WHO IS KIDDING WHOM? Re: And on Sunday, Reuters cameraman Mazen Dana, a Palestinian, was shot dead by soldiers who mistook his camera for a weapon. Let's all quite lying to each other. Predatory sadists in the U.S. Military are targeting journalists. This is no different from what is happening to journalists on the West Bank being perforated by IDF forces. Get real. Mercenaries are murdering journalists who dare to tell the truth.

They are uneducated, dirty, overwhelmed, shocked and awed, but they are not stupid.

thanks for posting xcr. It is a sad thing - no doubt about that. We are not good in the role of occupiers. I think that if there had been real WMD there - not traces from the past, but lots of real weapons now - most people may have supported surgical strikes, and special ops - maybe for a few days to a week - to take them out - then massive civilian aid to the country. I don't think people will continue to support our occupying a country where we are not wanted. Would people in the US like it if a foreign power occupied us? We are wasting a minimum of $ 4 billion a month on this fiasco. Wondering when people will get enough of it. $ 4 billion would go a long way toward major improvements in our electric grid - not fixing all of it - but putting in many more safeguards, maybe a few more plants, etc. Heck, in Detroit, when power went down - so did the water supply. For Homeland Security, why not put in alternative energy sources to make sure the water is powered everywhere at least? Solar, wind, fuel cells, as a backup to the grid. We could do a lot of good with that money (being spent in Iraq now.)
