US Solders Posting Pictures of Iraqis killed to access porn

by 1planet1people Thursday, Sep. 29, 2005 at 7:59 PM

The pictures below are graphic and should not be viewed by those who do not wish to see the reality of US foreign policy.

US Solders Posting P...
6th_marines_112_cooked_iraqi.jpg, image/jpeg, 600x402

The solders in the war against the Iraqi people have found a new way to violate the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention requires respect for "the remains of persons who have died for reasons related to occupation or in detention resulting from occupation or hostilities and those of persons not nationals of the country in which they have died as a result of hostilities."

Yet, members of the occupational force are publishing photos on www.nowthatsfuckedup.com for access to porn sections. Below are a few examples of these photos. The pictures are being posted to expose the criminal nature of the acts and to help build a movement that will demand that the terrorist actions of the United States be stopped and the criminal elements within Iraq be withdrawn immediately. Though many of the pictures did not come with explanations, there are pictures here, and more on the site with US troops posing with deceased Iraqis. Further, whether the individuals were killed by US troops, or by the defenders of the Middle East, US Solders are forbidden to post the pictures in a disrespectful manner (such as on an adult internet site). There is one picture that I did alter, the one of the young lady that the solder took that exposed here genitalia and wound at the same time. I did not feel that here genitalia was of significance and that there was no reason to post it uncensored.

For the Corporate Spin: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/28/web.photos/index.html

Scorpio's seen combat

by Meyer London Sunday, Mar. 19, 2006 at 2:26 PM

That sounds about as likely as the story that he used to be a socialist. Like Lee Harvey Oswald, he must have been the only socialist in the barracks. Except that I don't believe he was a socialist and I don't believe he was in any barracks unless that is what they called the mental ward at some county hospital.

By being the only military person in military history actually to show up for duty on fewer days than George Bush. Or maybe he got caught filling the ammo cases on his Bradley Fighting Vehicle with cheetos instead of bullets. Or maybe Mom just forced him to resign from the Boy Scouts because he was learning too many swear words from ruffians in the organization.

( oh yeah, Saddam's kids got toasted awhile ago, didn't they? ). All you "let's go to war, it's patriotic" folks..... do you want to see YOUR sons or daughters in those positions? Do you think the rest of the world would run to OUR aid if we were attacked or invaded? Oh yeah, thanks France.

Mrs. Wife of a Soldier

by The truth of War Monday, Nov. 06, 2006 at 12:20 PM

To all who know or "think they know", about the truth of war.
Where would YOU be if this war was in America? I could bet you would probably be out protesting it! AM I RIGHT? You would probably get your stupid self shot and we wouldn't have to worry about people like you , and your freedom of speech that my husband, brothers, friends, a loved ones fight for.

Do you think our soldiers have freedom of speech over there? NOPE, because they are more worried about their lives and protecting the lives of others to worry about such a little thing? I guarantee, we may have not lost as many soldiers, but we have a lot of soldiers coming back really messed up because WAR is not pretty. You might not support our troops, and you may not like War, but the TRUTH is WAR HAPPENS and you need to get real if you think that you are going to live in PEACE foreever. There are bad people out there that hate us, and would like nothing more then to see our country crumble. If you think that you are causing some type of discomfort to the american troops by not supporting them, then you really are stupid. They have a lot more to worry about. Truth is noone is perfect, and its sad that these photos have gotten out, but the what about the posting of our soldiers being tortured or the bedheadings? If you don't support America and OUR TROOPS then LEAVE! Go get yourself a good job in Mexico or Canada. Oh, but wait! Isn't that why they are all coming here? To live the American Dream.....

Someday god forbid the inevitable happen and war ever accur again on our American soil. Where are you going to be hiding? My Husband, brothers, friends and loved ones will be protecting your stupid ass, just so you can continue to be one.

Domestic War is Not the Same as Invasion

by johnk Monday, Dec. 11, 2006 at 4:54 AM

>Where would YOU be if this war was in America? I could bet you would probably be out protesting it! AM I RIGHT?

A domestic war is not the same as an invasion.

Invasions tend to cause people to fight the invasion, and are willing to take heavy casualties. That's just reality. People put aside their differences to fight the invader, and that's exactly what would happen here. A lot of leftists would take arms to repel the invader.

Likewise, in Iraq, though we had a lot of support from people hostile to Saddam, there were also a lot of people who joined in the resistance, despite their differences. Many of our supporters are now, no longer eager supporters, and almost everyone there wishes the US to leave. Eventually, the political winds will really shift, and the resistance will start actively recruiting among US allies. (I'm certain they already accept people who switch sides, but at some point they will recruit.)

Then, we're really done for. End of game. No "two year exit plans" because the entire situation will fall apart. The logistics of the occupation will become known, and it'll be unsafe.

The Iraqis have, reportedly, lost over 600,000 lives (on all sides), while we're only at 2,700 or so. With numbers like that, there's no way the US can "win" anything. Pretty soon, they will lose nearly 10% of their population to this war. The US, and by extension, Western Democracy, will have no credibility.

Invading other countries to "spread democracy" has as much legitimacy as the USSR had in invading countries to spread communism. In fact, it has even less legitimacy, because, at least the USSR waited until there were some communist revolutionaries in the country before conducting the invasion.

