization that he doesn't have a clue and never did?

[truthword]

This nation never was blessed by God, it has always been the cursed land of lucifer. From the massacre of the native americans to today it has been one big blood sacrifice to our misleaders babylonian gods and the secret mystery religion they follow. That's a fact, most people can't handle the truth but that's the truth of the matter. If telling the truth makes me "unpatriotic" then so be it.

[randalds]

Rand - congratulations! You've figured it out! Now you know why we (US) knew with great certainty that Iraq had WMD - get it? The real question is: where did the WMD go?
Posted by badaxmofo at 09:05 PM : Apr 02, 2007

The operative word is had. Most were destroyed after the first Gulf war as witnessed by UN weapons inspectors. Any that may have been hidden expired years before Bush invaded Iraq this time. Most gas and chemical weapons degenerate very quickly and none could have lasted the years between wars.

[feelfree1]

I wonder how many more coffins that the Bush Butchers will stack up before they are through?

Kill, loot, rape, and pillage seems to be all that they know. The Bush Butchers must be brought to account sooner than later. Who knows how many they have tortured, maimed, and slaughtered by now?

End the disgraceful U.S. debacle in Iraq.

didntinhale: you gotta make political hay out of everything? Figures.

This is a tragedy, from the baby to the GI. Incident after incident, and alas no end in sight.

"I dont know what pea brain imposed the USA with responsibility for "giving" Saddam WMD, but its nothing more than a fat conspiracy theory. Fact is, the primary items Iraq got from the US was authorized for medical research only. NOTHING ever was disclosed that demonstrated any intent by the USA or any of its allies to provide Iraq with Chemical or Biological weapons. Guaranteed. Everything else is idiots fodder." Posted by pwrslm

Wrong again. Perhaps you weren't around in the '80s when Reagan sold Saddam helicopters, which Saddam used to gas Kurds and Iranians. Then Reagan sold arms to Iran (remember Iran/Contra?) to kill Iraqis. Remember the photo of Rumsfled and Saddam shaking hands? They were buds!! Rumsfled knew in 1984 that Saddam had WMD back then but kept it secret until the first Gulf War. By then the WMD were depleted, else he would certainly have used them against the U.S. invasion then.

It's all public knowledge and can be found on the internet and elsewhere.

[truthword]

Randal, our government has always created our enemies for us, then they demonize them to the brainwashed masses through their controlled mass media.. or tele - vision... where they tele their vision into everyones heads. Reagan even called the afghan mujahadeen who went on to become Osama & The Taliban freedom fighters and dedicated a space shuttle flight to them. It continued with Clinton and Rumsfeld teaming up to sell North Korea nuclear reactors after giving North Korea over $100 billion in "foreign aid" over about a 10 year time period, and gee what do you know, now we got a nucular enemy. It's all about selling weapons, and dual use technology like nuclear reactors, do some research and you'll find richard cheneys and halliburtons dealings with Iran. I've always heard halliburton was originally owned by LBJ's wife during vietnam. Go look into the drug business, our government brings all the dope in and then wants a "War on drugs" so they can imprison those ignorant enough to buy into their drug culture that the CIA created during the late 60's and 70's. Even Cheech and Chong are operatives once you can recognize this scam, our entire culture, both political parties and the churches are heavily controlled by very evil people, and it's time we the people said enough is enough. We ain't gonna take it anymore!

didntinhale:
Your ignorance is truly amazing! We sold Saddam all kinds of weapons, including chem-weapons in the 1980s when we he was out friendly brutal dicatator. Oh how the US loves brutal dicators when they are friendly to our (corporate) interests.

What you don't understand is that the 1/2 life of the chem-weapons in Saddams arsenol was only a few years. It does not last. Read Scott Ritter's books and get informed. You are such a chump, an utter fool. Just the kind of mindless, fake patriot, that the NeoCons count on as an easy target to get an emotional vote. Nazis loved your type in Germany too, make no mistake about it. Wave the flag, scare people into giving up their freedom and their questioning.

If you love you country, do your patriotic duty and GET INFORMED. Then you will want to throw Bush and Cheney in JAIL. just like what the rest of my Republican family would like to do with these NeoCon SOBs.

[mh4cbs1]

Here's a little visualization to help understand the scope of the Bush-Cheney Murder Machine (since our Corporate Media has sanitized with War for US - out of sight, out of mind)

If the coffins of all our troops were lined up end to end, they would stretch down the highway for 4 long miles. Think about it next time you drive to work. Watch the clock as you are going 60 miles per hour, rushing past all those coffins, and think about all the fatherless kids, the grieving families surrounding each one. And tens of thousands more suffer permanently maimed, brain damaged, psychologically wounded.

Now think about the dead Iraqis - the end to end bodies (no coffins for most), would go on and on for a couple HUNDRED MILES. That is the legacy of our fascist WAR PRESIDENT - a murderous thug.

JAIL CHENEY and JAIL BUSH for Mass Manslaughter

July, 1992. "The Bush administration deliberately, not inadvertently, helped to arm Iraq by allowing U.S. technology to be shipped to Iraqi military and to Iraqi defense factories... Throughout the course of the Bush administration, U.S. and foreign firms were granted export licenses to ship U.S. technology directly to Iraqi weapons facilities despite ample evidence showing that these factories were producing weapons." Representative Henry Gonzalez, (D) Texas, testimony before the House.

Bullsh*it all you want, but all of the credible evidence is overwhelming. The Reagan and Bush administrations repeatedly approved of or helped ship tons and tons of biological and chemical weapons materials to Saddam Hussein.

[randalds]

Also, September, 1988. US Department of Commerce approves shipment of weapons grade anthrax and botulinum to Iraq. December, 1988. Dow chemical sells $1.5 million in pesticides to Iraq despite knowledge that these would be used in chemical weapons. July, 1991 The Financial Times of London reveals that a Florida chemical company had produced and shipped cyanide to Iraq during the 80's using a special CIA courier. Cyanide was used extensively against the Iranians. February, 1994. Senator Riegle from Michigan, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, testifies before the senate revealing large US shipments of dual-use biological and chemical agents to Iraq that may have been used against US troops in the Gulf War and probably was the cause of the illness known as Gulf War Syndrome.

A) March, 1986. The United States with Great Britain block all Security Council resolutions condemning Iraq's use of chemical weapons, and on March 21 the US becomes the only country refusing to sign a Security Council statement condemning Iraq's use of these weapons. B) The US Department of Commerce licenses 70 biological exports to Iraq between May of 1985 and 1989, including at least 21 batches of lethal strains of anthrax. C) April 1988. US Department of Commerce approves shipment of weapons grade botulin poison to Iraq. D) April, 1988. US Department of Commerce approves shipment of chemicals used in manufacture of mustard gas.

Look it up....if you need to maybe you can someone to explain it to you. I also have dozens of other authoritative sources including statements from many upper level figures in the Regan administration, such as McFarlane and even Rumsfeld.

The surge is working, the surge is working.

We're turning another corner, we're making progress.

Ignore these liberal, Bush hating media stories.
