| NURSE’S DESPERATE PLEA TO BLAIR AND BUSH: GET ALI OUT | |
| 2003-04-14 | |
| THE nurse tending tragic Iraqi youngster Ali Ismaeel Abbas told Tony Blair and George Bush last night: "Airlift him out, or he will die." Ali, 12, who lost both arms when his home was bombed, is at risk of potentially fatal blood poisoning stemming from severe burns. Nurse Fatin Sharhah said he must be moved from Baghdad to a specialist unit, possibly in Kuwait hundreds of miles away. In a letter "from the bottom of my heart" to coalition leaders, she warned: "The situation is desperate. He will die if he stays. Please send one of your helicopters or planes...You have all this technology to bomb us, to make the missile that burned Ali's house. But you cannot spare one aircraft for one day to save a life?" Fatin's Saddam City hospital is one of a handful of medical centres still functioning in the capital's chaos. Ali, whose parents and younger brother died in the missile strike, is too sick to make a long journey south by road. Yes mr. Bush this would be the least you could do, think also about rescueing the victims you've made during operation liberation Iraqi

| #24 while in the spirit of telling off Murat, why not email Michael Moore, and tell him off, too. May I recommend long long emails and many of them to render his current address ineffective mike@michaelmoore.com. |

#23 Iraqi Arab genocide (sorry I meant liberation) Yep. If one can actually write the above quoted tripe and ignore the barbaric tribalism, despotism, anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, misogyny, rape, torture, murder, and just simple ignorant hate that pours from Arab and/or Muslim lands--and has for millenia--this creature has absolutely no credibility. Absolutely no credibility. |

| #22 I wonder what the hell he was hitting over the weekend to be so pissed off. Chances are that whatever it was that he was on was antithetical to Islam (TM) |

| #21 You want an apology out of Murat? You'll not get one. He is a turk and an Islamist - and neither of those 2 groups has any concept of honor, nor do they have courage to face facts. Murat is a memeber of a cowardly craven people, whose only means of coping is to try to spread lies to defend their egos from the wieght of truth that is now crushing them. |

| #20 Murat, your blatant disregard for the truth never ceases to amaze me. How can you say 'Iraqi' and 'genocide' in the same sentence without metioning Saddam?? I mean this in all sincerity ... it's not a rhetorical question: Do you really believe the tripe you spew on a regular basis, or is it a "party line" of sorts that you're touting? Most importantly, though, I'd like to know that WHEN to coalition forces MOVE OUT of Iraq (WITHOUT stealing the oil, raping the women and beating the children), and leave it better than it was when we got there ... will an apology for your grossly misplaced disdain be forthcoming?? |

| #19 Murat, The essential elimination of the indigenous people of this land is possibly the most horrific and painful memory in our (well, mine and others here) country's history. But for you to add the Koreans, Vietnamese and Iraqis to this list is utter crap and you know it. Every war does not equal genocide. If genocide were our game we could just drop a couple of nukes and be done with it. If you can't recognize the extreme efforts we have made to keep civilian and even enemy soldier casualties to a minimum then you need to pull your head out of your butt. That said, please excuse me if I think a Turk talking about American genocide is the perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black. Prove me wrong and explain the situations revolving around the Armenians, Cypriots and Kurds please. Can't? Didn't think so. |

| #18 Hey Murat, its only MONDAY and you've already managed to evoke this week's "Fuck You Murat". (drum roll please) Fuck You Murat! |

| #17 Thank you Steve, hope you are right. The rest start counting the American genocides begining with the Indians (few tribes still living in reservates), Koreans, Vietnamese and lately the Iraqi Arab genocide (sorry I meant liberation) |

| #14 Murat The Kurds will last this time, because they have the US backing them against the genocidal and racist policies of the Turkish government. |

| #12 Murat, American and Brit docs are treating everyone they see without regard to nationality. Iraqi POWs and civilians have the same access to our military medical facilities in Iraq as do our own soldiers. It's a point of honor for our guys. Turkey could, if it wished, set up a medical evac unit in Iraq and airlift casualties to Ankara or Istanbul for treatment. I know a couple of Turkish docs (they trained at my university) and I know that Turkish medicine is pretty good. The Turks could set up the evac unit at the Baghdad intl airport, and I'm sure that's something our side would allow. You might want to call your representative in the Turkish parliament and see if you can't make it happen. Finally, I'm happy to acknowledge and thank the Turks for the humanitarian aid contributed. |

| #11 To RW, I have an excerpt from our foreign ministry: "Stating that Ankara was ready to help people wounded during the war, Gul added, ‘We’ve sent 500 truckloads of food and medical aid. We also offered to send doctors and medical teams. The real problem is security. We suggested that we could transport the injured out of the country to Turkey. However, right now there are no security measures for landing or flying planes at the airports. We thought about bringing them by car or truck but this would be a long and risky road. We also thought about transporting them by helicopter but again there is no security this way either. As soon as security is established, we will bring in injured and sick people. We’ve made the necessary preparations at our hospitals.’ " What about the US, there are plenty of bombs to destroy, but no American doctors available to cure the victims of your "liberation"? |

| #8 "The Iraqi Kurds have now, almost everybody believes, innoculated themselves against this mental disease and the related diseases of Islamism, anti-Americanism, etc" And they have a sense of humor, too. When Turkey insisted that observers be sent to observe the Kurdish forces in and around Kirkuk, the Kurds response was, "Of course our Turkish brothers may come!" |

| #7 Murat joined the "it's all about oil" idiots club! Geez, some will never learn. Time to read a history book Murat. |

| #6 For anyone who's interested, the The Mirror's circulation is in steep decline, and is at it's lowest in 70 years. Not surprising given that it passes this sort of infantile tripe off as news. |

| #5 The Mahabad republic story was one of the many times the Kurds were tricked by the Communists. For some reason, the Kurds were especially susceptible to this. Many (possibly most) of the Kurdish terrorists in Turkey in the 1990s were also generally under the spell of the most psychotic marxist ideology. The Iraqi Kurds have now, almost everybody believes, innoculated themselves against this mental disease and the related diseases of Islamism, anti-Americanism, etc. Much (mabe most) of the Islamic world, however, is infected by one or more of these idiological diseases. |

| #2 Anonymus, the Kurds had their country before, the republic of Mahabad, build with Russian support it did not last longer than 6 months. With US support it will last for a year maybe. |
