Children, dead or so badly injured they may as well have been, the doctors were trying their best to help the injured, but they didn't have enough medicine and some of them were trying to control the crowds who were desperate to get help.
There was one little boy who I will never forget, his name was ALI. His pregnant mom, dad and his siblings had all been blown to bits in their apartment. SHOCK AND AWE!
He survived, but had lost his arms and his stomach was ripped apart airc. He was in intense pain, they had bandaged him but did not have medicine for the pain.
He was crying for his mom. He had only one relative left, his aunt, who was there.
The coverage showed what looked like scenes from HELL and I admit, I hated those who were responsible, all of them.
That was the last time the MSM covered the war. No doubt they got the call from the WH.
I always wanted to know what happened to ALI. I read that because of that coverage, he was able to leave Iraq for treatment in another country.
Today he is a man, with no arms, and his legs were badly injured also, and no family.
Just ONE of the tens of thousands of horror stories from Shock And Awe's first 'glorious night'.
