When George Bush was thinking NCLB, I wonder if this is what he had in mind?


BAGHDAD - A U.S. attack killed 19 insurgents and 15 civilians, including nine children, northwest of the capital Thursday — one of the heaviest civilian death tolls in an American operation in recent months. The military said it was targeting senior leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq…

“After securing the area, the ground force assessed 15 terrorists, six women and nine children were killed,” the statement said. Two suspected al-Qaida members, a woman and three children were wounded, according to the military account.

The military said its troopers “were reviewing information from the scene (of Thursday’s attack) as well as assessing the level of damage involved.”

The statement also issued regret “that civilians are hurt or killed while Coalition forces search to rid Iraq of terrorism.”
This isn’t war. This isn’t occupation. This isn’t rooting out terr’ists. This is flat out indiscriminate goddamn killing. This is evil incarnate. There isn’t anything “targeted” or “surgical” about it.

...A war crimes trial is too lenient for the pack of neocon sewer rats that ginned up this oily little adventure.

Anything else that I could say at this moment would probably garner me a visit from men in white coats (or dark suits and sunglasses).
