"Every one of these God-damned, child-killing orcs."

They are like orcs! And if we don't defeat them, the world will "fall into shadow."

"blasts are so powerful they disintegrate people into walls and blast bodies onto roofs as hight as four or five stories."

Absolutley disgusting. The devil/muhammed worshipping allah freaks couldn't care less as long as they get their demonic vision of paradise on earth fulfilled. If that happens, I bet they will set up daily bomb-fests where they group 500 Christian children into a pen with C-4 explosives.

My pity is for these children and their famalies who have already suffered enough under Saddam. I see lots of posts of people saying "better there then here in our schools." We are all living on the same earth and kids being slaughtered there is just as bad as it happening here.

Unspeakable evil. The good news, if you can call it that, is that these murders have further separated the terrorists from the normal Iraqis. The bastards who did this will be ratted out.

- The dead bodies of four children are seen at a hospital in Fallujah, Iraq, Thursday Sept. 30, 2004. The children died when the car they were travelling in allegedly came under fire from U.S. forces, whereby the driver lost control and the car fell into a stream near Fallujah, Thursday . Eyewitness Hussein Alwan said that the U.S. military personnel stopped locals from assisting the drowning people, leading to the death of the four children along with two other women travelling in the car. The wounded driver was later rescued. The U.S. military media liason personnel said in Baghdad that they were unaware of any such incident. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)

"It is time for them to stand up for their own children! "

That is exactly right.

An Iraqi soldier, Ahmed Ali, breaks down after seeing the dead bodies of several children

Ahmed Ali now has a reason to hate the enemy. This sort of thing will make the Iraqi army strong.

As long as we fight this war in a selective and restrained manner this will continue until we leave.

Do you suggest, perhaps, indiscriminate bombings, perhaps of large groups of children? That will certainly show them.... Not to mention saving the terrorists time and money in setting up their own bombs.

There does not seem to be any significant difference between your suggestion, and the actions of the terrorists who committed these murders. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Rumsfeld acknowledges insurgents have gained in Iraq

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Insurgents are succeeding through bombings and assassinations in convincing some Iraqis that the US-led effort to establish democracy in Iraq "is not going to work," US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said.

In a radio interview Wednesday, Rumsfeld said he believed Iraqis and the US-led coalition still had a "very good crack" at creating a democratic system but acknowledged that the growing violence has taken a toll on public confidence, and gained insurgents a following.

"But there's no doubt but that they (the insurgents) are being successful in some instances in making people believe that its not going to work in Iraq, that they're not going ready for freedom, that they're not ready," he told WCHS-AM radio in Charleston, West Virginia.

"And some of those people undoubtedly are joining the opposition -- the former regime elements that are fighting it," he said.

"They may also be attracting some people in from other countries because of the hope they have of preventing a democracy there," he said.

Rumsfeld's comments followed other recent admissions by top administration and military officials that the insurgency in Iraq was growing worse, despite President George W. Bush's upbeat portrayal of the situation during a visit last week by Iraqi interim prime minister Iyad Allawi.

As he has before, Rumsfeld noted that Iraqis were still volunteering to serve in the security forces and reporting to work in government ministries despite car bombings and assassinations that have claimed the lives of many Iraqis.

US military leaders have said about 700 members of the Iraqi security services have been killed this year. There is no count of the civilian toll from the violence, but estimates run into the thousands.

"I mean, it depends on your definition of a success," Rumsfeld said when asked whether the insurgents were having success.

"If you successfully kill a regional governor or a chief of police, if you successfully do that, why I suppose you can say that was a success from a murderer and a terrorist standpoint," he said.

"If they can disrupt things, they feel they've been successful," he said.

WHAT A CROCK OF SH*T!!!!!! Translation: Al Zarqawi calls Al Jazeera network and tells them to broadcast this "supposed incident."

"I bet they will set up daily bomb-fests where they group 500 Christian children into a pen with C-4 explosives. "

It would not surprise me at all. It's not the first time such people have held sway in civilization. I recall a story told by a soldier who helped liberate a Nazi prison camp. He said he had apprehended a high ranking Nazi's wife who had settled into the practice of allowing her dog to run down, kill and eat Jewish children in the camps.

The terrorists are every bit as evil as Nazis and would kill every American on the face of the earth if they get the chance. I don't think there are enough Americans who really GET IT quite yet.

Thirty-five children slaughtered?
It's imperative the earth be rid of such scourge as those who embrace and the institutions that support this kind of barbarism.

The only reason they'd go after Moslem kids is to terrorize Moslems, which they'd only want to do if they were supporting us.

Have any of the former HUMAN SHIELDS, who went to Iraq last year because they simply loved the people, have any statement about this?

Good question. Will the human shields run over now to do their 'shielding'? No, because they know it is the terrorists who are murderers, not the US.

True islamite justice would have the perpetrators' and the abettors' families hunted down and eliminated. Maybe it's time to apply a little of their own "sense" of justice....

Your grasp of strategy and tactics are astounding. But not so much that you would win a game of RISK against a 10 year old.

He most likely has plenty of reasons already. I'm sure there are very few Iraqi soldiers who have not been touched with the death of their fellow soldiers or even family members.

It's no coincidence that these terrorists did this evil act as the Iraqis were celebrating some progress in their country (a sewer no less). They are vermin.
