"Heroic" Iraq "freedom fighters" target crowd of children
For those who still believe that the "Iraqi insurgency" is anything other than Islamofascist terorists, for those who still want to believe Michael Moore's ignorant assessment of these murderous thugs as nationalist resistance to occupation, or freedom fighters, the equivalent of our revolutionary war Minute Men:
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A car bomber sped up to American soldiers distributing candy to children and detonated his explosives Wednesday, killing up to 27 other people, U.S. and Iraqi officials said. One U.S. soldier and about a dozen children were among the dead.
At least 21 others, including three U.S. soldiers, were wounded in the attack, the second major homicide bombing in Baghdad this week. A bomber killed 25 people Sunday at an Iraqi army recruiting center.
The fireball from Wednesday's blast also set a nearby house ablaze, the U.S. military said. The attack stunned the impoverished east Baghdad neighborhood of mostly Shiite Muslims and Christians.
At Kindi hospital, where many of the dead and injured were taken, one distraught woman swathed in black sat cross-legged outside the operating room. "May God curse the mujahedeen and their leader," she cried as she pounded her own head in grief.
Hospitals and police said between 11 and 13 children were killed. Authorities scrambled to compile a count of the dead and injured.
"The explosion was mainly on the children," resident Abbas Ali Jassim said.
Sorry Mikey, but it's a little tough to imagine Washington Jefferson, Adams and Franklin sitting around and deciding, "hey, let's try killing children... maybe then we'll get what we want."
The "insurgency" has nothing to do with nationalism or freedom. It's just the Islamofascist murderers doing what they do. Just like London. Just like 9/11. Like the first World Trade Center Attack, Khobar Towers, the USS Cole. Just like Casablanca, and a thousand attacks on Israel. They want to kill anyone who is not them. Christians, Jews, Muslims, men, women, children...anyone they can kill.
This is not the first time they have deliberately targeted a crowd of Iraqi children. It will probably not be the last.
