Family Disputes U.S. Raid on Iraqi House
The Associated Press


BAGHDAD, Iraq —

American troops killed eight people _ four of them women _ after taking heavy fire during a raid Wednesday on a suspected terrorist's house northeast of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. But relatives of the dead disputed the U.S. account, saying their family had nothing to do with any terrorist group.

...

Outside the pockmarked house, which relatives said belonged to Mohammed Jassim, bullet casings littered the ground and blood stained the sand. Family members cried and consoled one another as the bodies of the women were taken away.

"This is an ugly criminal act by the U.S. soldiers against Iraqi citizens," Manal Jassim, who lost her parents and other relatives in the attack, told Associated Press Television News.

Iraq's major Sunni clerical organization, the Association of Muslim Scholars, condemned the raid as a "terrorist massacre."

1. Massacre by the good guys in white hats is not the same as a terrorist

massacre, because those killed and maimed by the good guys are not really dead or maimed and even if they are, the good guys don't intentionally kill and maim the innocent as do the terrorists who wear the black hats.

2. Huh?

Since your one long sentence trying to tie together several thoughts was hard to follow, I'm going concentrate on this little gem: "good guys don't intentionally kill and maim the innocent as do the terrorists who wear the black hats".

Tell that to the 14 year old Iraqi girl who U.S. troops raped and murdered along with her family to cover up the crime.


Unless your post was sarcasm, then never mind.

3. Plus they want to kill Matt Lauer's whole family

Never forget why we're over there.

5. It is chilling how brutal acts by the guys in black hats are portrayed by

RW talking heads/media while the heinous terroristic carnage inflicted by the guys in white hats for several years running is virtually ignored, just as it isn't happening.
