I take it back. There's going to be a (political!) bloodbath at the White House. Rove has surely put away his stiletto, and taken up a machine gun, Rambo-style.

See Dick. See Dick take the fall.

I don't want them to resign. I want them to completely destroy themselves in the crossfire.

Bring us their heads! Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld... should resign for their outrageous mistake in Iraq.

But Thomas Friedman said the Iraqis were about to get free!

Oh, no!

This article is much too intimate on the details of fighting at Nasiriya -- were 'embedded' reporters really supposed to tell us about Marines killing five year-old girls in terror?

Save our soldiers from this kind of hell!

US Marines turn fire on civilians at the bridge of death [informationclearinghouse.info].

"Amid the wreckage I counted 12 dead civilians, lying in the road or in nearby ditches. All had been trying to leave this southern town overnight, probably for fear of being killed by US helicopter attacks and heavy artillery.

"Their mistake had been to flee over a bridge that is crucial to the coalition's supply lines and to run into a group of shell-shocked young American marines with orders to shoot anything that moved.

"One man's body was still in flames. It gave out a hissing sound. Tucked away in his breast pocket, thick wads of banknotes were turning to ashes. His savings, perhaps.

"Down the road, a little girl, no older than five and dressed in a pretty orange and gold dress, lay dead in a ditch next to the body of a man who may have been her father. Half his head was missing."

REUTERS/Damir Sagolj: "A wounded Iraqi girl is treated by U.S. marines in central Iraq March 29, 2003. Confused front line crossfire ripped apart an Iraqi family on Saturday after local soldiers appeared to force civilians towards U.S. marines positions. The four-year old girl, blood streaming from an eye wound, was screaming for her dead mother, while her father, shot in a leg, begged to be freed from the plastic wrist cuffs slapped on him by U.S. marines, so he could hug his other terrified daughter."
