US and British shoot civilians

More war crime for Bertie and Horney to share

Safwan, Iraq — The Iraqi teenager pointed to the stains on the chest of his robe. "See," he said. "They shot my brother, and this is his blood."

Frightened British troops shoot at anything that moves in Basra but then this will hardly be news for Irish people who have had direct experience of 42 commando when they were spreading Domocracy here in Ireland.

Of course the Brits say that they were shooting at Iraqi army in civilian clothes!? Their lies or their killing never stops.

The relatives of their victims in Ireland wish them every failure in their attempts to colonise Iraq by murder.

Go mbeidh sibh go leir in ifreann roimh deireadh an cogadh.

These all surrendered on the first day of the war. When the British troops were engaged in fighting with the 51st Division it turned out that these were actually other people who had taken their weapons, uniforms and equipment.

So...

Iraqi's in uniform are not soldiers => no need to observe the Geneva convention and Guantanamo bay can be used again.

Iraqi's in civilian clothes are actually soldiers => no need to observe the Geneva convention and civilian markets and other areas can be bombed.

Damn smart these Iraqi's - good thing we're onto them.

These are civillians living in their own lands, in their own homes, they haven't strayed into their neighbours countries and attacked them. Iraqis even those opposed to soddem are fighting the coalition troops, if you go into my house, point a gun in my face, its only human nature that I will take you out if I can. Nobody wants this war, nobody wants their lives disrupted, their homes destroyed, their land ripped up by bombs, their children scattered all over the place. These Iraqi type people, were living in their own country, going about their everyday buisness, when suddenly all hell breaks loose. Now 5 million of them will flee their war torn cuntry to end up as refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, Ireland, europe and on our doorsteps. Will you give them shelter, a job and safety? Because anybody that supports this war can just welcome these people into their own homes.
