Our troops are terrorizing the Iraqi citizenry
The author of this blog would love this post. As you can read our troops are at it again terrorizing the Iraqi citizenry. In response to Senator Kerry and see this. Seawitch also posts about it.

One Man's 'Terrorizing'
Earlier this month, as we noted, John Kerry *
accused U.S. servicemen of "going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead
of night, terrorizing kids and children." We guess this report from CNN
is an example of what he means:
When troops from the Georgia National Guard raided a Baghdad home in early December, they had no idea that their mission in Iraq would take a different turn.
As the young parents of an infant girl nervously watched the soldiers search their modest home, the baby's unflinching grandmother thrust the little girl at the Americans, showing them the purple pouch protruding from her back.
Little Noor, barely three months old, was born with spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal column fails to completely close. Iraqi doctors had told her parents she would live only 45 days.
But she was tenaciously clinging to life, and the soldiers in the home--many of them fathers themselves--were moved.
"Well, I saw this child as the firstborn child of the young mother and father and really, all I could think of was my five children back at home and my young daughter," Lt. Jeff Morgan told CNN from Baghdad. . . . So Morgan and his fellow soldiers began working to get Noor the help she needs.
Doctors at a U.S. military base examined Noor. Georgia's Sen. Saxby Chambliss worked to speed the visa process, and an Atlanta physician, Roger Hudgins, has promised to operate free. Lifeover Ministries reports that the girl they call "Baby Nora" and her grandmother "have airline reservations to arrive in the US." The link includes information on where to send donations to help with medical and personal expenses. Act by Saturday and you can claim a deduction on this year's taxes.
Maybe
John Kerry could write a check as a small gesture of apology to the
American servicemen he has slandered over the past 35 years. (This is possible given the Senator's proclivity for flip-flopping -EB)
* The haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way claimed that U.S. servicemen "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned on the power, cut off limbs, [blew] up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside" in Vietnam.

John Kerry and John Murtha...2 American war heroes. I think these guys must have been part of some Pentagon secret project that has permanently affected their thinking. Instead of making soldiers out of them...it turned them both into a pair of pansies.

Yeah I think Dr Pino's (aka Lover of Angels)days are numbered. His religious philosophy is bankrupt, Amerikka (as he likes to spell it) has and will reject his brand of Islam. It may be time to renew the suicide watch we posted on him.

I wonder if that birth defect was another DU casualty?

As far as DU goes...ever rode on an airplane? Hey Woody (dugg) spina bifida is a terrible birth defect...connecting it to DU is going to be real difficult considering it's used as a shield agains radiation and the WHO has determined that the risk if minimal.
You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning.

Do you still fly on airplanes and do you take your children to dentists too?
Hey look Dugg no one is sorrier than I when people suffer but DU has less radioactivity than the natural background radiation that you get from the sun dude.
DU is used for its very high density of 19.1 g/cm3. Civilian uses include counterweights in aircraft, radiation shielding in medical radiation therapy and industrial radiography equipment, and containers used to transport radioactive materials. Military uses include defensive armor plate and armor-piercing projectiles.
Hey with your logic you should be going after x-ray technicians too man.
bwahahahahahaha!

Many studies have concluded that DU ammunition has no measurable detrimental health effects, either in the short or long term. The International Atomic Energy Agency, for example, reported in 2003 that, "based on credible scientific evidence, there is no proven link between DU exposure and increases in human cancers or other significant health or environmental impacts," although "Like other heavy metals, DU is potentially poisonous. In sufficient amounts, if DU is ingested or inhaled it can be harmful because of its chemical toxicity. High concentration could cause kidney damage". RAND has also studied the health effects on Depleted Uranium and has concluded that the debate around the issue is more political than technical. The study commented that “the full and unbiased presentation of the facts to governments around the world has resulted in the continued use of DU — even in the face of concerted actions by some to distort the facts and media often more interested in shock value than in presenting the truth”. The IAEA concluded that while depleted uranium is a potential carcinogen, there is no evidence that either natural uranium or DU is carcinogenic, and other studies have concluded that "the present scientific consensus is that DU exposure to humans, in locations where DU ammunition was deployed, is very unlikely to give rise to cancer induction". Pier Roberto Danesi, then-director of the IAEA Seibersdorf Laboratory, stated in 2002 that "There is a consensus now that DU does not represent a health threat". Former NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson has stated that "the existing medical consensus is clear. The hazard from depleted uranium is both very limited, and limited to very specific circumstances". A 1999 study conducted by the Rand Corporation stated: “No evidence is documented in the literature of cancer or any other negative health effect related to the radiation received from exposure to depleted or natural uranium, whether inhaled or ingested, even at very high doses”, and another RAND report considered the debate to be more political than scientific.
