"Human Shields" military propaganda again! Whenever we kill Iraqi civilians (or Israel kills Arab civilians), you can be sure to find the propaganda phrase "Human Shields"! Remember, ONLY when Arab civilians are killed, will you see the phrase "Human Shields"!
Also, we blew up 17 of their ambulances and injured two dozen "human shields" with our "precision" rocket strike! AND...4 more of our soldiers died, bringing our Iraq War total to 4,071 dead U.S. soldiers...as well as spending $2 BILLION a week of our tax money on this war brought to you by the "conservatives"!
● Play "Where's Waldo", and find the phrase "Human Shields" in this article!
Now notice in THIS AP article (both articles are AP), the second paragraph beginning with, "Separately, the U.S. military said late Saturday that four Marines were killed on Friday by a roadside bomb in Anbar province. The military also said that a U.S. soldier died of wounds suffered in a roadside bomb that struck the soldier's vehicle during a combat patrol in eastern Baghdad Friday. At least 4,071 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count." is moved to the end and editted not to mention the 4,071 number in the Washington Times article...WHY DID THEY DO THAT? It looks to me, like the Washington Times took the syndicated AP article and "re-editted" it! But it still says, "by Bradley Brooks"!

Special safety tip from Big Dan on shark attacks: "Sharks live in the water. They can't get you, if you're not in the water...although SNL reported sightings of the 'land shark' posing as either an FTD florist or candy-gram, tricking people into opening their doors so the 'land shark' could attack them. Do NOT open your door for FTD florists or candy-grams! ...unless you are certain it is not a 'land shark'! Otherwise, don't go in the water and the sharks can't attack you! You are welcome!"