The only way to spread democracy is from below. Like they did in South Africa, where, things are still screwed, but they did manage to change the government without a coup, and without a full-blown civil war. They got support from people all over the world, including people in the USA. For that the people who helped can be proud.

The government of the USA, however, cannot be proud, because this country ignored all requests by the democratic forces in South Africa to carry out a sanction against the state. By ignoring the request, the administration effectively helped prop up apartheid while the popular sentiment was to tear it down.

The lesson in this is that democracy must be built from the ground up.

The other lesson is that if the administration says they're "spreading democracy," they're probably making it up.

Anytime now...

by Sapper Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006 at 8:05 AM

Okay, the pix you found and are spreading with "your" site were found guilty of content being offensive in every context as you have stated. They have since closed the site and convicted the private publishers. Now, YOU too will follow should you continue to spread the the same.

War, is an act of human indecency that has happened for centuries in every culture but has been "softened" in the public eyes of the US. Yes, it's horrific in nature and will never be a pleasant aspect of life no matter what view or lens you view it from. Spreading fear nor hatred isn't the answer either as you are doing here with your site. Our own Civil War was just as gruesome along with all the torture and death involved in "developing" the NEW World when we first encountered the Indians here in "America",

Death, torture, and murder has been a part of EVERY Nations birth, rule, and growth long before our own history.

Does this make war okay? No. Does this make it something to be passive about? No. But yanking peoples chains in a childish manner like this site is far from helping matters at any angle you view your site. Getting involved in more "productive" means would suffice and better aid your goals.

Human life is precious, no matter the origin. The human heart and soul is what's so dangerous and need of great repair in this world.

In kind retort to Jason

by Steven Smith Tuesday, Jan. 02, 2007 at 5:17 PM

You seem to forget that the war in Iraq is not about defending American's constitutional rights. Please explain to me how the Iraqi people are jeapordizing our rights as a democratic country? This is a war over oil, and of resentment over the Persian Golf war turnout. George W. Bush just couldn't accept that his father didn't "finish up" during the Gulf War. I understand that Sadam was a tyranical leader, however that is a matter that the people of Iraq needed to deal with. We have absolutely no right meddling in that country's affairs. If we did then we would be at war with much of Africa, South Korea, the Philipines Etc. Etc. Since when are we allowed to decide who and how another country should be run?

by Alex Sunday, Feb. 11, 2007 at 10:45 AM

I think that now, even with the dominance of mainstream "big media" distorting the truth and reporting selectively for the powers that be, the ugly truths of US soldiers behaviour in Iraq is coming out in the open. Pictures such as these, pictures from abu ghraib, the story of the 14 year old Iraqi girl Abeer raped and killed along with her family in mahmoudiyah by US soldiers, are just the tip of the iceberg. It is becoming obvious now that human rights violations are taking place on a daily basis in Iraq, and contrary to popular misconception, most of it is down to US soldiers rather than "insurgents" or secterian conflict. Its just a shame the internet wasnt mainstream when US soldiers were commiting attrocities in Vietnam.

Bearing Witness

by Thanks for the laughs Thursday, Feb. 22, 2007 at 3:44 AM

America, you have been contaminated by
spiritually corrupt men and women who
have infected you with a disease of the soul.

This cancer will eat you from the inside out
and there is nothing that you, or anyone else,
can do about it.

Iraq is not the cause, it is merely a sympton,
an erupting chancre smelling foul and oozing puss.

The condition is untreatable.

If there was a God, he would not be able to
show Mercy on your souls. You have
transgressed every natural law of this universe and desecrated the very essence of life itself.

Now you will claim your reward for your works.

Think About This

by Speaking Up Thursday, Feb. 22, 2007 at 6:23 PM

First of all I would like to point out only the people who have served in a war or have family, friends, or relatives serving in the war can even begin to speak about the wars truths. For one unless you've been in a war or know someone who has you don't have any first hand knowledge about it. Therefore you are only repeating what you heard from some other unreliable source that has probably never been close to the war to even understand it. As for these pictures come on what did you expect them to be. A war is not some cuddle fest or pillow fight it’s fucking WAR! If you look in the dictionary it will say war is a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations. There you go armed hostile conflict between states or nations. They fucking bombed the U.S.A first and now we are in a hostile conflict because of it. Some of you anti war assholes seem to forget how this all started. We were attacked and now it’s our job to go take care of the assholes that did it. Otherwise we run the risk of being attacked again and again. This war is not for revenge or pride, but for the safety of the citizens who still stand after 9/11. Now you may not agree with war but you should still support the U.S.A and our troops.

Look at it this way: Your sister/brother is getting married, but you hate the groom/bride. They are still getting married despite your protest. This leaves you with a choice. You love your sister/brother so you support her/his decision to marry even if you don’t agree with it or you leave her/his life. Now picture your sister/brother as the U.S.A and the groom/bride as the Iraqi War. You may not like the war, but the U.S.A is fighting it despite your protest. You have a choice. You love the U.S.A and the freedom you have so you support your nation and its people even if you don’t agree with the U.S.A being in war. Or you can leave the U.S.A.

Like your sister/brother you can’t only support your nation when things are good and not when it’s bad. No matter what the decision may be if you love your nation you’ll support it no matter what! Through thick and thin; through right and wrong!

