The Untold Story
Published on June 20, 2005 By Bahu Virupaksha In Politics
All over the world people are reading alarming news coming out of Karbala, Iraq. Three days age, the Anglo-American Forces launched a combined attack on Karbala. TThe British, who unlike the Americans are somewhat sensitive to world public opinion,for the first time decided to use their air force against the civillian piopulation of Karbala. The US ariforce has trained bombs and cluster boms at civillian target in Falujjah and other places including Bagdad, but this is the first time since the War began that the Royal Air Force is being deployed. This at a time when even Republicans like Biden have started speaking out against the War. In fact the ratings of Bush has dropped below 40% and there is no letup.

The combined troops are conducting door to door searches and the civillian loss of life is horrendous. Dodies are left rotting on the streets and no Iraqi male from6 to60 feels safe from the AngloAmerican troops who have been authorises to use extreme force in the search and destroy operations. The loss of the lives of children is particularly sad and the Iraqis are bracinfg themselves for the worst. This city has a substantial number of Baa'th Party loyalists and the struggle is deadly.

The Iraqi War has already been lost and it is time for the Americans to come home. Mission Accomplished, in deed.

I'm sorry, but this is an outright LIE and utter BS! The US military has NEVER targeted civilians! Now retract your ignorant statement!

When you say "Targetting civillians" you also must take into consideration the civillian casualities from the bombs dropped. The intention may be to kill the militants but in the process the carnage unleashed on civillian life is lgreat. Believe me the population of both Fallujah and Karbala are counting their dead in the hundreds. Many are only living in these cities. The US cannot decided thtat Zarqawi in hiding and destror the city. You dont burn the grannary down to get rid of a few pests.

I notice there is no all-caps "Terrorist blows up 20 Iraqi policemen" blog from you today, Bahu. I think you don't care much about Iraqi civilians, unless they are being killed by US soldiers. As long as it is Arabs killing Iraqis you don't seem to mind.

No, you VERY specifically said "targeted" civilians! And we do not nor have we EVER "targeted" civilians. So what you wrote is pure, unadulterated CRAP!

Recipe for inflammatory blog.
1 part facts
2 parts half-truths
2 parts rhetoric

Twist facts, mix in other parts and blend until the proper consistency. Serve with a heaping amount of absurd allegation.

Not sure where you get this. Of course you can burn down the granery, if it isn't YOUR granery. Where does this silly idea that civilians don't die in war come from? If terrorists use a granery, an orphanage, or a mosque as a bunker, then THEY have brought the war to somewhere it shouldn't be.

It's sad, but there are places in Iraq where Iraqis work with security forces, and there is no necessity to bomb. There are other places where the residents make it too dangerous for US troops to function. Sadly, the only way to deal with such is from a distance.

So, if people don't want to face bombs, they should make their neighborhoods safe for policemen and security forces. They are making bunkers out of their homes, so they shouldn't be surprised when they become targets.


Regardless, insurgents and ex-baathists kill many,many more Iraqis than American soldiers, but that seems to be okay with Bahu. This isn't really about civilians, it's just a way to vent irrational hatred for the US.

I knew this kind of criticism is coming. I think Baker Street, you are ignoring the political context in which these Arab on Arab violence is taking place. It is highly deplorable and bad. But remember that a titanic struggle, a Resistance, if you will, is going on in Iraq. The political strategy is to deny the Americans the luxury of using Irais to fight their battle in Iraq. In other worlds the Resistance is targetting tow kinds of targets only:Military /police recruits and those perceived as Collaborators. Many in this Resistance have faced bravely the thugs Saddam Hussain threw at them. This violence will cease the ay the Occupation ends.

Just like it ceased in Afghanistan? hardly. Iraq would be a bloodbath, and either split into partisan territories, some of which would be easily as bad as Afghanistan under the Taliban.

You terrorism apologist stuff is pretty transparent. You don't see car bombers as terrorists, evidently, rather you see them as "Resistance".

Pretty sad, and a good example of how opposition to the war always ends up admitting too much and negating their high moral ground. If you really think it is so deplorable, you would spend more time condemning it, I think. Instead, you espouse the idea that we should abandon Iraq to the very people who want to divide it amongst warring factions and control those parts they can.
