Children Used in Iraq Homicide Bombing

Had this story yesterday.

If it's against the laws of God, man, or war these despicable creatures will not only do it, but they'll regard it as a preferred tactic.

#12  Off Topic: (Sort of)

Today, I was over at my favorite Middle East food store talking with the owner's daughter. I used to admonish her for the strong anti-Muslim feelings she expressed, her being a Syrian Christian and all. More recently, I have had to begin agreeing with her about some issues.

I'm sure most of you remember that several months ago a 19 year-old San Diegan soldier was shot through the heart while handing out candy to Iraqi children.

It turns out the woman at the store is a personal friend of his family.

He was their only son.

All I could do was implore her to extend my deepest sympathies and gratitude, then almost dash out of the shop as my vision clouded over.

#11  The current level of Iraq coverage UK-side seems to be almost minimal, please correct me if I'm wrong, so don't expect to hear about this much on the MSM at all.

The whole of this week, the BBC is doing TV specials on the News from Iraq pointing out clapped out 20 year old choppers, no-go areas, and everybody has to fly everywhere; but not the 40 yr old heads on 20 yr shoulders on limited budgets, whilst Britain gets flogged to the highest bidder back home by asses who shake Mugabe's hand.
Any positive word is backed onto by... their failure to secure; not a word about who is stirring it, and keeping the war going, and which war it is, GWOT.

It's like they don't even see the dots and the little numbers next to them, or maybe they're just counting backwards towards being proper dhimmis in a caliphate. Whatever. Their pain is less if they bury it on page 32 on a need-to-know basis.

We won't see this.

#10  I would be interested to hear what fat Rosie O'Donnel has to say about this, but I already know her response. This would be Bush's fault since the Koranimals would never be put in this position if the US had not invaded and occupied their country. Hag.

#9  Nope, not. Gonna. Happen.

Assuming that some sort of Beslan-level outrage happened on U.S. soil, the liberals would just say, "Look at what we made them do! We're so evil!"

Don't pretend it wouldn't happen.

#6  This comes as no suprise considering Beslan showed Islams true colors.

Yup, JerseyMike, Beslan is what confirmed for me that Islam poses a unique and fatal danger to all Infidels. I'm glad this article has been run again today. It needs massive publicity. The intentional slaughter of children represents something beyond terrorism. Such blatant disregard for the sanctity of even the most innocent human life goes to the roots of all humanity's survival, Muslim or otherwise.

As I mentioned yesterday, when Islam finally commits their one last stupendous atrocity and the West teeters on the brink of massive nuclear retaliation, incidents like Beslan and yesterday's will only serve to disinhibit those who have to make the final agonizing choice.

It is in this way that Islam foredooms itself without any assistance from the West.

#5  Should be the biggest story of the war. But since they did'nt humiliate the children, it's not so bad, right MSM?

#4  On the plus side, this will really piss off the Iraqis, and firm up their resolve against these assholes.

#3  This comes as no suprise considering Beslan showed Islams true colors. I really, really hate all things koranimal.
It won't happen, but God forbid, think of the propaganda coup they would reap if we blasted one of those car bombs with kids in the back. I wouldn't put it past those murderous scumbags if they try to draw fire.
Watch in disgust the reporting that would get in the BBC & AP.

#2  I remember when these bastards used someone with Down's Syndrome to deliver a bomb. That was the day I knew there was no evil they wouldn't stoop to and that free men had no choice but to fight them tooth and nail to the death. This latest atrocity doesn't surprise me at all.

#1  Yesterday it was an AFP story; today the BBC.

That's progress.
