Nine coalition troops killed in Iraq

[BBond]

I realize the Bushies are more interested in real news, like Michael Jackson or the runaway bride. But there are events occuring in Iraq that demand our attention. No matter how George Bush tries to hide the results of his lies.

I've been accused of celebrating the deaths of coalition troops in Iraq. Nothing could be further from the truth. I post the news from Iraq in hopes that someday the people who enable Bush to continue on his disastrous course -- HIS SUPPORTERS -- will WTFU.

And I won't stop until you do.

It's been a very bloody Saturday in Bushworld.

And all for a pack of goddam lies.

Nine coalition troops killed in Iraq

BAGHDAD | June 18, 2005 7:11:26 PM IST

Nine troops from the U.S.-led multinational forces were killed Saturday in a mortar attack in the troubled city of Fallujah west of the capital.

Coalition officials said in a statement that six soldiers also were injured in the attack in Fallujah, 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Baghdad, but did not identify the nationalities of the casualties.

Meanwhile, Iraqi police officials said three mortar rounds fell near the Babel Hotel in the center of the capital where American military and civilian elements reside, as well as Iraqi officials.

They did not report any casualties in the attack.

The police also said that overnight fighting and early Saturday killed ten people, including a woman, and around 12 were injured in separate armed attacks and car bombings in different parts of the country.

The casualties included Iraqi civilians, troops and policemen.

The interior and defense ministries said their forces have arrested suspected terrorists in the past two days, seized large amounts of weapons and defused bombs as part of Operation Lightning launched two weeks ago.

Suicide car bomb kills 14 Iraqi soldiers

Indo-Asian News Service

Fallujah (Iraq), June 18, 2005

A suicide car bomb attack in Iraq on Saturday killed 14 soldiers and injured eight others, Xinhua reported.

Quoting witnesses, the agency said the attack had been apparently targeted at an Iraqi army patrol near the Iraqi Islamic Party headquarters in Fallujah, west of Baghdad.

The explosive-laden vehicle was driven on Friday into a crowd of Iraqi soldiers near the headquarters of the Iraqi Islamic Party where a meeting, attended by Iraqi and US officers, was being held.

A pretty awful day over there.

It's going to be a hot summer for the participants in bush's war.

And all for a pack of goddam lies.

didn't know that bringing freedom and democracy and there by destroying terrorism was a "pack of lies";

even if WMDs was what got us into this, much like preserving the union was what started the civil war, spreading freedom in the middle east is now our charge, much as freeing the slaves became the north's charge.

They also are interested in villifying innocent people such as Michael Shiavo. The Bush Administration: "All diversion - all the time."
Yeah the insurgents are handing the U.S. its ass once again, just like Vietnam.

Try not to let your joy over this news of our troup?s death shine through to much there.

, why don't you practice a bit of what you preach from that bible and stop supporting the murder of our young men and women for bush's lies?

What are the lies they are dieing for?

Now you're comparing Bush's illegal, immoral, unprovoked invasion of Iraq WITH SLAVERY IN THE USA???

no, I?m comparing the spread of freedom in the US by means of US federal intervention with the spread of freedom in the middle east by means of US federal intervention.

"Freedom is the distance between corporate influence and the state."

by that logic communist Russia was one of the freest places ever, no?

 

[Steeplerot]

do you want to talk about how I actually feel about that or did you have to just get your jollies by saying communist.
Is this the christlike figure you wish to portray on earth? Becasue that is what bush is making you all out to be.

I think corporate influence in the American political system is a danger. I?d love to hear what independent conclusions you've formed.

I also have faith that there was a completely non violent way to overcome slavery in the south, the Germans both times, and spread freedom in the middle east.

But this isn't a theocratic country, so we can't go about sending thousands of missionaries to die at the hands of the hateful but rather are required to send young boys with guns to do a much more ineffectual job.

We should love our enemies, Christ said, but in that he recognized that we do have enemies.

 

[Steeplerot]

In a nutshell: I have no problem with the free market, nonetheless I do believe the free market like anything else in life allowed to be used to excess creates negative circumstances for all peoples to carry on with the pursuit of happiness.

Look, I have made a few new friends here in new jersey, some that are christian and I have pointed out a few of your posts on the war, they agree that supporting of the iraq war is very unchristlike and jesus would never condone such a thing.

What you speak of is holy war, and bringing of the rapture, this is not up to you to judge, it is up to your god, bush is no prophet and has no right to speak for god, that is blapheme and worshipping of a false idol letting him tell you to kill regardless of christs teachings. -very good points.

Next time you pray LMK ask your god, in your heart if you should kill, if jesus wishes this on his children.

(I edited out the angry part I posted earlier as it was pointless to cast stones further.)

So, as a supporter of this war, you are showing your joy in the deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqis each time you post? Yes, that IS a Slippery Slope. :disgust:

was i being unfair? do you not like to see bush fail, and isn't every American death at the hands of insurgents a loss for the bush admin?

What you speak of is holy war, and bringing of the rapture, this is not up to you to judge, it is up to your god.

Jesus will return on his own clock, I doubt that anything we do will hasten or slow his return. I think that the arrogance of thinking that Jesus can be manipulated by our actions is what brought about the original betrayal of Christ. So no, I?m not for a holy war to bring about the end-times, and I?d be against anyone who said that was there goal. My idea of how democracy in the middle east would have most optimally been achieved wouldn?t be Holy warriors fighting for democratic freedom with guns but with words. Sounds ridiculous eh? I think it?d work. But as I said: we aren?t theocratic, nor should we be, and as such we are left with boys with guns to try and bring about the changes that the world needs. We can honestly argue about weather the changed is needed so badly that we should pay to have our people kill others.

(I edited out the angry part I posted earlier as it was pointless to cast stones further.)

it?s cool, I can see why you?d be impassioned in this regard; I sure hope that I?m not healed to account for all the angry things I?ve said in regard to abortion*let's not go off on that tangent :-x*

Supporting of the iraq war is very unchristlike and jesus would never condone such a thing.

Is this a matter of perspective, I believe that many are being helped and they do not, or is it a matter of simply disagreeing with all war in all situations?

The former we can have an honest disagreement, as I think more would have died and been much worse off overall had Sadam stayed in power, for the latter I can?t disagree.

Just goes to show that people will justify anything.

Wow. All the billions of dollars poured in each day and they are losing to a 3rd world country.