Why is it ok for the USA to be attacked and have these things happen to its people but so many think the USA is wrong to retaliate. Would you sit back and let someone come to your homeland and kill your countrymen and do nothing??????

I say USA keep taking the fight to the terrorist and the terrorist supporters so the world is safer.
To all of you that don’t agree, just think how your views will change when you feel threatened by these wack job terrorist. So many sit in judgment, but so few really think it through.

For 'our freedoms'? If it weren't so grievous, it would be a laugh. STFU with your apologies and flag waiving moronics. You make me want to puke.

I respect what our armed services do for our country but I do not think photos should be taken of this type of thing.
I HAD complete respect for our troups. Now.............
seeing that they would take photos of this for any reason changes my mind.

anyone who has a problem with not the picture its self but with the act that caused these pictures needs to be dropped of in that hell hole for 13 months of their life so they can have their life put on the line... then let them call them "senseless kills" cause i guaruntee... if half of you had been dropped off at 19 years old (as i was)to defend this country you would have a different oppinion.. and what would really piss you off is having people like you bash them and run them down for defending that freedom of speech that of you so freely express..

"to defend this country"

by Sgt. Slaughtered Saturday, Mar. 03, 2007 at 12:18 PM

Give me a break, you were and are a tool. I can hardly wait for you to come home, join the police and practice your 'defense' on the American citizen. Your training and brainwashed adherence to the masters will be valued by them.
You are 'defending' only the fat pasty asses of the masters. Ignorance feeds tyranny and your plate is overflowing.

Mr.

by Timothy Friday, Apr. 20, 2007 at 10:24 AM

You people are unbelievable. have you no concept of what you demand? These men and woman were sent there by their country. They were told what to do. Every single one of them would rather be at home with friends and family. If you believe that there is something wrong with them posting pictures, I ask you instead if there is something wrong with you people criticizing them. Have you been there, do you know what it is like to be shot at. To every day wonder if that little kid over there that you gave chocolate to for the past week will today come up to you with a bomb attached to him. DO NOT CRITICIZE WHAT YOU KNOW NOTHING OF! You poor childish college students stuck in your world believing that everything comes to you in a nice bow need to wake up. Whether you support this war or not, or any war whatsoever you need to understand and have respect for the people that are there. The greatest tragedy is not what the soldier does on the whim of his country, but instead what the country does on a whim to the soldier who severs it. If you do not believe in this war DO NOT blame the soldiers, instead blame the congressmen and women that have them over there. The sad truth is we send these soldiers into a world that others would describe as hell and expect them to behave just as we do! How could we even hope to believe that, these soldiers must adapt in a way that works for them, and the sad truth is to some extent one has to become comfortable with death otherwise they will go insane. So what it really comes down to is this, if you don't like the pictures don't look at them, don't spread them around, its that simple.

Update to the comments

by 1planet1people Monday, Apr. 23, 2007 at 10:53 AM

I am glad to see that these images have affected so many and sparked dialog for so long. This war is illegal, immoral, and unjustified, which entails that every person in these photos dies unnecessarily. There is one 'pro-war' comment that keeps re-appearing and I want to address it. "War has always happened, it has always been ugly, and it always will, so get over it". It is true that tyrants have always waged wars, and that tyrants have always done really bad things, and I am sure that there will always be tyrants that want to do it in the future (though I do hope one day they will all be stopped before they can). But I fail to see the point.

Lets put this another way. There has always been Pedophiles, these Pedophiles have always sexually assaulted small children, and it has always been cruel. It also will happen in the future, for as long as man kind lives on. From this fact, should we accept it, support it, do it? Of course we should fight it, we should lock up these Pedophiles to protect children.

So back to your point, yes, tyrants have always waged war, and they have always murdered civilians for profit and power. But this does not mean we should join the orgy of immorality. We should identify it, fight it, and remove from power every tyrant of today and tomorrow. And George W. Bush is a tyrant that stands with Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Caesar, and many others. And, we are the people that can assert our human right. There are certain truths that are simply self-evident. All men (not just American men) are created equal, and they are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among the people, deriving their just powers from the consent of those governed, That whenever any Form of Government (forigen occupier or domestic institution) becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Censorship

by 1planet1people Monday, Apr. 23, 2007 at 11:12 AM

I would love to censor these pics too, but unfortunately, if we ignore it, it will continue. If you can get Americans to stop doing the actions, I promise to stop showing it. Maybe if you over there in Africa spent some time showing the horrors going on in North Uganda, there would be enough global opposition to the genocide of the LRA to stop it.



Maybe if you took more photos in your own country (like where Shell has murdered your own people for oil) unethical acts of aggressions would stop there as well.



It is hard to believe that someone from Africa can say to us that we should try to censor genocide. Maybe you are so used to it in your own backyard that you don't even care. We do, and we will stop this. We will work to stop in the Middle East and Africa. We are all brothers and sisters stuck on this place called earth, and it is time we are realists about what is going on, and demand that it all stops!

