Death To all Islamofascist terrorists and their supporters ~ Bump!
According to our military, there is no "other side" in Fallujah anymore. And in fact, the Iraq government is providing substantial aid to them.
We've been countering Code Pink for a couple years since their creation as another communist front group.
poing!

Why am I not surprised!
Code Pink hates our government and military. They hate the 'puppet' Iraqi government. They won't be giving the 'aid' to them to distribute. Who do you think Code Pink will see gets the 'aid'?
There purpose is to embarrass Bush. They will use this to say Bush isn't doing enough. And they will use it to make a case how bad we are for causing the death and destruction that could have been avoided if we didn't pursue this "illegal war".
My caution to you is that this aid is designed to be a gotcha if we take the bait that its evil to help the residents of Fallujah.
BS

Medea and her props. Thanks for posting the photo.
Response:Well, now one gets to see what some do with their "Rights." (Sometimes congratulations on achieving rights is a little premature.) The proper response would be arrest, trial, followed by a hanging. However, that would take strength-something that seems to be lacking in America 2004 A.D.
Sooner or later, she will find out that they hate us all. Try to reconcile that kind of emotion when your head is separated from your shoulders.
She said they're giving it to "the other side." There's no gotcha about it. She indicted herself with her own words.
Now we need to find someone with a brass set, willing to prosecute them.
They want their moneyed supporters to buy tickets and seat themselves among Bush supporters and others who attend the parade. And they will disrupt as much as they can, from their perches along the parade.
They will be in the Black Tie & Boots ball, I can smell it. And they will be in the bleachers along the parade. And they will be standing with the rest of the crowds along the parade route. Their past disruptive actions at DNC and RNC conventions, and at other Capitol Hill hearings is our warning that they will incite trouble wherever they can on January 20th. If anyone reading this is going to the balls or the parades, be alert for troublemakers, and let the LEOs know as soon as you see signs of trouble. There will be LEOs everywhere in DC on January 20th; when you arrive at whatever events you attend, take a moment to visually locate the LEOs - you may need them at a moment's notice.
US, Iraq pledge funds to rebuild Fallujah. 09/12/2004. ABC News Online

US, Iraq pledge funds to rebuild Fallujah
US Navy officials say more than $A158 million has been committed by the US and Iraqi governments for reconstruction in Iraq's Al-Anbar province, which includes the battered city of Fallujah.
They say over half of the money is to come from the Iraqi Government during the remainder of fiscal year 2004 and in 2005.
"Money continues being added," US navy Commander Steven Stefani said.
The fighting, which continues in pockets in Fallujah's south, drove most of the city's 250,000 people from their houses.
Commander Stefani says an estimated one in three homes has been damaged "to the point where people should not move into them".
Other Bavy officials estimate that between five and 10 per cent of Fallujah's buildings have been destroyed in the fighting, which left blocks of burned-out shop fronts and gutted homes.
Estimates on the total number of buildings in the city vary greatly from around 21,000 to 50,000.
Marine civil affairs units are making damage assessments throughout the city and progress has been made in restoring some key infrastructure like water and power.
No date has been set yet for the return of Fallujah's residents - that decision will be made by the interim Iraqi Government.
However, officers charged with reconstruction efforts say the flow of people back into the city will be tightly controlled.
Officials say as the city is cleared of insurgents and unexploded ordnance, announcements will be made that heads of families will be allowed back district-by-district to inspect their homes and businesses.
"We want to get certain people, particularly the heads of families, to come in and have a look and make damage claims," Commander Stefani said.
"The Government wants people to come in and have a look."
Addresses on food ration cards issued before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq will be used to verify each family resides in the district being opened.
US navy Rear Admiral Raymond Alexander says military personnel will be in the city to hand out damage claims forms.
"If their house is damaged, we're going to let them turn in a claim. Their house may be gone, do they want to rebuild or take that cheque and go somewhere else?" he said.
Rear Admiral Alexander says residents will be bussed into the city to look at their homes before being returned to Fallujah's outskirts, where they will be allowed to park their cars.
"People will be bussed from outside into their neighbourhoods to allow them to get back into their homes, take whatever they want, get back on the bus and take it to their cars and go back to wherever they're staying," he said.
Marines stationed in the city warn that violence will likely spike as insurgents hiding among the refugees renew their fight against US and Iraqi forces.
Senior military commanders acknowledge it will be impossible to screen out every insurgent trying to return to Fallujah.

Now how do you suppose she thinks she's going to get back into this country through US customs?
