CNN just showed Iraqi Civilians wounded by US Marines

during Operation Iron Fist in Karbala. I am just shocked they showed them. It was a baby who was severely wounded and a man on the ground who actually looked dead. There were several civilians wounded and crying as well. :(

Here is a link to the online story...

U.S. Marines and soldiers faced sporadic small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades as they entered Karabila on Sunday, part of the military's latest operation in Anbar province.

About 1,000 forces are trying to root out insurgents and enemy fighters in an area near the Syrian border, the military said.

Marine aircraft dropped 500-pound bombs and fired Hellfire missiles and 30 mm rounds at suspected insurgent positions.

Separately, seven civilians were wounded by a tank round.

3. I was pretty shocked

they have a CNN reporter embedded with them and she interviewed the Marine commander. I can't help but think they are getting pretty sick of killing women and children by now.
