I saw that photo, but it was probably on Al Jazeera or a UK website. I saw a lot of horrible shit on videos and pics of the Iraq war that you would never find on mainstream media. It's easier to get support for a war when you don't see the innocent humans you are killing.

I didn't realize that pic was from the first Iraq war (Bush Sr.'s war). But I know I've seen it before.

Except this guy wasn't innocent in any way. These were men perhaps responsible for the war crimes including http://www.wnd.com/2003/04/18117/ some listed there. Perhaps this man was the guy killing Kuwaitis with powerdrills? Maybe that is why he decided to run instead of surrender. He was part of the convoy of invading soldiers. They were all allowed to surrender and face justice, instead they chose to run away back to their country where they could start trouble again another day. The photographer didn't have all of the information about who these troops were and what they had done. Years later with all of the intel gathered and crimes recorded we can say the troops in this convoy had done some awful things and probably died an easier, quicker death than what they did to some people in Kuwait.

Yeah, this was the first Gul war when they invaded Kuwait. He was most likely a soldier and not a civilian. I mistook it for the second Iraq war. BTW, I supported George Bush Sr.'s '91 Gulf war. It was the right thing to do.
