Probably about this age.

Definitely 2012 Election ad material.
Boy the list on the “TO DO” list for the new Repub Congress is getting longer.
“These waivers allow the United States to continue to conduct valuable training programs.”
Are these training programs provided by the U.S. actually training Children?
Can someone please explain the Khadr charges to me? Do all POW’s go through military trials?
“Can’t see Hillary complying with this. She’s not THAT evil.”
Maybe this is what she needs to resign. She could make hay with this one.
Dear God. If Bush did this, we’d never hear the end of it. With Obama at the helm...crickets.
This hits close to home. My former church small group leaders here in Durham lost their son (Nate Henn) in the Uganda terrorist bombings earlier this year. Nate was over there with a group called Invisible Children that works to free exactly the kind of child soldiers that these sanctions were designed to eradicate. The sick irony is that Nate was working to get child soldiers out of a supposedly-Christian terrorist army called the Lord’s Resistance Army...but he died at the suicide vest of a Muslim bastard while watching the World Cup in a village.
Good Christian men like Nate Henn are living and dying in Africa, right now, to try and save these kids. And our own Obama government doesn’t even have the damn decency to enforce ITS OWN SANCTIONS.
Here’s your hope and change, liberals. Drink it to the dregs.

The United States allows 17 year olds to enlist with their guardians permission. These activists consider those people to be child soldiers. Are they?
“I cannot wait to hear Olbermann’s “Special Comment” on this/sarc”
Should be interesting....indeed! Ahhhh but wait....he’ll probably IGNORE the entire thing. Gotta cover up the negative. Right?
From the second paragrpah of the article “Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen.”
Okay, missed that, but my larger point was correct.
Except we’re not talking 17-year-olds with their parent’s permission. The child soldiers in Africa (especially the DRC, Sudan, Uganda, etc.) are more like fourteen. Or twelve. Or YOUNGER. These terrorist outfits like the Lord’s Resistance Army swoop down on villages, kill the men and carry the women and children off. The women are kept as servants and sex slaves, and the children are indoctrinated to fight. There’s thousands of them in central Africa right now.

People, please! Remember, Lord 0 is a super chess genius and loving, liberal pragmatist to boot. It’s fine with the Lib media and community/human rights groups that this should happen on his watch. After all, he’s a black(well, partially, allegedly)Dim. His color combined with political affiliation has excused everything else up to this point.
This is going to be like garlic, a wooden stake, and a silver crucifix to Obama supporters. Or is it? Populist’s supporters are a very forgiving lot.
Yeah, I agree. She could exploit this.
Still, let’s be frank here. Obama’s set of background advisers isn’t much different than Hillary’s would be.
If he’s doing this, Maud Clinton would probably do the same thing.
Just doing his part to boost their numbers for jihad!!! One muslim brother to another!!!
No surprise. Muslims don't have a problem with the concept of using children to kill.
Looks like another subtle salvo in the under-the-radar duel between the two.
Remember when she took her first public pot shot at one of his policies a month or so ago? I can't remember exactly what it was.
It's going to be fun to watch what happens in this weirdly-incestuous relationship after election results set in.
