Knip I wonder about the shootings of innocents by the Yanks in Iraq, a fair number as well as recently the Brits gunned down a hresidence with a number of Basranians who were offed because a couple of Brits had been taken prisoner, turned over to the insurgents by Iraqi coppers who were friendly to said insurgency.
as far as precision bombing goes, well, a doctor in Basra had his entire fanily killed when his house was bombed instead of the house next door where Chemical Ali was supposed to bee.
Sure, a B-52 can now lay down a straight line of bomb craters, and so forth, yet there have been a significant number of civilian casualties, due to the high speed that planes fly, and due to the fact that heavily populated areas were bombed, make it inevitable also the so-called intelligence.
Tactical air support of gyrenes bogged down by enemy insurgents firing from a village or city may very well hit the target, but the bombs are so powerful that they still destroy well beyond their specific target.
The cops in America shoot first, depending on if you are a person of color. My god it happens all the time. The same rascist mentality carries over to our foreign wars.
Honor the warrior not the war, so they say.
Shit, I ain't dying for no white man!
For a media alternative, try tuning in to Democracy Now. Today, Col Janice Karpinski, the former prisons commandant in Iraq, spoke at length about how Abu Grave? prison was specifically commandeered by the intels, that the code of treatment of the prisoners came down from the very top, and that she was kept in the dark about it, and when she tried to intrude, was made scapegoated, all in her new book,
One woman's Army
She was shown the videos about this shit and was pissed, so Dubya demoted her.
She was adamant that humane treatment be accorded whenever possible. She stated that a memo circulated by Rumsfeld set the tone for interrogation techniques in excess.
Anyhow, our government is corrupt.
Man I can kill somebody as easily as you can if the situation deems it necessary. Christ, I am not dying or killing for a righ bastard.
