Talk about the "Human rights" protector of the world

Dumb a.s.s. question. The US Military is not trying to bomb innocents as you allude to in your misinformed question. The US Military is going after insurgents and if they are hiding in with civilians then there will be civilian deaths, which is very sad.
The only way to stop the civilian deaths is for us to get out, but, guess what?
Even when the US and allies leave Iraq, civilian deaths will continue. They did under Saddam, or have you forgotten the 2 million deaths Saddam was responsible for under the 20 plus years of his rule? UN and Human Rights organizations peg the total amount killed under Saddam to be in the area of 2 million plus deaths which includes his wars with Iran and Kuwait. Why do you ignore those deaths? Are you only taking sides against the US?

The enemy of today is not the the enemy of WW2. In any war civilians get killed and bombs dint all ways drop where you would like them too. IF the enemy is hiding behind the civilians then the U.S Armed forces have to do the job we pay them for.

Well let's see, where did you get your information from...a radical, leftist website.
You are completely delusional in thinking that the US bombs civilians to cover anything up. We've got more than enough "Civilian" terrorists to take down. Are you considering that they are civilians, too? Besides, if it means a civilian goes down instead if a rotten terrorist, good. Man, Jeffy boy, get a better source for news, not that pap you're trying to dish out here!!!!

It is the enemy radicals and terrorists who deliberately place civilians in harm's way by hiding among them and disguising themselves as civilians. US troops are in uniform and do not launch attacks from a location packed with civilians. But when the situation is life or death, the soldier's duty is to protect himself and his buddies.
Having said this, I must acknowledge that in war time, terrible and regrettable things are done.

We have no policy of bombing civilians, we go out of our way to avoid doing so, unfortunately the biggest number of casualties, are the innocent bystander. Some soldiers are doing this on their own. They are guilty of murder, also unfortunately, the insurgents use civilians as human shields.

If you're talking about Iraq, the bombing itself is completely immoral. As in all modern wars, the explosives do not differentiate between the so-called "enemy" and innocent men, women and children.

Buzzflash.com is hardly credible
and besides...IF we wanted to kill innocent civilians, we wouldn't be fighting a ground war at all. We would nuke the entire area.

Very one sided report.
You need to tell your friends to stop running and hiding behind a woman`s skirts after they fire on US troops.
