(WARNING-GRAPHIC PICS)
This is what happens during a war, and it should NEVER, NEVER have happened here. The pictures are graphic, the situation is horrific. When a father is killed when a mother is raped and left for naught, what happens to their children? They go to an orphanage to be abused and left for dead. This is because of US, in our name, Bush/Cheney let this happen.
More below the fold.....
Scenes of horror in Iraq orphanage.
Two dozen skeletal children, some tied to beds, others writhing in their own waste and some appearing, at first glance, to be dead.
These children were "tethered" to their cribs....
And this happened LAST WEEK!, I saw these pictures last week, but there were NO news stories to follow them up, finally this morning I saw the article appear.
Inside the government-run facility the American troops found 24 boys, many showing signs of severe neglect and starvation. Medics initially feared at least one of the boys was dead.
He had "thousands of flies covering his body, unable to move any part of his body, you know we had to actually hold his head up and tilt his head to make sure that he was okay,"
said Staff Sergeant Mitchell Gibson of the 82nd Airborne Division.
The atrocities are mounting and we cannot stand idly by while the pro-war, supposed pro-life, right-winged zealots continue raping Iraq of its resources and allowing atrocities such as this, Abu Ghraib, Haditha and unknown other horrors to continue. I am outraged at this. This is NOT AMERICA. I imagine one of those boys being my own son of four years lying there on the naked floor and I weep for these boys. Whom will raise these boys, all the children left without parents? Did the Bush administration have a plan to deal with the orphans they made? I guess not.....
Luckily, these boys were found and are now being cared for by our soldiers, but for how long? And how many more will we find like this?
