Some of that stuff is pretty scary. Warning: Not for the faint-hearted.

This one's about the most tame I came across! http://members.shaw.ca/freedomtwo/rumsfeld_fired.rm

The Rumsfeld one is my favorite.

I do not have television so it is quite a shock to see these image. Thanks Troll for sharing that.

Now what will people learn from this?

Oh! That's right! I forgot....

Superbowl is coming...

That's it?

We drop modern cluster bombs all over civilian targets and we hit 3 kids?

Damn. Saddam managed to kill thousands in just a few minutes using archaic chemical weapons.

I guess the difference between the supposed voice of Democracy for the world and a totalitarian dictatorship is lost on you here. Is it ok to kill children or not? And the fact that you would even suggest that there were only 3 kids killed by cluster bombs is sickening.

Actually I don't even know why I am replying to your post but no one else had yet.

One thing people should know is only the US really censors the media.

In most countries, reporters show exactly what they tape. As sickening as it is to watch. Watch TV during war in most of Europe or Asia, and seeing people die right before the camera is nothing unusual.

Only in the US do our "freedoms" require the media to remove such content.

Why exactly this is considered a "freedom" is beyond me.

I would think it would be better for the US to at least understand what war really is... and what our soldiers are living through.

Our media shows us pretty, prepaired video.

Yet, "freedom of press", they claim.

It's great that the Internet exists. So people do get an idea of what war really is.

Ironic that the Internet brings info that's technically forbidden (by the FCC) into the US households.

So take a look at some of the above, and if your stomach twitches... just thank a soldier for what they (have done)/(do).

Uh, don't know where you're getting your info from, but there have been far more than 3 children killed by cluster bombs.

From UNICEF:

UNICEF says that although the conflict may be largely over, Iraqi children continue to be maimed and killed at
a steady pace by the remnants of war.

Since the end of the war, more than 1,000 children have been injured by weapons such as cluster bombs
dropped by coalition forces, or the thousands of tonnes of munitions stockpiled and abandoned by Iraqi forces
in public buildings and residential areas of Iraq.

...

According to UNICEF, in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk alone, 133 children were killed or injured by unexploded ordnance
during the last two weeks of April._ As many as 20 incidents per day have been reported from the northern city of Mosul,
and the World Health Organization reports that in the south
children under five account for 20 per cent of UXO accidents.

Bombs are cheap.

So cheap that making them by the hundreds (or thousands? or millions), it does not matter much if we lose some.

That's what mass production is all about!


You worried of WMDs?


Waaaaaayyyyyy too expensive!

Try the pop bombs! Try junk weaponry! You pepper it in some area and FORGET ABOUT THEM!


A kill per dime!


Get some 50 years of oil on the cheap, and make someone else pay!

Killing children is an acceptable risk in securing U.S. economic interests.

No, that's how our foreign policy works.
