'The forces shelled these neighbourhoods with helicopters, destroying more than 150 houses and killing more than 350 citizens, their bodies still under wreckage, in addition to arresting scores of citizens,' the statement added
They termed the operations 'collective punishment'
Jenin anyone? Same sickening stench. No doubt patterned after the sub human filth called the jew. What disgusting animals all.
Well, I say better them than us. If we dont kill them first, they will try to kill us.
At 52 years old, I never would have thought Americans would be so eager to kill. I thought our elected officals where to uphold our constitution and govern our country and use the military options after all other options have not worked. Nor was Church and State supposed to ever be this close to one another, but with this current president the church is running the state
This war, and the Islamists concerted efforts to terrorize us, is the result of the wickedness of the people of the United States. If we would repent and turn to God, they would have no power over us.
'alleging that more than 350 people have been killed by a US military operation in Baquba to hunt down al-Qaeda-affiliated members.'
It is fun to make up numbers, isn't it? 350, 600,000, a bazillion.... These bastards are such liars....
americans monkeys you are monkeys you will stay...
nicly covered up by the 'London and glasgow terrorplot', nice timing US.
Zionazis at their last adventure
I believe the Iraqis are a stupid bunch of people. They got rid of Saddam, but embraced Bush with 'six hands', whose policies are worse than Saddam. While the carnage continues, many non-Iraqis are making money from the war. The Arabs have always been this way, greedy and dumb without a unifying denominator. That explains while every decade there is a major war in the M.E. They should wake up and end Bush's occupation of their country by unifying themselves, taking control of their oil wealth, throwing out these dubious contractors supporting the Bush administration - that way they can develop their country and have the wealth circulate in their economy than having it exported to the US , Australia, and England.
How many Iraqis have to die for George Bush's empire to be realized? This war is just a money making entity for the Bush administration's 'circle of great friends' while innocent American soldiers die and Iraqis civilians are slaughtered everyday.
Democracy cannot be imposed on a people. It never works. Somehow, it is my conviction that the Iraqis now believe, Saddam era was paradise on earth for them. Deep in their hearts, they must be regretting why they betrayed Saddam for they have never slept with their two eyes closed since the Americans landed.
' Democracy cannot be imposed on a people. It never works. '
Tell that to Germany and Japan.

OIL : Operation Iraq Liberation
World War three has begun and the winner is ISLAM. May god bless us.
350 is nothing. If we were doing 'collective punishment' we would have used thermobaric weapons to raze all of Baquaba, and then monster bulldozers to plow the remains under. There would be 350,000 dead, not 350. These muslim scum exaggerate all too much. Perhaps at some point we need to get really 'Roman' with them and show them what killing really is.
'Whatever' and ill informed people like 'him' are the problem in this country. Hitler was elected to the Legislature originally. Germany was a REPUBLIC prior to WWII, as in democratic REPUBLIC. Get your facts straight and stop spreading ignorant lies, you do no one a service by lying. Finally, Japan still clings to it's Monarchy (King and Queen), as a American I find that an affront to Representaional Democracy. Finally, the level of fear coming from my fellow country men is distgusting. Do you live your life in fear or do you stand tall?
Alea iacta est
''Whatever' and ill informed people like 'him' are the problem in this country.'
Ok... that is the set up, then:
'Hitler was elected to the Legislature originally. '
WRONG, he was appointed by Hindenburg. The Nazis then used the Reichstag fire to give themselves special powers to end democracy in Germany.
' Germany was a REPUBLIC prior to WWII, as in democratic REPUBLIC.'
Eyerolls, the claim was that Democracy can not be imposed, the Nazi Germany was not a democratic country, idiot.
'Get your facts straight and stop spreading ignorant lies, you do no one a service by lying.'
LOL! You are provably wrong and hysterical about it. You funny little thing.
'Finally, Japan still clings to it's Monarchy (King and Queen)'
So does the UK.
' as a American I find that an affront to Representaional[sic] Democracy'
I am sure that the democracies of the United Kingdom, Japan, The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Sweden would all line up to tell you where you can shove your being 'affronted'. They all have an element of their monarchies in government, often more so then Japan.
'Finally, the level of fear coming from my fellow country men is distgusting[sic].'
Indeed, usually from the cut and run crowd.
'Do you live your life in fear or do you stand tall?'
I absolutely stand tall. I am about a quarter mile away from ground zero and I recognize that we are up against a legitimate threat. I have no tolerance for idiots who wish to deny that obvious fact. Nothing cowardly in seeing that there are miserable jihadists that need to be dealt with, in fact tit is a lot more courageous then burying your head in the sand.
The quality of politicians on the Sunni side is a real disappointment for people like me who felt all along that no community in Iraq should ever be marginalized again after the demise of the Saddam regime.
These Sunni politicians want exclusive hold of power as if it is god given and a forgone conclusion. When they fail in the ballot box and when they fail in taking up historical power sharing agreements offered by the Shia and Kurds, 80% of Iraq’s population, what else do they do? The simply resort to violence under the pretext of an insurgency fighting an American occupation. I doubt very much that there is anyone who believes this crap any more, not when their militias, such as the Islamic Army and 1920 Brigades, are now in open collaboration with the occupiers.
Of course many Sunni politicians including parliamentarians openly advocate violence and maintain their own small armies that have terrorized places such as the Adil, Jamiaa and Yarmouk districts displacing Shia through intimidation, murder and kidnap.
Now that they have grown in power and have the support of the Americans they do not need the backing and protection of their old allies the Qaeda.
Americans are fools, true fools to think or believe or trust these Sunni tribal forces. If any one is in doubt just read a bit of history of modern Mesopotamia to find how quick these tribes change allegiances betraying and stabbing their friends of yesterday.
'Surge' or 'Scorched Earth?' Plan A was 'war till the last drop.' Now we see that plan B is 'if we can't have it, nobody will.'
Just got back from my 16 months in Iraq. Let me say that this war is a crusade. Except todays motives are wealth and power, not religious in nature. You want stability with the Middle East -- dream on!....You want out of this mess, a mess that has been unfolding for hundreds of years; cut ties with Israel (usless ally anyhow!) and bring the troops home. Simple Watson....
We would be stupid and fools if not true clowns to think that Saddam was anything other then the creation of the CIA and an American stooge.
We would be double fools to not to think that Iran has an agenda in Iraq.
Of course greedy Arabs want to dip into the spoils of war. After all Jordan’s prosperity was built with Iraqi money flowing into Aqaba and Amman in the days of Saddam.
Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, the true grandfather and mentor of the Qaeda and an ugly instigator of Takfiri sectarianism has its hands painted red by Iraqi blood. The very same hands they use to shake their American protectors.
Believe you me, Iraqis are not fools and they know their foes and friends too well despite the fog.
'American fools, a view from inside Iraq'
HOW IS THAT OIL BILL COMING? Where are the Iraqi police forces? How many years do we have to wait for Iraqis to step up and help secure their freedom instead of expecting that it be made a present to them?
'We would be stupid and fools if not true clowns to think that Saddam was anything other then the creation of the CIA and an American stooge. '
LOL! You do love your conspiracy theories over there don't you?
'elieve you me, Iraqis are not fools and they know their foes and friends too well despite the fog. '
Yeah yeah, you hate the Saudis. I don't like them either. You have more pressing concerns though, time is running out and the next phase of your torment is going to be a Civil war and proxy war between Saudi Arabia/The UAE/ Jordon and Iran unless you can persuade your fellow Iraqis to get off their asses and help us out. If that happens you will long for the good old days of American occupation.