Get over it..

by USAFwife=) Tuesday, May. 08, 2007 at 9:56 AM

Just rambling here...
To be honest, everyone has the right to an opinion...like they say, "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one".
If you think that our military's reasoning for being there is wrong, write a letter to the president. It will be read and shredded, if it even makes it THAT far.
Don't hate our troops for what they are told to do. Hate YOUR president that YOU elected. I personally voted for Kerry...but that's beside the point.
Murdering people is NOT okay HERE in the usa, nor should it be okay ANYWHERE in the world. If someone is running at you with a gun aimed right at your head, what do you do? If it's YOU or HIM...wouldn't you much rather it be you who lives through it? Or would you drop your gun, raise your arms in the air and say "I can't shoot you, It's wrong."?
Doubtful.
Just because there aren't pictures of the people killed in WW1 and WW2...hell, ANY war, doesn't mean that the same shit didn't happen to those parties involved.
We have had americans beheaded on TV! Those fools broadcast the live beheading of innocent americans....yet we, as americans, are the ones who are brutal and inhumane?
Just give it a rest. What you see here is nothing new. It happened before, and it will happen again as problems arise between two different nations.
It is what it is, and nothing that anyone says on some website is going to change it.
So you can sit there, at your computer, and let your little fingers type away to form some useless rant on the screen; or, you can crack open a budweiser, plop your ass on the couch and flip to TV to ESPN, all the while thinking "Damn it's great to be an American!". Your choice.

dear Mrs. Wife of a soldier

by jimboskispace/ James William Ball Monday, May. 28, 2007 at 4:02 AM

Ma'am, your loved ones would not be in the military if they did'nt want to be right? what about your sister or your daughter? they could join up too, along with you if you wanted too. I was in the Army for about three months at Ft. Benning, they tried to brainwash us into killing people. They could give a good goddamn about us. there are soldiers that come home, get dropped off in d.c. and thats it, they gotta find their own way back. But hey, if they were rich they would no doubt have an easier time. And you know, we did'nt even have to go to war, but because we want that saudi oil...think about it lady our government gives less than a shit about us in the face of profit, if the world blew up they would just live in their own artificial environment with all the rich fuckers and all their material crap and maybe a few regular folks around as slaves. By the way, when i joined the army infantry my reqruiter told me to lie about having athsma and when they found out at benning they told me i had to go home, i did'nt want to live a lie. Any way, Peace Forever! and those who want to destroy, hurt or otherwise cause negativity should all live together on their own island so they can only bother each other.

Some peoples actions are sick, and you don't have a right to defend those actions

by Angel Wednesday, Jun. 20, 2007 at 5:47 AM

There are such sick people out there and their actions speak very clearly, I am sorry lady, but you have no right to defend these sorts of actions. People like you make it OK for this to happen, and under no curcumstances is this behavour OK! I am sorry to hear about your family going to WAR but the rest of us have to cope with the out come of their actions. WAR is a gresome time but us at home should be greatful for the loved ones that return.

BTW if you think that only America went to WAR you are sadly mistaken, I am a New Zealander and many of our people didn't have a choice, and were sent to Peace Keep what your Brothers and Husband and fellow citizens left behind. There was such a mess. Our men and woman were discusted at the ill treatment of people, such little respect for life and no compassion for those that were killed. Most of the people America fought against, were people like you and me, but with less knowledge of what was really happening. Most of them were only children, inocences caught up in POLITICAL bullshit and poorly educated.
I am proud to be able to look out my window each day with no guilt on my shoulders. Weither it is war or not, nobody deserves to suffer in such an inhumain and horrid way.

Thats real life...

by Anonymous Wednesday, Jul. 04, 2007 at 10:13 PM

These pictures are the reality of what a fucked up thing war is. It is not a fun or exciting game, wehre you run around shooting people. Death is graphic, painful, and disturbing. These pictures should be shown to all the people who have a happy, hollywood view on war. But, in defense of the amreican army: dont discriminat against the thousands of soldiers who are in the middl east, exposed to this daily. Dont judge a scared group of people on those who desicrate the dead. Be supportive, i say again, the men of americas armed forces are exposed to this daily, the last thing they need is people rallying for their defeat. Dont support the war, support the troops. God, do not bless America, bless the frightened men and women who live with the threat of death looming over their heads, whos lives are forever changed by the atrocities of war. Hollywood got on thing right, "The first causualty of war is innocence..."

mrs wife of a us soldier

by mrs soldier Tuesday, Jul. 17, 2007 at 9:07 PM

ok first of all if ound this page on a nother page when i was looking for support your troops stufff. it said the truth about our troops,so i clicked on it. im writing on here bc the person who made the last website was too coward to put up his own email. well, to all of you who think you know about whats going on over there and our troops, you dont. you have no idea. yes they volunteered for the army and yes they knew they would probably get sent overseas. but let me tell you something. screw the genevia convention;all those people who are ignorant enough to not support the troops thats the rules of war we only are required to follow. do you people not remember september 11. we are in iraq trying to fix their government so this doesnt happen again. those of you who can sit there and say your against the troops im sure was not affected by sept 11. you did not have someone in one of those planes or in those buildings or fm/po who died bc they were trying to save others. it says our troops are not heros. fuck that!!! a hero is someone who risks their life to save another. our troops are heros, they risk their life to save all of ours. those of you who say you dont support our troops, go ahead stand in front of them and take that bullet for them bc they surely are taking it for you. whats that? yeah ur too cowardly. yea the pictures are graphic and it does say they are civilian. you say its horrible what we do to the captured that they should be treated with respect. do our troops get treated with respect? hell no! ask a wife of a soldier who has been captured how "respected" her soldier was treated. she'll hand you the video of her husband being tortured and then having his head cut off by a rusty saw. imagine that. so all of u who dont support our troops, fuck off and y dont you go ahead and stand infront of them. take the bullet for them for a change. i dare you!!!!

