"...Officials with Central Command would not comment on the reported civilian deaths. Fowler said that it was "possible" the five were noncombatants and the military was investigating. "It isn't just killing people," Fowler said. "My soldiers are very good. We're trying to help, too. We're here to help these people." " help them not to live?

=======================

Lets see now its hard to keep track but this must be at least the 20th major "revision" to the Bush regimes propaganda effort in Iraq. My two favorites were/are: Bush saying major comabt is over (we won) and when he said "we found weapons of mass destruction". Of course major combat is not over niether did we win, and now Bush is trying to tell people two trailers which among other uses might be used to make biological weapons.
Oh yeh and from Ari Fliecher "the aircraft carrier was to far out to be reached by helicoptor"and on and
