You can all guess where this goes! :whatever:
Mosul, Iraq - American soldiers opened fire and killed a 12-year old boy after a grenade hit their convoy in Mosul on Thursday.
The boy was found with ten thousand Iraqi dinars in his hand - worth less than $9. U.S. officials said the money is evidence of a disturbing new trend.
"We have every reason to believe that insurgents are paying children to conduct these attacks or assist the attackers in some capacity, undoubtedly placing the children in harm's way," a U. S. military spokesman wrote in an email on Saturday.
But eyewitnesses said the boy, identified as Omar Musa Salih, was standing by the side of the road selling fruit juice - a common practice in Iraq - and had nothing to do with the attack.

but at the same time you have to think what it would be like to have a grenade thrown at you and what your own response would be. Sit there pondering what do I do next or take action to prevent any possible continuation of the attack.

IMO, you're posts are always a waste of bandwidth.
In Japan, hotdogs are used in bento boxes and are often sliced to resemble an octopus.
Yes how dare U.S troops protect their own lives! :whatever:

Not a word about the insurgents using children, so they stay out of harms way. Patriots, aren't they?

If they're old enough to teach perverted sex to, they're old enough to fight a war.

If the dummies had their way, a 12 year old would be able to have an abortion without telling her parents. Throw a grenade, have an abortion.

Yeah, but to them, killing an American child is a responsible way to reduce your carbon footprint. :banghead:

Anyone see any posts on the shooting at Camp Liberty yet? I'm sure that is going to be some disgusting shit.

They never said a thing about it either in 1993 when Aideed was doing the same thing in Somalia for no other reason than to hope that one of would shoot the kid and create a media incident.