by Human Friday, Jul. 27, 2007 at 12:12 AM

The images are just the images of the vehicle a person used to live in (a broken physical body). Once the person has gone out of that body, it is no longer them. The people who lived in them, lived a shorter life due to someone stealing their potential. The reasons are many to take a life, but it is still theft. Theft of potential. It is the potential to do harm or to do good. We all have the potential to do harm or to do good. If there is anyway to stop the reasons to steal a life, then all effort should be made to help both sides.

People Dying for Profits

by Chris Monday, Aug. 20, 2007 at 10:08 PM

First off, what you presented was a non-sequitur argument. Joining the army has nothing to do with understanding the realities of life.

If i'm wrong about that than you presented a pretty stupid argument to join the military, because the pictures above represent the atrocities of pointless "wars" (since congress has not technically declared a war since ww2) and pointless deaths.

But I should be more specific. It IS NOT pointless if you are a CEO of cingular wireless or halliburton, if you are the growing gdp/ gnp, or if you are among the dwindling number of rich folk in the US, etc.

It IS pointless if you are poor and being lied to in order to join the military, bc your government can not provide affordable education or enough jobs (yes, recruiters lie, and for good reason: it's their job and we desperately need more ppl in the military); if you are sick in the US and can't get affordable healthcare because we can't divert some of the 4 billion dollars a week going to kill more American troops, contractors, and iraqis to the healthcare system, etc.

If you can not wrap your mind around the fact that the recent warmongering of the US is for geo-political and economic reasons, which only benefit the rich (a shrinking number of ppl), and not for the ambiguous notions presented to a nauseating amount (freedom, democracy, terrorism, etc.) than you are a tool--plain and simple

OUT

by Mister_Sunglasses Sunday, Sep. 30, 2007 at 5:57 AM

Pictures such as these are shocking and heart-breaking. But this is the reality of war. You could find similar pictures from any conflict over the past 100 years from all around the world, not just in Iraq. The problem is, the majority of people in the western world recognise certain conflicts (e.g. Serbia/Bosnia 1990s, Rwanda 1990s) as unjust, but seem to think that the war in Iraq is just and honourable and necessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. At first, the war was being sold as a means of revenge for 9/11 and to root out terrorists. This was ridiculous as Iraq had no connection to 9/11, in fact Saddam was hated by men like Bin laden and Zawahiri as he was more a socialist secular leader than a religious one. Then the war was being sold as a means of ridding him of weapons of mass destruction. This again was nonsense. No WMDs were ever recovered. The republican neo-conservative elite conveniently ignored reports that Saddam was a fading threat rather than an emerging one and fabricated all sorts of stories to try to drum up support for this illegal invasion. It was only when all these claims were proven to be wrong that the tagline was changed to "Liberating Iraqi People". Well, 4 years since the invasion, Iraq does not look liberated at all, countless lives have been lost by US bombing bloodbaths of "shock and awe", trigger happy US soldiers, and the recently ignited spate of sectarian violence and criminal violence. Saddam was no angel but the simple truth is, for those Iraqis that kept out of politics, they lived reasonably comfortable lives under Saddam. It was a fully functioning state. Even most the horror stories attributed to Saddams originated from the 1980s when Saddam was an ALLY of the US. Quite ironic how the US thinks it can punish someone who it helped to keep in power. The US government provided support to Saddam as it saw him as a stable secular ally against Iran, even though everyone knew perfectly well what was going on in his country (e.g persecution of Kurds etc). Such double standards and hypocrisy is enough to make anyone sick. The Neo-conservative chicken hawks (Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bolton) lied to the people about WMDs, lied about links to international terrorism, lied about the Iraqi people welcoming US soldiers as liberators and lied about oil and geographical location not being major factors behind this war. Iraq holds the second largest oil reserves in the world, and oil is running out. It is absolutely naive to think oil had no impact on the decision for war. Iraq was also seen as a convenient base and jump off point to monitor and possibly invade countries such as Iran. It was also done to prevent China from accessing that black gold called oil that it also desparately needs. There were many reasons for the war, but none of them noble. The "insurgency" in Iraq is a resistance movement plain and simple, most Iraqis resent the US and want them OUT. No amount of installed puppet politicians or theatrical hangings will change this simple fact. Certain powerful and shadowy figures in and around the White House need to accept that this was a doomed policy from the start. Even after the illegal invasion based on lies, I think the US could have made some progress if they continued the occupation with some humility and compromise, but did they do this? No they didnt. Catastrophic errors were made. The US dismantled a fully functioning state, and dismissed most of the civil workforce. This was an act of utter stupidity. The campaign of "shock and awe" was also utter stupidity. The US making marines immune from international courts was also utter stupidity. What kind of message did this send out? Particularly after incidents such as Haditha where US soldiers tied and shot Iraqi civilians dead in cold blood in their homes, the massacres in Fallujah, the rape and massacres in mahmoudiyah, the rapes in southern Baghdad, the horrors of Abu Ghraib etc. What the hell did they think would happen?? What would happen if a nation invaded the US, carpet bombed the cities, then dismantled the Army, Police Force, Civil workforce etc. You;d see chaos. You;d see crime. You'd see the KKK and Arian Nation fighting ethnic groups. You'd see Bloods and Crips gang violence, Hispanic gang violence, Mob influence and violence etc. Any nation would fall into chaos after this. look at what happened in New Orleans after the floods. The US invasion CAUSED the violence we are seeing in Iraq, even the secterian conflicts can be attributed to the invasion. I hope now, the world finally sees this war for what it really is, the biggest political disaster in US history, with over 3000 US service men as victims, and possibly 600 000 Iraqi victims. Time to get OUT.

