"You would think that the death of over 30 children would spark outrage amongst the Iraqi people and lead them to
out some of the terrorist groups over there. It just shows
that these people are sub human "

Out them? If there was a group doing that to American children over here we would be hunting them down and hanging them from lamp posts. These people might as well be from another planet they are so different from us.

Steve Harrigan saying the Iraqis have taken control of the center of the city.

Which Iraqis, the good guys or the bad guys? This is getting to be like: "Good V.C., Bad V.C."

A very important word crept into this AP article: terror.

the part about the car exploding while soliders handed out candy - at this point, after so many attacks with the same MO, hasn't anyone gotten the message that cars parked near or pulling up to crowds of people must be stopped?

So much for holding off offensive operations until after the election.

God bless our troops and the Iraqis who are willing to fight for their freedom.
