26870 [lbo-talk] after that great victory in Samarra -- rank: 1000
Financial Times - December 8, 2003 Shoot-out leaves control of town in doubt By Charles Clover in Samarra A week after a vicious firefight in the streets of Samarra, in which US forces claim to have killed 54 guerrilla fighters, it was unclear yesterday who really controlled the town. At the one remaining US military compound in the city, US soldiers yesterday refused to leave their sand-bagged bunkers to meet a western visitor at the gate. "It's dangerous here! Go away!" yelled one. T ...

26873 [lbo-talk] U.S. killed 9 kids, target had left town 10 days earlier -- rank: 1000
US child bombing account challenged Local villagers in Afghanistan have contradicted US reports that the target of an air strike that killed nine children also died in the raid. The attack was carried out on Saturday in the village of Hutala, in a remote area of southern Ghazni province. US officials said they were acting on extensive intelligence and had killed a former Taleban militant, Mullah Wazir. But local Afghans told the BBC's Crispin Thorold the intended target had left the village 10 d ...

I don't think there were many dissenters from the view that the war on Iraq was an instance of U.S. imperialism. Doug

Call me over-sensitive, but there's something creepy about the phrase "Israel disease." The U.S. has shown no reticence about brutality - why nominate it as a particularly Israeli affliction? Doug
