AP still refusing to call terrorists, "terrorists"; instead opting for the more affectionate "militants."

I was just glancing at FOX, at the footage from inside the gym, shot by the terrorists. Did I see them wiring Claymores? Wasn't sure..Not that it makes a big difference what kills you, but that's really hideous, Claymores v. children..

I don't like the idea of calling it an "accidental explosion". Accidental explosions are caused by gas leaks and the like. Premature explosion is a better word.

Personally I don't believe the terrorists had any intention of letting anyone leave alive.

Seems awfully coincidental that the bombs exploded at the exact time the TERRORISTS agreed the soldier could collect the dead bodies in the schoolyard. I'm not buying any accidental explosion.

Just like the Nazis after WWII who rushed to surrender to the Americans rather than the Russians, the islamist slaughterers may live to rue the day when they slaughtered Russian's beautiful children like animals.

Absolutely chilling. When is the world going to wake up and see what Islam really is?

By the way,it's nice to see that women are good for one more thing in Islam (strong sarcasm).

I don't know whether they were claymores, but they were loaded with bolts and sharp shrapnel to make the wounding impact greater. No, AP "News", there was nothing "accidental" about the devils placing bombs around the school, nothing "ACCIDENTAL" about their raping young Christian girls in other rooms, nothing "accidental" about their shooting children for fun and then shooting them in the back when they fled after the explosion, nothing "accidental" about their shooting the parents in front of the eyes of the children, nothing "accidental" about luring tots who had stayed outside the school during the takeover in with candy and chocolate, nothing "accidental" about slapping a crying tot to death.

The militants who raided a school

Only the AP and MSM can't spot what's wrong with this sentence.

BREAKING: In this story,
militants at AP used the word "Islam" or "Islamic terrorist" zero (0) times,
and "militant" eight (8) times in it's place.

Conclusion: AP harbors terrorists and is a terrorist organization.

It also left out that a third of them were Arabs. The mainstream media is very eager to present this as some kind of freedom fighter event --- it's clear they are working for the Muslim side -- the destruction of the west.

That sparked panic, as hostages tried to flee, and the attackers opened fire.

Obviously this is somehow the fault of the Russians according to the MSM --- little children hostages trying to flee being shot in the backs for the Muslims mishandling their bombs they had set up in the school.

If anything, that could partly explain the chaotic conditions under which the Russian troops were engaged to try to secure the school. Frankly, when I read that they had a TANK crew firing at the school, then dismounting to see what all this hell was all about, I almost fell off my chair in disbelief.

Yeah, its like calling the collapse of the WTC building and engineering disaster....recall all the time wasted on why the building collapsed over the obvious 2 jets crashed into them filled with fuel and deranged terrorists...

SICKENING.

"Accidental" explosions...?

Were they "accidentally" placed there?

Oh, and I guess the 1000+ hostages were taken accidentally, 20 hostages were killed in the first few hours of the stand-off accidentally, explosives were accidentally placed in the gymnasium, the hostages were accidentally bayoneted as they begged for water, and they were accidentally shot in the back as they fled when the explosives accidentally detonated at the end of the stand-off. Oh I see, this was an Associated Press article, wasn't it?

What propaganda. The article would have us believe that it was all a mistake...diverting us from the reality that this was cold-blooded, planned, intentional mass murder of innocent children. It simply ignores the torture, the humiliation, and the planned rapes of girls of 15.

This was no little mistake. This is a glimpse at the reality of is-slime. Murderous, heartless, bloody is-slime.
