US forces boasted of successfully completing the aerial bombing "blitz" which flattened the Baghdad suburb of Arab Jabour, as Iraqis mourned the more than 500 civilians killed when 114,500 pounds of bombs rained down for ten days on the residential area home to more than 120,000 people.
While Iraqi politicians, both Sunni and Shiite, condemned the air raids which also forced thousands of other civilians to flee their homes, the US commanders justified the aerial bombardment on the grounds that "drop was designed to eliminate al Qaeda’s tactical advantage," ahead of a ground assault to flush out militants from the area.
“The strikes that we concluded (Jan. 20) were focused on IEDs and caches that we have targeted, that will allow us to get our ground troops further into the zone,” Army Col. Terry Ferrell, commander of 3rd Infantry Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team, with responsibility for the Arab Jabour portion of Multinational Division Center, said.
But Iraqi authorities in the area said described the bombing was "random and indiscriminate", and claimed that at least 500 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed by the air raids in the Sunni majority town.
Ferrell rejected the claim, saying that great care was taken in selecting targets, as the Army worked side by side with the Air Force to prevent collateral damage to civilians and property.
“The process that we go through to orchestrate an event of this magnitude, or any targeting cycle that we work together with the Air Force, is a very detailed, deliberate process,” Ferrell said. “We identify the targets, and they sit beside us, and through detailed and thorough analysis, we target it, they help analyze it, describe what effects we want to achieve, and then they work back through the Air Force system to get the desired effects.”
"This heinous crime show to the whole world the extent of the viciousness of the perpetrators who are targeting lives of the people, and not to respect the rights and honor of the human being having a place in all heavenly religions," Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq (AMSI), the highest Sunni authority in Iraq, stated last week.
The scholars called upon the international community, Arab League and all human right organizations in the world, requesting them to "get out of the circle of silent killers, and to have a role even if at minimal degree to stand against the perpetrators of these crimes."
US forces carried out a similar massacre in Fallujah in November 2004, which killed more around 3,000 civilians, in one of the worst atrocities of the Iraq war.

Wire sources?
Which wire sources did you get this story from? I'm not seeing this angle being listed anywhere else.

Disgusting.
Disgusting.
Story from America back in the day should have read as such...
Al Qaeda forces boasted of successfully completing the aerial attack "blitz" which flattened the World Trade Center in New York, as Americans mourned the 3,000 civilians killed when two 336,000 pound planes rained down for some time on the business area to more than 1 million people.
...
"This heinous crime show to the whole world the extent of the viciousness of the perpetrators who are targeting lives of the people, and not to respect the rights and honor of the human being having a place in all heavenly religions," President George W. Bush, the highest Military authority in the United States.
Yeah, they just need to shut up about it, welcome to war.
? The terrorists were from
?
The terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. What do Iraqi civilians have to do with 9/11?
I'm having trouble believing your serious.
Welcome to war, my ass
Yeah, welcome to war, all you Iraqis who had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack described in the previous post.

even if you think 911 was committed by CIA agent bin laden and CIA-created al qaeda, you have to realize iraq had nothing to do with al qaeda... except the indirect link that saddam was also installed by the CIA, and the CIA and israeli Mossad executed 911

Iraq needed their clocks
Iraq needed their clocks cleaned. They're getting their clocks cleaned. This is just routine maintenance.
fuck you
fuck you
really?
I was so excited when I found the presscue site, thinking, "great, now I can see more headlines that the corporate media normally wouldn't put in an easy-to-find place, this is an awesome way to get better news."
Unfortunately, comments like the one above about Iraq "getting its clock cleaned" show that a good portion of the presscue user base is clearly not looking for objective news sources, whatsoever. Had this ignoramus taken the time to do any substantial reading on the Iraq situation, and had the 9/11=Saddam guy above listened to anybody besides Fox and the Bush administration, they both would most likely be singing a different song.
Come on guys, take pride in the fact that Web2.0 and the internet provide forums for communication unlike anything we see in mainstream media today. This site is a noble attempt at getting important news out and facilitating discussion, so please don't pollute it with completely unsubstantiated, ignorant, and offensive posts.
False
Looking through the English-language, foreign and U.S., wire services over the past week via LexisNexis, there was no mention of 500 civilian casualties, though there was an attack on a village near Arab Jabour. Until some other evidence can be found except "wire sources," this is pretty much bullshit. Check your sources -- you discredit all of us.
trash
This is totally bogus. This is what really happened. Gee, I guess if you dont' like the story you just make up facts to please yourself. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5h41nzh2yuGH8SMM0suJ5HVEf_5EQ
100,000 pounds of bombs on 120,000 people
Do you actually believe that there will be no casualties if you drop 100,000 pounds of bombs on 120,000 people?
I think 500 is a gross underestimate. Going by Fallujah, I'd say the number must be thousands.
The media these days tells
The media these days tells us what we are supposed to believe, not what is really happening. When we read reports such as these, we can't believe this is happening, but it is. It is never reported. Don't believe all you 'see'. All is cool in paradise, or that is what They want you to believe.
