#9  The twelve-year-old grabbed a baby. I call that good training.
It is also a compliment to American morality that the bastards can depend on it with such certainty.

#8  They pulled the same crap in Iraq by booby-trapping toys,

In Iraq they love their children -- they'd had a long time to contrast with the Iranians sending their sons to clear the mine fields -- and that was a big piece of what lost Iraq for both Al Qaeda and their allies the Ba'athist remnant. Do the Afghans feel the same way about their children? The Pakistanis do not seem to be, given so many are sent off to abusive madrassahs for years and years.

#7  Nonsense, Frank. The UN in general only investigates the US and Israel. All other countries, groups and religions are exempt.

#4  They pulled the same crap in Iraq by booby-trapping toys, handing them out to children and sending the children into populated areas. It's a wonder our guys didn't lose their minds seeing this shit day in and day out.

#3  Procopius, that would apply to a civilised, or semi-civilised, foe. It doesn't apply to Jihadis.

#2  old military adage - when they start sending out their old men and the children, they're near the end of their reserves.
