IRAQI CHILD SHOT WHILE POINTING AN AK-47 AT U.S. FORCES

AR RAMADI, Iraq – Elements of the 1st Infantry Division conducted a mission in Ar Ramadi today. While on patrol, the soldiers witnessed two men with weapons running into a nearby residence. The soldiers followed the men in order to apprehend them for questioning.

Upon approaching the house, a seven-year-old child came out with an AK-47 rifle pointed at the soldiers. A soldier responded in self-defense and shot the child in the foot. The child was rushed to the nearest army medical facility for treatment and further evacuated by air to Baghdad.

This incident is currently under investigation.

Thanks!!!!

I think my coffee would EAT the rounds before it could be stirred.
I'm told by some not used to my coffee that it mugged their intestines.
8-0
Of course, I know they're joking somewhat, but I know that's somewhat what it feels like it's doing the first mug around.
(Of course, I've heard tell of my brew being modified with Bailey's IC, Vodka, or other possibly flammable substances.)

...."That was about tweleve years ago and it scared me".....

First, get a .22LR semi auto.

Then, get a "brick"(500 rounds).

Go somewhere legal to shoot.

Then, put on your ear protection and use up the whole brick.

After you have mastered that, graduate to something larger, like an AK or M-16 type weapon. Work your way up to a 30.06 or 7 mag.

Whenever I hear such stories, it reminds me of men handing women a 12ga pump with a slug or buck shot to make themselves feel more like a man when she never wants to shoot again. Maybe it's for self protection when he comes home drunk smelling of perfume.

FReep me the recipe as I ain't going to be responsible for it on the Internet!!!!!!

I have a steak marinade that I will send in return!

IMHO - for that kind of shooting target (subsonic) ammo is a lot easier on the ears.

[GeekDejure]

I suspect there is a special place in hell for such men.

Yeah... they each get 72 pissed-off West Virgina lesbians in their Islamic Pair o' Dice !!! ;-))

*Slaps face*
I really should quit writing short story fiction.
I get too many ideas from FR..

[snippy_about_it]

One should have a cast iron stomach before trying your coffee, imo. Not to mention you should plan on being awake quite awhile!

[Darksheare]

Oh no!!
I wrote Engrish!
It's WEAR monsterfoot boots..
UGh!
And there's even the preview and spelling chicken buttons there to use!

How much duct tape did she use to keep them britches up......:o)

[Darksheare]

Eaker is about to try my brew.
Any advice for him?

[nicmarlo]

Sounds like they ran in, gave the kid a gun, and sent him outside to run interference while the ran out the back door.

That's what I was thinking....

I suspect there is a special place in hell for such men.

There is, but apparently even Christ didn't want to go into details:

Luke 17:
2 "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

I can see this as a new tactic being used against the coalition. If the Iraqi's and the rest of the Islamafascists can accuse American soldiers of killing children they will have more sympathy for their cause of attacking coalition forces. The arabs are very good at distorting images(al jazeera, al arabiya)

[Eaker]

How much duct tape did she use to keep them britches up......:o)

About a dozen staples!!!!

In Vietnam we had kids of all ages to watch out for. Walk up to a jeep (M151 series) or 3/4 t truck and drop a frag into the gas tank after they pulled the pin with a rubber band holding the spoon down. Sure screwed up the day for many a GI.

Bump!
