I saw this article this morning. 27 killed in car bombing in Baghdad. Mostly CHILDREN. The bastards were handing out candy to lure the kids. THE CHILDREN WERE THE TARGET!!
I'm fed up. I've seen/heard enough. It's not JUST this incident - these bastards need to be stopped. AND I completely agree with Chap on this. Completely, 100%.
"But I want a reckoning. I want people dead. I want the Syrian guy interviewed in the paper who helps anti-Iraq forces across the border dead. I want the people who donated money for their war effort and celebrated the London bombing in a kebab shop in another country in Europe to be dead, and the shop destroyed, and the insurance money stolen to make an offensive sculpture planted on what used to be the celebrator’s house."
This latest act was for the shock value. Those monsters were looking for a reaction. Well, I don't think they will get the one they were looking for.
Blackfive tells us about an Anti Terror Rally held about 10 days ago in Qayarrah. The Iraqi people are tired of the terrorists and their manipulative, demented ploys for attention . Sick and tired.
Reaction. Yeah. I've got a few ideas of my own.

It's time for them to step up to the plate and take over instead of bitching what the US isn't giving them.
Posted by: Machelle at July 14, 2005 06:22 AMThis kind of thing just breaks my heart. When my son Dan was deployed last year, I had asked him if there was anything I could send for the kids over there, because I had been sending shoes to Afghanistan and always sent goodies too. Dan said, "Mom, we almost have to be mean to these kids, just to keep them away from us." I can't imagine how hard that was to want to "win hearts and minds", but end up looking like a bad ass just to keep this little ones safe.

Posted by: pam at July 14, 2005 09:07 AMTammi, I just re-read what you posted. This is from MSNBC (hanging head in shame for reading it):
"The near simultaneous attacks occurred a day after a suicide car bomb exploded next to U.S. troops handing out candy and toys, killing 18 children and teenagers."
It was our soldiers handing out candy to the kids, and that was the reason for my earlier comment.
