JAZIRAH DESERT, Iraq — On the first day of a major U.S. offensive, two shells landed in Um Mazin's house. Grabbing what she could, she fled with four other women and 21 children. They are now all sheltering in a single flimsy tent, braving sandstorms in the desert — one of scores of families who have fled the roar of fighter jets, shattering gunfire and artillery barrages near the Syrian border.

"We ran away from the American bombings," said Um Mazin, as the wind picked up, sending sand swirling around her. "The Americans do not hit the gunmen, they hit the houses of civilians."

Yes, those big bombs are not too discriminating. And when "they" (Bush & company & their media partners) claim 100 insurgents are killed, they are just blowing smoke up your ass. They don't know how many were killed (they are mainly under a big pile of rubble) and they don't know how many of the dead are insurgents or civilians. They don't even know how to tell them apart. Claiming that their are foriegn fighters there is more smoke.
