Air strikes kill women and children in Iraq.

Iraqis voiced outrage Friday over a U.S. military airstrike that killed an estimated 15 civilians -- nine children and six women, one of the highest reported civilian death tolls from an American bombing in months.

The bombing occurred Thursday evening after U.S. troops raided a suspected leadership meeting of the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq that was taking place south of Lake Tharthar, near the city of Samarra in western Iraq. The U.S. military's account of the violence said troops were shot at during the raid and called in an airstrike in self-defense. In addition to the civilians killed, the U.S. military estimated that 19 suspected insurgents died.

"This could have been done through the infantry," said Ibrahim al-Khamas, a Samarra city council member. "But the American Army prefers the easiest solution, which is the air bombardment."

Yeah I know that the US Military argues about the accuracy of information about civilian casualties coming from the Iraqis. But I am sorry, I find our political leaders and military commanders completely untrustworthy. I have not yet caught an Iraqi lying to me.

And let's face it, how can an air strike NOT kill innocent people?

God I am just so done with this bullshit, let's get our people out of there!