90 % of all deaths in Iraq are civilians

by ann pitts Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007 at 4:48 PM

Amen, these photos of the reality of this war should all be on TV.
Through army recruitment ads and videos , this is the side of war that is never shown.
Although our government claims that we do not have to conduct a body count of Iraqis, the
Iraq War is unique in that there is an estimated loss of innocent civilians, that of 90 %, which is much greater than any war that we have waqed

For those who had respect for the military and have since then changed their minds because of the above pictures, I ask, " What do you think the military does? Hand out peace leaflets and lollipops? I f you seriously think that we can establish any form of conversation with our enemies, then you must be in a world called Disneyland. Would you shake the hand of someone pointing a weapon at you? You may, but you would be praying he doesn't pull the trigger. Soldiers don't have that option in combat. You cannot have peace without having war. It has been proven time after time. Not everyone shares our beliefs and wants. We are different! Would you like to convert to Islam? What if these ideals would forced on you? What would you do?Christianity, Islam, yada, yada, yada, whatever.......

And after reading the War is a Racket, you can invest some time to see how he thwarted a fascist coup in the 1930's in case you ever wondered how:
"The terror we inflict will come home to roost right here" when in fact this very same transition of constitutional government as the C.O.G. ( Oliver North's little pet project ) performed the very same coup during the Sept 11th event.
Maybe you need to wake up and look around. The first casualties of a police state are its loose ends. Like individuals who were serving the inner party and know too much, or not quite enough.

Your Welcome

by RCarter Monday, Jan. 07, 2008 at 10:57 PM

To all you European bastards out there, your welcome.
Your welcome for the hundreds of thousands of American lives lost when Europe was over run by Hitler and America came to your aid. Not that it was really any of our problem that the French are pussy's and they surrenderd immediatly when the Germans showed up.
I wouldn't expect people like that to understand the way we Americans handle things. Does America need the rest of the worlds aproval for everything we do? Hell no. Who is France to tell the U.S what to do? Sadam was certainly not our friend, certainly the type of person that would aid terror groups that would attack us, therefore we took him out. Thats our business, fuck off. How dare anyone call our military terrorists? Europe as we know it would not exsist if it weren't for our "terrorists" you whiny bastards. You Italian fucks are certainly ones to talk about how to run a country, your on what, Constitution number 700 in the last...10 years? Yeah, lets take advice from them...
Has my country handle every aspect perfectly? No, we could certainly do things better, but to say we are there for oil and to compare us to the Nazis...thats a bit too far for my liking. We went there to attempt to bring stability to an unstable region, to weed out leaders (Sadam) that are sypethetic to people that ATTACKED MY COUNTRY, and help out others over there.
So, ya'll better shut the fuck up, mind your own damn business, and take a good long hard look at your own fucked up countries before you start hating on mine, cause the last time I checked the US is the ONLY superpower on this PLANET, so I think we just might be doin something right. At last check I don't think that there is a country on earth that doesn't owe us something, or else hasn't had its ass royally kicked by us at some point. The mere fact that in the last 4 or 5 major wars that we have had we have taken no more significant land gains is testiment to the fact that we don't fight wars for sheer financial gain. By all rights we could own about 1/5 of Europe. Keep that in mind before you bitch some more.

Don't step in the bullshit.

by Tysver USMC Wednesday, Mar. 19, 2008 at 4:17 AM

Judging from the quality of the photos, many of these were shot by the media, who have photographers crawling all over the place after the bullets fly. Besides, the liberal media loves stuff like this, because they can use it to futher political agendas, sort of like a picture of Bush hugging a Katrina plastered all over the headlines of Fox News. It never ceases to amaze me how much people think they can know about the situation in Iraq WITHOUT EVER GOING THERE! I was there for two years, I know what goes on. Seriously, the liberal media spins shit as much as the conservative media does, only in a different direction. If you limit yourself to only seeing what you want to see, only looking at one side of coin, than you will always be ignorant.
Example: you people see photos of dead Iraqis and automatically assume they are civilian. You don't know where, when or how they died, just that they are dead. It would be like a white man walking up to me, pointing a finger in my face and yelling "You are black, therefore you are a criminal." Try not to step in the bullshit, it's not fun being a pawn, whether your holding a gun or a sign.

