IRAQ: Aww, Isn't That Nice

A conservative on another message board presented this to me as an "uplifting Thanksgiving story". This picture goes with it, of an American soldier comforting an Iraqi child (note the scars on her shaven head):























Now here's the warm, happy story behind the picture:

Got a tough, but heartwarming story and a picture of
John Gebhardt in Iraq. For those that did not know
John, he was our former Med Group Chief, Dave
Nordel replaced him. Anyway, his wife talked with
mine last evening and sent this picture. Mindy related
that this little girl's entire family was executed. They
intended to execute her also and shot her in the head
but they failed to kill her.

If this is the "good news" coming out of our occupation. . .
