| Iraqi childrens hands cut off for selling soldiers sodas: Marines |
| 2004-09-20 |
| Along the Syrian border is a small town called Husaybah. Though diminutive in size, it has seen its fair share of violent clashes between United States Marines and terrorist insurgents. Marines from 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, know this first hand. They take home with them the vivid memories of a fierce encounter. "We were getting small-arms fire, machine-gun fire and mortared on a regular basis for the entire time we were there," said Lance Cpl. Austin T. Herbel, an assaultman for Weapons Platoon, Company L. "The locals were afraid to help us because the terrorist would kill anyone who helped us," said Lance Cpl. Andrew Y. Tuttle, another assaultman for Weapons Platoon. "It was so bad that children would get their hands cut off for selling us sodas," added Lance Cpl. Joshua J. Rutherford, a machine gunner for Weapons Platoon. |

| #4 A6134 - Yeah... tell that to the Isreali's who lost loved ones to 'little martyrs'...... It could have been worse --- they could have placed woman's panties on the children's heads. (according to the mainstream media... who have yet to report this.) |

| #3 But every self-loathing American would tell you that when it comes to comparing family values, the arab/muslim culture is superior to the American culture in the love for their children. They would tell you that arab/muslims love and place their children above anything else! |