Every one of you idiots who posted these are sick bastards. Why don't you go over to Iraq for a week. You wouldn't make it! And I'll tell you why. You don't know any reasons of why we kill these people. THEY TRY TO KILL US! If someone started firing a rifle at you, what would you do, sit there. Anybody in they're right mind would shoot back. And as far as being baby killers, when a child is running towards you with a live grenade with the pin pulled, you drop that kid so your flight or platoon does not die. That is war. But the kids that run up to us without a grenade, we play with. I treat those kids like my own, because I know how hard that being in war.

War Is Ugly

by SealNeil Monday, May. 26, 2008 at 7:42 AM

war is ugly on all sides and to say that people are proud of what they do whether it be kill a civilian or kill a "threat" is absurd. as someone who has stared death in the face more times than i care to count people need to be more empathetic for soldiers on both sides i cant say who is right or wrong but soldiers on both sides are doing what the feel is "right". "When the rich go to war poor people suffer" io give credit to all involved in this horrific conflict whether they be iraqi,iranian,american,french nato...whatever they are all brothers in arms and i feel for all of them...anyone who has never seen the horrors of war need to respond to what i have said.These pics are an evil reminder of just how evil and primal human nature can be.its aweful but its true and until we unite and understand that we are all brothers and forgive trespasses no matter how big or small...there will be more of these type of pics until they end of mankind, an d at this rate it wont take long.....honor soldiers on all sides dont let them die in vain for a cause they believe. Thank You for reading.......Neil

Someone has free time.

by Free-Man Sunday, Jul. 13, 2008 at 7:16 AM

Wake up , This is a waste of your time. You say that there should never be wars or killings. You live in a world that is not perfect. No matter how hard you try with this site you are not changing anything. Yes the pics are bad and i am sure some may not be necessary but i nor you are over there. We have the option to sit in our home and post online while things that we can not even imagine happen over there. So not a single member of your family was in any war? You have never lost a loved on due to anything other then natural causes? While you sit there and read this our brothers and sisters oversees are wondering if they will make it home to see loved ones. You think they are there drawing pics of the next kid they want to kill , the next friend they want to see die beside them? Everyone forgets what happaned on 9/11 . Maby this war is not needed anymore , maby we should bring them home. But it is not up to us. There are people that know 98% more TRUE info about this war why not find one and TRY to have a 2 sided converstaion with them? What credit do you have to post on this topic? Although i know that the above will never happen as you seem to be the kind of person who can not see two sides of a story. You say that our armed men and women are brainwashed? Well i can not prove they are not but if so then you too are brainwashed. You have one idea in your head and you ride it until it goes away or your death. I am not going to say what some have and wish your family was in war or that you one day come face to face with a bomber or a man with a gun shooting at you, i dont wish that on anyone. I am not in the military because i want to enjoy my life however i have a DEEP respect for those that can step up to the plate and not back down when they are needed most. The troops and the "enemy" have my respect and pitty. Noone should have to see such things but if noone did then this would not be a free country and you would be much more then brainwashed.

"Everyone forgets what happaned on 9/11"
Are you a moron? How could we forget as it's the universal excuse for the rampage of terror the American military visits on their enemies who never attacked us or had anything to do with 9/11.
Sept 11 2001 was a false flag operation by MI6, CIA and Mossad; with a little help from the FBI.
You 'want to enjoy life' as a cheerleader for the carnage with such repulsively idiodic comments as "one day come face to face with a bomber or a man with a gun shooting at you" as we do exactly that to other families in Iraq, but you want to stay at home while others die.
I detest indoctrinated morons who call others 'brainwashed'.

Just goes to show...

by soldier Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008 at 7:27 PM

This just goes to show how effective propaganda can be... you people who have commented that these pictures show how inhumane, arrogant, and unintelligent Americans are have truly proved that yourselves. These pictures show the horror of war that was present in every war since the American Revolution and even before that. The difference is that they are in full color, and no attempt was made to hide the reality of what war entails. If you felt sick looking at the pictures, imagine the sacrifice made by those who will have to live with having done what was photographed so that YOU wouldn't have to.

"A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it. Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

I very humbly, and for the sake of the loved ones left behind by those protecting our freedom, request that these images, and the accompanying extremely negative comments be removed.

God bless those who have sacrificed all to fight for things worth fighting for.

oh

by fmr infantry Thursday, Dec. 11, 2008 at 7:13 AM

I think the previous statements by "soldier" prove one point.

The brothers and sisters in arms that I have talked with, counseled for suicide and sometimes watched them die, would most likely puke on "soldier's" fake boots.
Smedley Butler USMC One of the greatest heros of OUR military heritage.

He twarted a fascist coup in the 30s by the very same players that now compel "soldier" to apologize for the new psychopathic soldier.

Smedley Butler on Interventionism
-I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.-

Now he was a Soldier.

Duhhhh I's Pro-war :)

by Me Saturday, Dec. 13, 2008 at 8:51 PM

Heh... Let us see:

First, if you don't like the war, why are your kids in it? Maybe they want to fight for their country? The US armed forces are completely VOLUNTARY. Anyone that is over there is over there because they want to be.

Second, if you hate the US so much (Not talking to the foreigners) then please leave :) I hear enough bullshit about 'I hate America but I don't wanna leave!' stepping out of my door, and I definitely don't need to find it looking for images to Photoshop in my spare time. And, if you love the Islamic extremists so much, go have some tea with them :) They'll kill you before you can even say "Heya! I Hate America!".

