Lest we forget, here are pictures of the aftermath of Fallujah by Dahr Jamail.

Soccerdad of The Left Coaster fills us in on the horrors of Fallujah. For example, here's a quote from a Lebanese cameran:

The military called over loudspeakers for families to surrender and come out of their houses, but Burhan said everyone was too afraid to leave their homes. So soldiers began blasting open the gates to houses and conducting searches.
“Americans did not have interpreters with them, so they entered houses and killed people because they didn’t speak English! They entered the house where I was with 26 people and shot people because they didn’t obey their orders, even just because the people couldn’t understand a word of English. Ninety-five percent of the people killed in the houses that I saw were killed because they couldn’t speak English.”
His eyes were tearing up, so he lit another cigarette and continued talking.
“Soldiers thought the people were rejecting their orders, so they shot them. But the people just couldn’t understand them!”
“I saw cluster bombs everywhere, and so many bodies that were burned, dead with no bullets in them. So they definitely used fire weapons, especially in Julan District. I watched American snipers shoot civilians so many times. I saw an American sniper in a minaret of a mosque shooting everyone that moved.”


As we read this let us call to mind the wondrous deeds of St George W. Bush, the Prince of Life, champion of the pro-life cause, defender of the tortured.
