Four more years of shit like this?

As if the Iraqi people don't hate us enough as it is, now our esteemed allies are flattening hospitals on the basis that militants loyal to top al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are hiding there.

All I can see happening is more reprisals. We need to vote Tony out of office, if only so that we have no part in this.

I'm so angry just now.

I saw this too, but at the moment I think I'm suffering from outrage fatigue.

Fuck this bullshit. How can a hospital ever be an acceptable target? Those poor Iraqis.

But we can't let those bastards grind us down...

It's not but since their not fighting soldiers but insurgents it give them the excuse to use any ammount of force and it looks like they're resorting to a scorched earth policy. I'm still really angry.

And just to clarify, I believe the there where the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi followers are hiding out is the city in general, not in the hospital.

The air strikes reduced the Nazzal hospital, run by a Saudi Arabian Islamic charity, to rubble.
Great. It is, sorry was, not only a hospital, but a hospital run by a charity from another nation. Good job, soldiers!

In a letter to the leaders of the US, UK and Iraq, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan warned that the use of force risked alienating Iraqis when their support for elections was vital.

But Mr Allawi called the letter "confused".

He said if Mr Annan thought he could prevent insurgents in Falluja from "inflicting damage and killing", he was welcome to try.


Well, maybe if there wasn't a bunch of Americans running around with guns, the insurgents would be shooting at people. But hey, we'll just bomb all those alienated Iraqis, so who cares?

I'm getting really tired of this war.

And the 60-day period of martial law ought to get us right to the Iraqi elections. Try campaigning under *that*, Death To Dirty Kuffars Party!

I'm irritated that the media over here in the US won't even call it "martial law"; they call it "emergency rule." I said to my partner last night--"Emergency rule? That's like what the nuns did in school, right? Well, then, that's not so bad . . . "

And of course there's all the predictable shock in the newspapers that our soldiers are getting killed. Don't get me wrong, it's terribly sad, and I can't begin to imagine how their families must be feeling, but the way the papers are putting it makes it sound like the "insurgents" just aren't playing fair, killing "our boys" like that.
WE. ARE. AT. WAR. WITH. THEM.
WE. TWATTED. THEIR. HOSPITAL.
WE. ARE. FIGHTING. THEM.
Of COURSE they're gonna shoot our troops, fuckstick!!!
