U.S. Troops Discover And Rescue Orphan Boys Left Starving, Chained To Beds

Exactly, but these fools fail to see that.

 

That would be a "no" for AGS as well. Both, demonstrating they don't care about anything other than blame, as I noted in the OP.

 

It is not a blame game, it is an honest description of reality.

Who controls the orphanage? Iraq government.
Who put the Iraq government in power and controls it? U.S. government.
Who is to be blamed for this?

 

Thanks for making the point again for me. It isn't about blame. It's about expressing a little humanity and simply saying, "I'm glad the US troops found those kids before they died." But I supppose that is simply beyond you?

 

It is about not ignoring what is happening to thousands and thousands of other children. It was just couple of days ago that U.S. forces in Afghanistan consciously decided to kill seven children because they hoped to kill one Taliban commander.

 

So let me get this straight. You cannot say a single nice thing about US soldiers finding some kids before they died in an orphanage, but you condemn the US for killing kids and a terrorist leader at a terrorist training camp. Interesting. You're priorities are dead on; as usual.

Still don't care about who is actually killing people in Iraq do you? Who are blowing up schools, hospitals, markets and using retarded kids as bombs, huh?

Care to try again? "It was a good thing that US Soldiers found those kids before they died."

Feel free to copy and paste.

 

Like these children? We know what it's about for you

A bad word for the US, but never a bad word for your buds, eh?

 

What is your point?

Do you mean if other people kill children then it is bad but if American military kill children then it is good?

I condemn killing of ALL children, how about you?

 

Probably that's why you should see this as good news

 

You just made it for me...again. Never a bad word...

 

You still haven't answered the question if you care about the children that were killed by U.S. Army or do you think it is just fine and good.

Do you condemn all killing of children or just some of it?

 

Hmmm... Just one question, how many of you have been there?

 

You're correct, I didn't. You used it as your shield to cover up for blaming anyone but those responsibile and then avoiding yet another opportunity to say something bad about your buds with the last link I posted.

Did you think you were fooling anyone with that typical tactic of yours?

Now, demand that I answer it again, while ignoring the fact that your statement of shield doesn't hold up to your posts in this thread. I dare you

Heh, gworld trying to take a high moral ground

 

And you are as usual taking the low moral ground, cheering and supporting the killing of some children while using the saving of some other children as a propaganda tool.

I condemn ALL killing of children, how about you? Why are you such a coward and don't dare to honestly state your opinion that you are fine with the killing of children if it is done by U.S. army?

 

Another shield? Not a peep directly, just a blanket statement like those of CAIR.

Lame strategy gworld, to shield yourself from saying a bad word.

 

It is so easy to say, just repeat after me:

" I CONDEMN ALL KILLING OF CHILDREN "

That's of course if you care about children but if you are OK with the killings, I understand that you have no desire to post this.

 

I agree. Why was it so hard for you?

 

Yeah, why can't he say "I am glad they found and saved the children".

Seems to me someone here has a problem.

 

I have no problem with it:

"I am glad they found and saved the children".

Now try to ask Gtech if he can say:

" I CONDEMN ALL KILLING OF CHILDREN "

 

The government is not responsible for this. They were actually supplying a large amount of food and supplies which were in turn being sold on the black market by the cruel caretakers.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's office responded by ordering the arrest of all involved...source

I really am not understanding how a few people in this thread are twisting this story into something negative about the US, the US soldiers saved these boys lives and that is something wonderful and they should be congratulated.

The men of the 82nd Airborne and the civil affairs team that came to the rescue of these boys were clearly moved by what they found here. Some even wept as they confronted the full horror before them. In the blistering Iraqi sun, reaching temperatures over 100 degrees every day, boys were tied to chairs and fences and deprived even of water for days at a time. They were dehydrated and weak to the point of death.

How could you take the most vulnerable children and subject them to such torture? That was on the mind of every soldier that saw what was done in this terrible place, where the caretaker's air-conditioned office stood neat and tidy, carpets lining the floor, a computer at his desk. The brand new cribs still had the plastic on their unused mattresses.

The local Iraqi council members who were called to the scene by the U.S. soldiers also wept at the sight. In fact, the head of the council continued to cry over and over as I interviewed him about what he'd seen. A woman on the council described how she had bought cake for the children and fed it to them at the hospital when they were being treated later that night.
