BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. air strikes in a Shi'ite stronghold of Baghdad on Sunday killed at least two toddlers, Reuters television footage showed.
Police said a total of 13 people were killed in the strikes and more than 50 were wounded.
In the morgue of Imam Ali hospital in the district of Sadr city the bodies of two toddlers, one wearing a nappy, lay on blankets while doctors tended to wounded men and boys, the video footage showed.
In the house where one of the toddlers lived, a man who said he was a cousin, pointed to bloodstained mattresses and blood-splattered pillows, choking back tears as he held up a photo showing one of the dead children.
"We were waking in the morning and all of a sudden rockets landed in the house and the children were screaming," said a woman outside the house.
The U.S. military confirmed it had conducted early morning operations in Sadr city "targeting criminals believed to be responsible for the kidnapping of coalition soldiers in November 2006 and May 2007".

The Hardcore They Come, classic album. As for the military-industrial complex, it's a modern day reality when you're the superpower of the world. The dangerous thing is if this country gets in real trouble by some disaster (whether it be by environment, terrorist or disease), the potential for the country to become a military state exists. It would have to be drastic obviously, but the potential is there since the military giant sits in bed with government. But let's be reasonable; what great superpower in world history HASN'T been overly reliant on its military?

So, you're in jail. And you need someone to defend you. And you get the chance between George W. Bush (the retard, the asshole who wouldn't die) and your Cousin Vinny.
I say, let Mr. George W. (the "retard") defend you.
Why? Because he's a fucking retard. And there's a lot of retards in this world. So, you might "get out there" and masturbate in front of the world and be original and vomit and all that.

See the story TIME lied about about our brave soldiers in Haditha.
Just in case....In March 2006, Time magazine broke the story, which erupted in the press. The accounts relied on a narrative that the Marines had gone berserk after the killing of Cpl. Terrazas and murdered Iraqis in retaliation. "Eyewitnesses" reported that the riders in the car had been lined up and executed, and that there had been a rampage through the houses targeting women and children. A coverup by the top brass was also asserted.
..and NONE of it is true. Keep reading TIME and watching CNN for "the truth"

Perhaps Keith Olbermann will get to the truth of the matter since he's allegedly a solid investigative journo...

Not gonna happen! Remember early 2006 when we heard about the need for checks & balances? That need hasn't disappeared. Also, Gov. Spitzer in NY is not helping the Dims. He wants to give illegals licenses. Even his own party is pissed at him & has voted to overrule his plan. You idiots always go 2 far.
