WOMEN AND CHILDREN DIE AS U.S. MILITARY ATTACKS "CRIMINALS" IN BAGHDAD

Today we have another reason to try and convict George W. Bush as a war criminal. The BBC reports that the U.S. military killed women and children in its raids against "criminals" within Sadr City today. Of course, the U.S. military said it was unaware of civilian casualties, although it made much of the body count of the dead "criminals."

Writes the BBC:

"Forty-nine Iraqi "criminals" have been killed in three separate raids in Sadr City in the capital, Baghdad, the US military says.

""The operation's objective was an individual reported to be a long-time Special Groups member specialising in kidnapping operations," it said.

"Iraqi sources said women and children were among those killed, but the US said it was not aware of this."

We could all predict what would happen if Bush invaded and occupied Iraq. Tens of thousands, no, hundreds of thousands, of innocent Iraqi civilians would be killed and wounded. But Bush insisted he knew best. Therefore, he should be responsible for these deaths and he should face the International Court of Justice for these crimes.
