100 Iraqi Shia tortured and beheaded south of Baghdad
Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 09:01 PM by ECH1969
A new catastrophic tragedy against the Shiites has been reported. One hundred decapitated bodies, children, women and men had been taken to Kerbala from south Baghdad.

The arrival of the beheaded bodies provoked a storm of anger and cry among the people there. The children headless-bodies were bloodstained all over.

Most of the bodies were hand-cuffed to the back.

The bodies were discovered and brought by the people and relatives. There was no action taken by the government.

3. Dear God...
this is just senseless. Will the whole of our kind ever learn to exist without barbarity?

12. You refer of course to the invading armies. Those are our boys
bud, not some stinking cancer. Watch it.

However I do agree on the point of getting them the hell out of there.

13. I believe the poster was referring to ...
the barbarity humans are capable of perpetrating on other humans.

34. You mean you expect our troops to get rid of Bush*
If that is not what you mean then I suspect you have not been paying attention.

7. If true, this is awful.
Men, women and children, tortured and beheaded. The Sunnis must be suicidal.

If they were hoping for any sort of support from the US/UK this kind of slaughter will cancel any help they could use from being wiped out by US/UK, Kurds, Shi'ites &/or Iranians. The Shi'ites have been holding back in a major way but it seems that it won't be long until they go all out against the Sunnis.

11. Let's use the Reagan Test...
Are the people in Iraq better off now than they were four years ago?

At least what Saddam was doing had nothing to do with you or me. Now what is happening in Iraq is every taxpayer in America's baby. The murder and torture, in our name, is nobody's fault but the neocons and the idiots who support them. I support our troops, but I have never supported their mission in Iraq. NEVER!

10. That blood is on George Bush's hands
I wouldn't blame him any less if he'd cut personally cut off the heads of those poor unfortunate human beings. Where is any protection for those people. Where is the outcry from Republicans who just seem to twist the stories to say look how bad these terrorists are? If the Shiites could flee from Iraq where would they go? Where would they end up as homeless refugees? Certainly not in America. I believe we have immigration laws that prohibit them from coming into the country? How utterly tragic. I could weep but first I'd bang my head against the wall, for all the frustraion I feel. Bush wanted into that country come hell or highwater. He never cared about the intel or if So damn Insane was a brutal dictaor he just wanted in to clean up on the oil and provide Halliburton jobs for all his and Dick's buddies. I feel sick. How do they sleep at night?

Edit...Nothing...

Propagandists and Counter Propagandists at work on the "internets!" I expect shit to get so crazy on the WWW that nobody believes anything on it. Maybe that is the DoD's new game plan.

All but the simplest of lies are full of contradictions and improbabilities.

Just asking...

Edit...I just farted, so you'd better duck and cover.

BTW, I don't click on every link someone posts, for fear of my puter catching the hong kong dong or worse.

18. This story and the site don't pass the smell test.
Edited on Sun Mar-05-06 10:02 PM by Minstrel Boy
The content and the links suggest disinfo to paint a picture of inevitable civil war and that Sunnis and Shiites have irreconcilable differences. There are dark actors who want you to think that.

The links are Bush friendly. (Fox News? The Washington Times? MEMRI? The US Embassy?) No anti-occupation blogs like Riverbend. And when I click on the "Mover Mike" link the first thing I see is a Jan 2 entry that says "399 days ago, John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records. He has yet to do so."

had to read all the way down the post to find voices of reason. I swear the immediate, unquestioning imbibing of so much crap by so many is scarier than anything else. Especially with all the lessons of the past.

33. How do they sleep? Ambien. "a wonderful medication"
From 9/11 hyper-activist Carol Brouillet's blog:

http://www.communitycurrency.org/9-11.html#UP

Washington Post 11/10/03 p. A23.

" Powell's Chemical Equation

"Powell described his killer schedule in an interview Thursday with Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, a reporter for a London-based Saudi newspaper.

""So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?" Al-Rashed asked.

""Yes. Well, I wouldn't call them that," Powell said. "They're a wonderful medication -- not medication. How would you call it? They're called Ambien, which is very good. You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien.""

( Al Kamen adds "Really? Some folks across the river may conclude that explains a lot.")

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A19844-2003Nov9¬Found=true

Here's a page that provides some info on Ambien:

http://www.drugrehabamerica.net/FAQ-ambien.htm

Its addictive potential is high. It may cause amnesia, some people find it changes their thinking or behavior, it can cause difficulty in concentrating and emotional instability, exaggerated sense of well-being, falling, and speech difficulties.
