This is just sad. Even kids becoming streetfighters (skilled to be able to bomb the world's most powerful fighting force, but still sad).

1. Gee, I wonder why this video was released now

So, those kids at Haditha had it coming, then?

6. Exactly n/t

9. It will take them longer to get video of a 6 month old Iraqi doing this

but when they do CNN & Fox will have it in heavy rotation.

2. I believe I was listening to the Dianne Rheam show this morning

One of her guests stated (paraphrase): When women and children are taking up arms against you ... you KNOW you are on the wrong side in a conflict.

3. Damn straight!

10. When women and children...

start blowing themselves up, THEY are on the wrong side of a conflict.

4. It's sad.

The reality is that children there live in fear of being killed at any moment, and they blame us for that as much as anyone else.

5. The right will try to demonize these kids, but if the U.S. was occupied

wouldn't they hail the parents who taught them to love and defend their country against invaders?

It's all a matter of perspective...

...with one exception...kids should never be combatants. If you're "liberating" a country and kids are throwing incendiary devices at your vehicles, that should be a sign that your plan is gravely flawed.

7. Its not like the assholes running things, werent warned repeatedly/

Most of us knew this kind of war would come to this . Now weve got atrocities going on all over Iraq, children becoming warriors against the invaders, thousands of americans coming home in bodybags and no end in sight. Its cost more than all of our world wars combined. The idiots on the right were wrong then and theyre still wrong. They dont care. They really dont. All that matters to the right is that they stay in power politically. Theyve done nothing but create more terrorism and then pretend like the results have been effective. Its pure bullshit and the sooner these assholes get thrown out of power, the better off this country will be.

8. Absolutely, assholes at the white house