There's that for the haters. Now, about these pictures. I don't know how much of a sick fuck you think our US Soldier is, but porn is (unless you're retarded [oh noes! I is not PC D:]) free. You don't need to post pictures of dead people to get your porn. You are _retarded_ if you do.

And since I don't see how in the hell someone could be so stupid, the pics with US soldiers in them are probably real. They are also probably dead from terrorists. The rest are probably either:
A) FAKE BLOOD D: You can get it at party city.
B) Not in Iraq. Legs get hurt elsewhere. People also have guns elsewhere.

Now for the person who wrote the thing before the pics:
DUR GENEVA CONVENTION STATES:
"Article 4

A. Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy:

1. Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces. (not terrorists)

2. Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:

(a) That of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates; (not terrorists)

(b) That of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance; (not terrorists)

(c) That of carrying arms openly; (definitely not terrorists)

(d) That of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. (also not terrorists)"

IE Terrorists ain't POWs and don't have anything to do with the Convention.

So in conclusion:
Piss off you anti-American bastards. If you don't like us, leave. And please read the convention before you use it as a defense.

Geneva Convention: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/91.htm

Ah, and please. I'm not going to ever find this website again, so please don't get too upset. You're ignorant, I know.

OOOH! And guess what a terrorist hates more than a republican (who is at war with them).... A DEMOCRAT :3
You fools are about as opposite to terrorists (well... >.<) as you can be (in your thoughts... or not...).

Fools who want out of Iraq are:
Pro-Gay marriage (in general)
Pro-Abortion (in general)
For Gun Control Laws (in general)

Terrorists are:
Anti-Gay anything
Anti-Abortion
Anti-Feminist
Anti-Control of anything
Pro-Blow-the-crap-out-of-Democrats-and-anyone-else

by Steve Monday, Dec. 07, 2009 at 7:08 PM

Ok, i believe that the "PeaceKeeping" in iraq and afghnistan is rather unjust, but compared to thier living conditions before, i would believe that the civilians will be ultimatley muuch more grateful. The only area that i believe is unstabalizable is afghanistan because of the pre- existing tribal society. A regimented, westren govvernment will not work, as proven by the soviets puppet govenmnent. The losses sustained by the civilians in these warzones is horrific, but in the long run i believe this all will be for the greater good. And also we wouldnt want pakistan destablaizing and insurgents/terrorist groups getting thier hands on the nuclear button, would we. I believe we are doing something to help the region at the cost of our countrs fragile foriegn opinion and its time to end this operation and let the locals handle it.

by Steve Monday, Dec. 07, 2009 at 7:13 PM

Many of the wounded died of shrapnel and were civies or iraq police officers or soldiers. These atrocitys werent caused by our weapons. Oh, and just in passing, even if thier in civilian clothing that doesnt meen they werent enemy combatants. I know waht you would say, and no, their weapons are not thier because they would have been removed by the time the medical teams, more like coroners in this case, had arrived.

Did you forget???

by Chase Bruno USMC Monday, Dec. 21, 2009 at 9:30 AM

Did you forget what these sick degenerates did to our country?? You all sound more pissed off that these pictures are being posted than the fact that they flew our airplanes into our cities and killed thousands of innocent people. How about supporting your damn troops instead of supporting the enemy and worrying about their well-being. If U.S. Forces wish to post up pictures of A JOB WELL DONE, then so be it. I seem to recall insurgents uploading full videos of executions and beheadings of innocent contractors, but of course all you liberals seem to just accept it because its common among enemies of this caliber. Stand behind those defending your freedom, how about that.

Are you serious? The picture wasn't taken so a soldier could look at the woman's genitalia. It was taken to show the potential ballistic damage that can be done by modern firearms. I suggest you stop trying to vilify the men and women who keep you safe and give you the privilege of living here.

privilege of living free

by A Dangerious Servant Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009 at 2:38 AM

And a fearful master. The military doesn't give us a 'privilege to be free', it is a tool of the corporate state, and as such, it poses a dire threat to the Right to be Free when HSL has, through Northcom made this a martial state as military now becomes law enforcement at check points, enforcing civilian law.
And if you want to waive the 'terrorist' banner, take a look around; most Americans realize that the terrorism is state sponsored; particularly the treason of 11 Sept 2001
There never was a legitimate reason to invade and occupy Iraq. At least no reason for the USA to fight there. No honest reason, at least..
Let Israel do its own fighting, killing and dying to go to hell with.
Corporate intervention using American soldiers, is a national disgrace,

what make's me laugh is the fact that those that are in the Military think the public are the Sheeple, when they're the one's that's been conditioned, and not only with training, but with drug's and abuses, so no wonder troop's end up not being able to cope with reality when they get back home, and their lack of Emptathy just prove's how less of a human they've made themselves, and then they gota complain they can't deal with their depressions.... fucking Schitzo's, they need Gershoning off the planet, hahahhahaa!

Read the first paragraph VERY carefully. every single one of the guys in the pictures have killed more than 1 american, and in their untimely death it just happened to come from a cartridge designed in america, used by america, and was expended by an american. We fought over there for good reason. and less people die a day in iraq because saddam is out of power.
