Najaf: US 'killing fields'

[keithyboy]

How sickening. The American people will not get the news about what is happening there...nor do most of them really care.

Occupation forces in Iraq have used F16 fighter planes to bomb the Nizal neighbourhood in Falluja, Aljazeera TV's correspondent has reported.

He also said the occupation on Tuesday pushed several tanks through the only open gateway used as an exit for Iraqi families in an apparent violation of the latest ceasefire in Falluja.

"The invading forces were met with fierce resistance by the Falluja defenders which forced the US tanks into a quick withdrawal," correspondent Abd Al-Adhim Muhammad reported.

"Five were killed and several others injured in the battles between the resistance fighters and the occupation troops."

The US fighter planes dropped stun bombs to cover their troops withdrawal, he added.

2. Sadly far too many don't care and even regard it as our birthright:

to them the "killing fields" have the Deity's stamp of approval because GWB loves Jesus and is doing God's work. Oh my God, wish I had not said that there it is.
