NBC RICHARD ENGLE PROVIDES GRIPPING VIDEO OF 1ST I.D. "VIPER COMPANY" BATTLE IN KORENGAL, AFGHANISTAN

NBC's RICHARD ENGLE continues to be one of the best war correspondents there are among the few who cover the war in AFGHANISTAN anymore.

Most of the American news organizations don't want to spend the money to send foreign correspondents to either AFGHANISTAN or IRAQ to cover the wars.

In this gripping VIDEO, ENGLE tells how a U.S. soldier is killed and two others injured during a firefight in the Korengal valley of AFGHANISTAN.

THE REAL IRAQ WAR--FRAGILE STATE OF PEACE (GRAPHIC VIDEO WITH MUSIC BY MINDFLOW)

With just three weeks to go before Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, Iraq teeters on a very fragile peace that could blowup at any minute.

This VIDEO shows what is really happening in Iraq and not what the media in the United States is telling everyone.

It is a dirty rotten shame, in our opinion, that so much attention is devoted to the Israel and Hamas battle while there are still over 130,000 young Americans deployed to Iraq.

The last time I looked there wasn't a SINGLE US soldier or Marine in Israel or the Gaza Strip.

For a better perspective of what is happening in IRAQ watch the following video:

"WE ARE THE WORLD"---US TROOPS AT WAR IN IRAQ SET TO MUSIC (ANTI WAR VIDEO)

The IRAQ WAR has gone on now longer than WORLD WAR II.

There is a fledgling IRAQI government that is being held together with duct tape, and despite all the Bush Administration ballyhoo "the surge" was NOT the military campaign it has been portrayed.

The fact is the Sunni Awakening had decided long before "the surge" was even launched to rid many of the provinces in Iraq of Al Qaeda and insurgents and the U.S. military were only used as backup and didn't really engage in any fighting as witnessed by the fact there were very few enemy casualties from "the surge."

The whole IRAQ war has been one GIANT propaganda campaign by the BUSH WHITE HOUSE and now the IRAQI government wants to dictate to the U.S. Military what they can and cannot do in IRAQ.

It is time to pullout of IRAQ and let the chips fall as they may.

If we don't, there will be more of what you will view in this VIDEO:

WHY ALL THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF ISRAEL BUT NOT IRAQI CHILDREN VICTIMS OF WAR? (WARNING: GRUESOME VIDEO OF IRAQI CHILDREN )

The media continues to focus ALL of their coverage on the ISRAEL attack on GAZA while totally overlooking what has happened to the children of IRAQ since PRESIDENT BUSH and VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY took it upon themselves to invade and occupy IRAQ all in the name of creating a democracy when everyone knows it was for oil.

In all, 300 PALESTINIANS have been killed in ISRAEL air strikes on GAZA and only TWO Israeli civilians have been killed.

Contrast that to what has happened in IRAQ where estimates range as high as ONE MILLION IRAQIS killed since 2003 when the U.S. invaded IRAQ.

The bulk of the injuries in IRAQ are to innocent IRAQI children as this VIDEO so clearly points out.

In our opinion it is a journalistic crime how the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES devotes so much attention to the ISRAEL incursion into GAZA while totally abandoning what has taken place in IRAQ since the U.S. invaded IRAQ.

The media brushes aside any coverage of the IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN wars by calling it "fatigue" on the part of the American public, but in reality it is because many news organizations have pulled their reporters out of IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN to focus on the ISRAEL and GAZA battle.

The VIDEO we are posting here is not for the squeamish and we warn you the scenes of these mutilated bodies of young IRAQI children can be very hard to take.

Nowhere on the internet, and most certainly in the mainstream media in the UNITED STATES, will you EVER see a VIDEO like this.

CNN BREAKING NEWS: AFGHAN CAR BOMB KILLS 14 CHILDREN: CONDITIONS WORSEN IN AFGHANISTAN

Conditions in Afghanistan are getting worse. A car bomb has killed 14 children and in Kabul a rocket attack has killed three teenage sisters.

Afghan car bomb kills 14 children

Story Highlights
Suicide car bomb in southeastern Afghanistan kills 16, including 14 children
Taliban says it carried out attack near voter registration site
Rocket attack in Kabul also killed three teenage sisters

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/12/28/afghan.carbomb/index.html

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A suicide car bomb blast near a voter registration site killed 16 people, 14 of them children, and wounded 58 in southeastern Afghanistan on Sunday morning, according to a senior police official and the U.S. military.

A Taliban spokesman said one of his group's fighters carried out the attack.

When security guards stopped the car at the entrance to the Mandozai district headquarters, the driver detonated the explosives inside the car, Khost provincial security chief Mohammad Yaqoub said.

