Here then is that "pep talk." While you read it, try to imagine anything like it coming out of the mouth of any other American president, or anything not like it coming out of the mouth of any evil enemy leader in the films of the Presidents -- and my -- childhood: "Kick ass! [Bush] said, echoing Colin Powells tough talk. If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We cant send that message. Its an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal. "There is a series of moments and this is one of them.

Bush then turned to the subject of al-Sadr: "At the end of this campaign al-Sadr must be gone," he insisted to his top advisors. "At a minimum, he will be arrested. It is essential he be wiped out." zum Artikel... Anzeige How US Troops Cover Up Killing of Innocents clipped by: katsteevns clippers remarks: Click heading for video.

Clip Source: therealnews.com June 1, 2008 Cluster bombs: Hell from above 111 countries ban the use of cluster bombs, except Israel, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and the US Cluster bombs are literally hell from above. Anyone who has seen the effects of cluster carpet bombing on innocent civilians - in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and in the 60s and 70s in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam - cannot help but be horrified. A cluster bomb is a cannister that opens in midair and ejects hundreds of "bomb-lets" across an area of more or less two football fields. These bomb-lets are little metal balls - as powerful as a hand grenade.
