From the Article: It is particularly greusome to me as a father that people can be so personal as to put a handgun to a woman clutching her child or a child's head and squeeze the trigger. Link to CNN Article

It's a long article that is unfortunately not on line but that it was published today in the Milan's daily Il Giornale in the 6th page. Gianni Baget Bozzo, priest and adviser of the Italian Prime Minister, speaks about the Frog President and his position on Iraq. It's a long article and i've...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6125357/ Don't know if I agree with that. Being an atheist, I don't like to see any large regression back to fundamentalism. I would never rule against anyone's right to practice their own religion if it complies with just laws, but Iraq is just sliding headlong...

This was a popular line prior to the invasion. It was a counter to the "invasion will cosyt too much" argument. No one ever seems to comment how it was a bunch of bullflop! BULLFLOP I SAY!!! Why isnt the Kerry camp using this?? Why cant we use Iraq oil money? Is it not being pummped?? Is it...

We don't get to see the actual torture, just the devices used. Oddly enough, while I can find news articles about this, not many of them come with pictures. I wonder why?

Could be trouble brewing... There will be if these allegations are true. Paul Mcgeogh is a highly respected journalist here, not given to flights of fancy, so the story is being taken seriously by the Australian media. Iraqi PM shot inmates, says witnesses There are allegations that the...

The Link Great idea! Not only thwarting Zarqawi's plans for more attacks to take away from the handover....but also gaining NATO involvement in helping Iraqi security forces to handle the future challenges to Iraqi democracy. Smart, smart, smart. -z

In Sundays Dallas Morning News, there was an article about the 1st Cavalry stationed at Fort Hood, here in Texas. There is also a photo of one of the soldiers displaying a tattoo on his lower calf. The tattoo shows an map outline of Iraq with the stars and stripes filling in. Above and below...

from: Iraqis Say Council-Approved National Flag Won't Fly - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 Not only do Arabs hate jews, they hate THE COLORS jews use as well. I am not joking.

I dont have a link but I saw this story about US forces locking down a disruptive newspaper that the US accused of printing lies and general rabble rousing. The result of course was anger and protest by Iraqis. So what do you think. On one hand you have troop saftey on the other hand teh...

Now I may have been in a drunken haze at the time but I sort of remember that before the war we were told that the cost of the whole thing would be recouped thru Iraqi Oil profits................Then we were asked to pony up a gazzillion dollars for Iraq. I was wondering. Do we still have plans...

The Bush administration is finally making some important progress in putting down the insurgency in Iraq: 1. US forces are talking tough. That should really deter these jackals. For example, one commander, Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno, said yesterday: "The perception out there right now is that we...

Kidnappers prosper in Baghdad Iraq is turning into a middle east version of the wild west, only now instead of Colt 44's, the gunslingers carry RPG's and AK-47's. The fight isn't between cattlemen and sheepherders, it's between criminal gangs and families. The options? Pull out and let Iraq...
