Pacifica: US Marines Shoot Ambulances in Fallujah

BAGHDAD, IRAQ -- Speaking from his ranch in Crawford, Texas the
President the United States, George W. Bush told reporters American soldiers have
acted against, quote: "lawlessness and gangs" in Iraq in the past week.
The American theater commander in Fallujah told Britain's Guardian
newspaper 95 percent of those killed in the assault on the city are armed militants.
But that's not the story coming from Fallujah's temporary emergency
clinics. This Baghdad doctor has spent most of the last week in Fallujah. His
name is being with-held for his own safety.

"When you see a child five years old with no head what can you say?"
asks one doctor in Fallujah, whose name is being with-held for his own
safety. "When you see a child with no brain just an open cavity what can you
say? When you see a mother just hold her infant with no head and the shells
are all over her body."

So many Fallujahans have been killed by the US Marines that residents
have resorted to digging mass graves. The City's foot-ball stadium now holds
more than 200 dead bodies:

"We buried many in the stadium for football until it became full. When
you are burying you cannot stay long because they (US Marines) will just
shoot you. So we use the shovel. Just dig a big hole and put a whole family
in the hole and leave as soon as possible so we are not shot."
