Question: What is this man doing? (Scroll down for the answer)
Answer: He’s a mortuary attendant in Baqouba, and he’s unoading a box containing eight human heads.
Death Squads, children taken hostage by US troops to force their father to surrender, pregnant women shot as they are rushed into hospital, American mercenaries caught with bomb making making equipment set loose scot free to do it again, British soldiers ditto, daily slaughter of civilians by bombs, hospitals without supplies, teachers, doctors, nurses, fleeing the country, a growing litany of massacres committed by occupation troops. And an administration doing its utmost to ensure that the word “America” becomes a synonym for amoral, corrupt, racist, self-indulgent, lieing, bankrupt, dieing…. empire, too engaged in navel gazing to realise that this is more than just “a big public relations problem“

We’ve commented before on similar threads griffon over at gorilla’s guides about the smell, it’s not something that any picture conveys but it is the memory that comes back to you time and time again. If it’s any consolation I came very close to throwing up several times doing this posting.

I’ve no doubt you had trouble, Mark. Personal experience makes these things harder, not easier.
All strength to your arm, my friend.

Oh God. Some things just hit you.
Between this poor sod and that kid you posted the picture of over at Gorilla’s Guides a few months back who was picking up the pieces of body from the street and putting them into a plastic so they could be buried I’m not sure I’m going to be able to eat tonight.

Christ almighty Gor.
I’m like Griffon I came over here hoping that that picture hadn’t taken up residence here as well - took the sequence and then collated them did you?
I often think of that kid - the one picking up the piece of dead bodies. It was Erdla who wrote about him:

As you know I’ve a lad that age, and as all of us who comment often here also know those evil pigs in running the States would have him doing the same as that poor little without a moments thought if there was some advantage in it for them.

Oh and this
http://gorillasguides.blogspot.com/2006/05/no-civilised-army-takes-children.html
is still making my blood boil. I think you should edit that to put the pictres of those oh so very effing brave soldiers holding those two children captive to force their dad to surrender and not just link to it. “Civilised” army my foot.

I am astounded this mortuary worker - God love him - is not even wearing a mask - can you imagine the smell - it must be dire. He must be so used to that dreadful stench by now - he doesn’t even smell it.

What shame indeed MadTom, you were warned when you came not to troll and not to make to make personally abusive comments.
You’ve done both. When, if, you ever try to seriously debate the issues your comment will be published. That means you provide facts not neo-con talking points, or you provide a reasoned opinion again sans talking points and you refrain from ad hominem attacks.
You’re not on some guttersnipe neo-con site now, get used to it.
