Will the war criminals stand trial for the murder of Iraqi children?



"Just before the U.S. forces attacked Qaim last 29 August, a thriving town of 150,000 people in western Iraq, they cordoned it off, cut electricity, water and food supplies. Then they indiscriminately and disproportionately blanketed the town, from the ground and from the air, with artillery shells, cluster bombs and napalm bombs with the full knowledge that civilians, particularly women and children, would be killed.
When it was all over, the U.S. Marines entered the city to fight (with air cover) those who were still alive. Humanitarian aides and medical supplies were prevented from entering the town, in gross violations of international law and the Geneva Conventions. This cycle of criminal process to legitimise the colonisation of Iraq is depicted by the Bush-Blair axis as the "political process" towards "democracy."

Too bad the Canadian Communist Party and all its America-hating minions weren't in Qaim. I'd have lobbied congress to cough up a 1000% budget increase for white phosphorous expenditures.

You state in your scribble:

"Then they indiscriminately and disproportionately blanketed the town, from the ground and from the air, with artillery shells, cluster bombs and napalm bombs with the full knowledge that civilians, particularly women and children, would be killed."

This is a scurrilous lie. Put up or shut up. Cite your sources. The Red Crescent, Italian Red Cross, United Nations, and freelance journalists from 42 nations should all have mountains of evidence to back up this preposterous accusation. Why aren't we hearing about it in the press? Why aren’t CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and other pro-terrorist propaganda organs tripping over themselves to get this story out?

Put up or shut up yourself.

If my link didn’t work you could have used your brain and gone directly to (http://www.globalresearch.ca) from where I quoted the article and done a little searching.

And where are your sources that what the article says is false? When you set the tone and respond like loudmouthed ideological shill a serious response isn’t warranted here.
