"Stone attributes the rise in child fighters in the country, in part, to the pressure that the U.S. buildup of troops has placed on the influx of the foreign fighters"

Other causes for the increase in detentions may be that U.S. forces are simply coming into contact with more children because of the troop buildup, and that financial pressures may have pushed some Iraqi families toward the militants.

For all you liberals out there who don't want to think of us winning . . . . . .

The most dangerous thing on the battlefield is no longer a second lieutenant with a map - it’s a pre-teen Mooj boy with a cel phone.

They watched the gate as we rolled out, and called their contacts. They begged for candy and watched our reactions. The kids can be wired to command-detonate just as easily as any martyr.

Of course MSM is going to claim that our soldiers are killing innocent children just playing soldier with real AK-47s.

Why are we holding prisoners? Just shoot the little b@st@rds in the back of the head and be done with it.

Otherwise the little sh@ts will grow up and try to kill you a second time (or third, or fourth).

Give the rat b@st@rds the ‘paradise’ they crave. ASAP!

They are having the captured boys taught to read Arabic and English, taught Iraqi history and civics, and letting them read Harry Potter in Arabic. The latter is a stroke of genius. Harry is proven to be addictive for young readers and is a much more interesting and better written story than the Deatheater’s manual they’ve been force fed. Harry is not only a healthy addiction (anyone who says otherwise is as deluded as those expecting 72 virgins) he is a great teacher for all the good things we value.

"As our operations have increased, Al Qaeda [in Iraq] and others have used more minors in the fight against us, and in the process we have detained more and more juveniles," Stone said.

The LA Slimes has now taken to altering the context of the comments of our military Generals in the field, as if they don't know what they really meant to say. Maj Gen. Stone said Al Qaeda and that is what he meant, because whether they are “in Iraq” or elsewhere, they are one and the same.

If this isn't proof that the MSM's prime objective is to separate Iraq from the War on Terrorism, then I don't know what is.
