Suicide Bomber Kills Kids As They Receive Toys From US Troops
Unable to tolerate good news like the 75% reduction in civilian casualties in Baghdad, terrorists resort to their despicable tactic of high profile cowardice. This time its kids getting toys from US troops.
How, in God’s name, can they possibly believe that they are on the side of righteousness?
BAGHDAD- A suicide bomber detonated his explosives as American soldiers were handing out toys to children northeast of Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least three children and three of the troopers, U.S. and Iraqi authorities said.
Seven children were wounded in the attack in Baqouba, where U.S. soldiers wrested control from al-Qaida in Iraq last summer.
Police said the attack occurred as U.S. soldiers were handing out toys, sports equipment and other treats in a playground near Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.
Few details were available, but the U.S. military said it was a “suicide vest attack” and that three American soldiers were killed.
Rasoul Issam, 16, said he and his friends were playing soccer when the U.S. soldiers called to them from their vehicles to come get gifts.
“We ran toward them and I caught a ball when suddenly an explosion took place about 20 meters (yards) from us,” Issam said from his hospital bed in Baqouba.
Mohammed Sabah, 11, was hit by shrapnel in his hand and chest.
“The soldiers gave me pens and I thanked them. After this the explosion took place and I was hit by shrapnel,” he said. “The second thing I remember is being in the hospital.”
The military cast blame on al-Qaida in Iraq.
“This is another example of how AQI cares nothing about the Iraqi people. They will kill children to meet their goals,” said Maj. Peggy Kageleiry, a spokeswoman for U.S. forces in northern Iraq.
Iraqi children frequently converge on American troops who usually carry soccer balls and stuffed animals crammed in their armored vehicles as they seek to garner good will.

Sadly, when people reach this level of depravity they lose touch with reality. The Holy Bible speaks of this in depth in the first chapter of Romans and is spot on accurate with what we see happening daily inside of Islam. We are witnessing full blown evil much like those who witnessed the Holocaust did and I can only hope that the world wakes up to the threat of Islam.

These low-lifes serve a lesser god. That would be the old moon god called Allah. People who serve Al-Shatain, call good evil; and evil good. That’s how. They are blind guides.

destined for a final exit where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Only they’re too stupid to figure it out.
We sent so many small stuffed animals for my son to pass out on his patrols cause the kids would follow them chanting their names and asking for chocolate all the time.
November 18th, 2007 at 4:47 pm(Amazing how the left still does not see it that way. They think negotiating with the terrorists is the way to go.) I agree with Steve in NC: Kill them all. No mercy. They have none so they will get none. No prisoners. No more questions.
Prayers for the fallen soldiers and the innocent children who died in that brutal senseless attack.
November 18th, 2007 at 5:17 pmThe people who did this are scum and dserve to catch Ebola mixed with Flesh eating strep.
As to the kids and soldiers killed and injred, I am so sorry for all of you and I wish this had not happend. 
November 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pmIt is a sign of their desperation. Such acts only assure them a well earned place in Hell.
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea”
November 18th, 2007 at 5:42 pmSo, when can we expect the Democrat leadership in our country, i.e. Dingy Harry, Stretch Pelosi, Dickey Durbin etc, to speak out and condemn this enemy???? Or would that not a politically viable move on their part??? Try the all for treason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18th, 2007 at 6:31 pmI’m sure Benedict Harry and Tokyo Rose Pelosi blame the troops. Sadly, we do not try to discover who these suicide bombers are so that we can remove their homes, their families, their schools, their mosques, their cities and their countries until suicide bombing is never heard of again.
November 18th, 2007 at 8:02 pmTruly evil. If I didn’t know human nature, I wouldn’t think that people were capable of such despicable behavior.
Killing children… how dare they.
