Bush's Sword of Damocles is poised above the people and city of Fallujah, ready to wreak the pent-up wrath his addled brain thinks his tainted election victory permits. This is the bizarre world-in-a-bubble in which most Americans reside. With a chorus of Onward, Christian Soldiers and a vapid, cheerleading press, the crusade continues unabated, as the world's revulsion continues to grow.

That's the kind of attitude I think is just great for public relations worldwide.
That about says it all, eh ?? EH ????

"Arrogance is unacceptable. Do it to my face, and I will react" - Jim Callaghan
Perhaps we could join Kofi Annan and the United Nations in urging a halt to all operations and then get the government of Iraq handed over to the guys that cut people's heads off, the bonus is that they'll cut off the heads of journalists too so we Canadians won't have to hear all the rest of them scream.
Perhaps the ideal solution, the solution the UN would wholeheartedly agree to, is re-installing Saddam Hussein in power - not only did he kill people quietly, UN officials made tons of cash off that guy so they would be more than happy for him to start their gravy train again, and we Canadians always fully support the United Nations.
The only downside is that Iraq would become a terrorist base from which they could organize and finance attacks against the West, but if we don't mind just a few dead in our streets....
Let me guess, you still think that Saddam was in cahoots with Osama, and that weapons of mass destruction have already been found?
Oh that is right, no such thing happened! Well then, by the articles of war, the people of Iraq have a legal right to resist the invaders. It is the US that is in violation of the Geneva Conventions, the spirit of the Nuremburg Trials and the entire UN body. To ignore all that is to keep feeding on the propaganda that the US spews each day.
So now Bush and his mercenaries are going to wipe out Fallujah, and the public's memory of it as well. Pretty neat trick. It's always worked in the past. Why shouldn't it now? And Americans have always come up with good reasons and necessary ones, rob, murder, pillage, and plunder.
Seems to me that's what happened when they entered Iraq in the first place. War isn't as easy as CNN (and mass media outlets such as) make it out to be, then again, I forgot:

I was right there with you.
This a NON has not been paying very close attention I guess. He thinks the US hasn't shot any journalists either. Man, it's obvious a NON has been hit with a yankie "smart-bomb".
a NON, there are court cases going to be taking place against this government from media sources around the globe for murdering their journalists.
I totally agree with the beheading crapolla too Milton. The really sad thing about the horror that is USA attacking Iraq is that HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THERE NOW? The feckless bastards have created the environment that they want so they CAN kill everyone. This government has lost ALL credibility. Every single bit. Even if they ever do decide to tell a truth, nobody in their right mind would ever believe them. They need to be in jail. Every single one of them.
Why do they take prisoners at all? Why do they allow a free press? Why are they trying to organize elections?
Get a grip, if US objectives were even close to what you guys 'think' then there wouldn't be a building standing in that entire country. Instead, the US has chosen the hard work of trying to build a democracy despite the resistance of fascists and religious fundamentalists who would rather re-impose a reign of terror.
