1. Contact your local media outlet

2. so when will the military spokesperson
start issuing denials and getting the lie of the moment ready?

from your link

"American planes started bombing the al-Shakia district, in southern Kut after 3am (0900 AEST)," said Kut hospital director, Khader Fadal Arar.

"They destroyed 18 houses and killed 56 people and injured more than 110, some of them very seriously," he said.

Many of the dead and wounded were women and children, Arar added.


:cry:

this was all so unnecessary and I just hate all of it.