A security guard and an Afghan National Army soldier were among the dead. There were no military casualties, said U.S. Col. Gregory Julian. Coalition and Afghan forces worked together to evacuate the wounded to military and civilian hospitals, he said.

The military released photos of the incident, saying they "provide further proof the Afghan militants are not interested in the welfare nor benefit of the Afghan people."

Dozens of tribal elders were meeting nearby in the district administrative office at the time of the bombing, the police official said. The Mandozai district is in the Khost province.

Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman speaking by phone from an undisclosed location, said the suicide bombing was carried out by Qari Hameedullah, a Taliban fighter.

Elsewhere, a rocket attack in Kabul killed three teenage sisters and injured four other people Saturday night, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office said in a statement.

The girls died when one of two rockets fired on Kabul crashed into a house in the southern part of the city. In the statement, Karzai called those who fired the rockets "enemies of Afghanistan" who "can't achieve anything by firing rockets but the killing of innocent civilians."

COST OF WAR--COLLATERAL DAMAGE---(WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO)

As the narrator of this video says, the images of civilians and mostly children killed during the IRAQ war is not for school or work, but instead should be viewed in private and then only by people who have the stomach for the grisly carnage on this video.

The United States invaded and occupied IRAQ over five years ago. Since then there are estimates that go as high as ONE MILLION Iraqis have been killed---many of them small children and infants.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney sold the American public a "bill of goods" that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction and that he was in the process of building a nuclear bomb.

BOTH PROVED TO BE FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION.

Nearly 4,300 brave young American men and women have lost their lives in Bush and Cheney's gambit to bring democracy to IRAQ.

In addition, over 30,000 young Americans have been severely injured in the IRAQ WAR and many of them will be disabled for the rest of thei lives.

The fragile IRAQ government has drawn up a pact with the United States that will call for all U.S. COMBAT troops to leave IRAQ in the next few months.

This is the first time in the history of the UNITED STATES that a foreign country has dictated to the UNITED STATES MILITARY and our government on what U.S. troops are allowed to do and who can stay and who has to go.

President-elect Barack Obama is inheriting a quagmire that could keep U.S. troops in Iraq for the next ten or 20 years.

Over the weekend, a mortar shell killed a prominent U.S. doctor from New Jersey in Mosul, and a car bomb at a bus station in Baghdad killed at least 22 and injured scores of others.

IRAQ is not the peaceful country the media tells the people of the United States.

The IRAQI people want ALL U.S. troops out of Iraq and the shoe throwing incident when an Arabic TV reporter tossed his shoes at President Bush in Baghdad two weeks ago is a clear indication how much the United States is hated in Iraq and all across the Middle East.

The shoe thrower is being hailed as a hero by the Iraqi people.

Watch this video, but we warn you the images of civilian casualties, especially the children and infants of IRAQ will tear your heart out.

THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN BAGHDAD: 18 DIE FROM CAR BOMB

US military: At least 18 die in Baghdad car bomb

The Associated Press
Saturday, December 27, 2008
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/12/27/news/ML-Iraq.php

BAGHDAD: The U.S. military says a bomb killed at least 18 people and wounded 25 in a busy Baghdad square.

Initial Iraqi police reports of the blast Saturday at al-Zahra square in the northern Baghdad Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah, said it was a mortar round. But three Iraqi police officers later said it was a parked car bomb, apparently targeting a taxi stand.

U.S. Army Capt. Charles Calios says initial military reports indicate it was a car bomb.

MORTAR ROUND KILLS PROMINENT NEW JERSEY SURGEON IN IRAQ

Well-known American surgeon killed in Iraq
Mortar round explodes near his living quarters on Christmas Day

The Associated Press
updated 11:07 p.m. CT, Fri., Dec. 26, 2008
URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28395779/

TRENTON, N.J. - A prominent New Jersey doctor has been killed in Iraq, the Defense Department said Friday.

Maj. John P. Pryor was a well-known trauma surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. According to the Pentagon, Pryor died Christmas Day when a mortar round hit near his living quarters.

Pryor's colleagues say they're devastated by the loss of the New York City native. Pryor, who was 42, was a married father of three.

He wrote of his experiences as a surgeon confronting violence in Iraq and inner-city Philadelphia in articles published in The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Washington Post.

SO THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR--NO WONDER IRAQIS AND AFGHANS HATE AMERICANS (GORY VIDEO)

You don't EVER read about it in the newspapers or hear about it on TV, but the civilian population of both IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN hate AMERICA and especially the UNITED STATES MILITARY.

The reason can be easily seen in this video of nothing but carnage the U.S. has brought to both IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.

The bodies of dead infants and civilians are all throughout this VIDEO and the legendary Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong sings "What a Wonderful Day" as a way of mocking the "wonderful day" for these poor and innocent victims of BUSH and CHENEY's wars in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.
