An eight-year-old girl strapped with explosives has blown up and killed an Iraqi army captain, reports say.
The bomb was detonated by remote control, injuring four soldiers in addition to the one who died, an Iraqi Army spokesman said.
Local authorities imposed a curfew in the area and American troops launched a search for those responsible.
US soldiers have not confirmed that a young girl was involved in the attack, which took place near Youssifiyah, south of the capital, Baghdad.

If there's anything positive we can take away from this, it's that they're getting desperate.
To: moderatewolverine
The girl did not have the ability to refuse. This is child abuse and murder on the part of the death cult members. It’s obvious that NO death cult member should EVER be allowed into this country.

They use children, women, and the mentally disabled as suicide bombers.
But as the NYT would tell you -- we're the bad guys. We should just leave and allow the terrorists to take over the whole place. We should do it for the children, I suppose.

I'd love to meet and spend a few hours with the adult men who strapped the explosives to this little girl.
I'd make sure they went much, much slower than this child did.

I’m surprised they didn’t resort to using girls and/or women earlier, since boys and men are considered so much more important and valuable over there.

"If there's anything positive we can take away from this, it's that they're getting desperate."Same thing the Palis do...drug up the kids so they're barely ambulatory, send them in to do the adults' dirty work, and then detonate them by remote...and Democrats LOVE these terrorists!

What a sad world it is when we have to continually make a case for fighting a war against these wicked people.
We shouldn’t even have to “make a case” for complete extermination of such vermin. Annihilation should be a foregone conclusion.

To: Travis McGee
The girl is most likely unaware she had a bomb on her, remote detonation tells me they tricked her into getting close to the target, told to ask for candy and BOOM.
Hadn;t heard of this tactic since Vietnam era fighting.
They probably want to coax soldiers into shooting younger suicide bombers.
Not only do they kill their targets, but it can be used as propaganda for more recruitment.
Extremely slick and cruel.
This enemy is more determined than any other.
Meanwhile obama wants to pull out.

Obviously, there's no immediate outrage among the various American media, the assorted pundits and writers representing both parties or the leaders and candidates of both parties.
The obamanible tactics of our enemy are now merely routine blips on the radar screen.

But you just said that this little girl was innocent.

Didn't somebody write that the children may be orphans, whose parents may have been killed during fighting between government troops and Shiites loyal to Sadr.
Regardless, they do instruct their children starting when they can speak, to hate Jews and American infidels.

Afghan teacher killed for preaching against suicide bombing
KABUL: An Afghan teacher who preached against suicide bombings was killed by unknown armed men in the northern part of the country, officials said on Wednesday.
The school teacher was killed by gunfire in Archi district of the northern province of Kunduz Tuesday night, said Juma Khan, the administrative chief of the district. [snip]
He said the teacher had recently condemned the wave of suicide bombings in the country and termed them as “un-Islamic” during a speech at a gathering in the district.

This is NOT a suicide bombing. The blast was detonated remotely making it murder, and that poor child was just a victim, along with the Captain and other soldiers.

This is child abuse and murder on the part of the death cult members. Well, at last this means that the Democrats should come around to our side! I mean, they are so against child abuse that I run the risk of prison if I spank my child on the backside once, certainly now they will be behind the war effort.

I have an eight year old little girl. This was not a “suicide” bombing. Absolutely no way on earth she “knew” what she was doing. This is abject murder. We must defeat the evil of Islam. Period. Obama as President would show me that this country has learned absolutely NOTHING about the evils of Islam and we’ll be doomed to failure in this war.

Well, yeah, ALLEGEDLY they get hold of orphans, but other terrorists just choose a kid, drug them and send them in. A lot of terrorist nests in the PA terrortories brainwash their children from birth to blow up. That cartoon about wanting to “blow up just like daddy” is the absolute best of satire: because it’s the absolute truth. So there’s no telling where they got this girl. They probably kidnapped her off the street.
