Working on an image update…
The US “death toll” (which doesn't count the over 10,000 US casualties) just crossed the 500 line (more) as insurgency continues to grow. Both the US and now the UN as well have told the Iraqis they will not be able to have their elections (more), which is enraging the Shiites (more) who were expecting to finally come to power… and promise escalated violence if they are denied the vote (more).
A number of “patriotic” videos have been doing the rounds of the right-wing websites that dominate American ideology these days. The two videos below are being presented along side racist commentary, jokes, and cheering as to the effectiveness of the weaponry.
Watch Iraqis be killed from the deck of an Apache helicopter. It is believed they might be carrying an unidentified weapon of some sort. “They might have wanted to kill Americans if those were weapons they had (so what if they didn't).” |

Watch US troops repeatedly shoot a wounded Iraqi. One US soldier describes what it's like killing an Arab: “It was a good feeling. Afterwards, you're like, Hell, yeah, that was AWESOME! Let's do it again!“ |
Oh, and the US continues to hold “detainees” (not
prisoners of war since under the laws of war their treatment is a treaty violation) that are as young as 13 years old at Guantanamo (
more). It all just makes you so proud what we humans have accomplished in the past 6,000 years, doesn't it?
