"...The baby was reunited with his mother June 19. The mother of the child told Iraqi Police she left the child in her daughter's care. The daughter was carrying the baby on the road near the LSA when she was chased by wild dogs and left the baby so she could run faster..." 
The mom shows up **TEN** days later with a story about "dingos got my baby?!"
No way that story holds water.

The daughter was carrying the baby on the road near the LSA when she was chased by wild dogs and left the baby so she could run faster, according to reports given to Capt. Lance Awbrey, commander, Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery.And the dogs didn't take the 'bait'?
Thankfully, our guys didn't recon the potential IED with a round or two and checked the box out. That takes some stones, and they not only saved the baby, but avoided what could well have been a 'baby killer' set-up.
Well done, gentlemen, well done.

I gotta question what they are doing given that baby back to the mother. It sounds like that baby is going to be dead in two weeks.

Will "Soldiers save baby's life be front page news?"

Bingo. Bet the bad guys had a video camera...no...bet the bad guys had alerted the news media to watch that box.

The wild dog story just didn't flange up, hungry dogs would have taken the easy meat and let the girl run.

Correct.
Besides, you called it. The bad guys had our traitorous news media watching that box for a "baby killer" story to be filmed live and in color.

Ours or theirs, or even amateurs, they'd all play that feed. Right out of the RVN era epithets, too. Sheesh!

God I hate muslims. I know if wild dogs were chasing me and I had a kid in my arms I would start kicking wild dog ass to the best of my abilities.

I gotta question what they are doing given that baby back to the mother. That was the most surprising part of the story to me too.

I've gotta love these guys for their bravery in recovering the box and their instincts in saving the baby's life.
We do have a superior culture of life.

Bears? I thought it was wild dogs. This story is getting almost unbelievable. ; )

I know of a couple documented cases of dingos killing children.
Dogs do, too.
Now why they didn't notice daughter didn't have baby, and why they didn't go back to see if they could find the baby....
Question. Will the next baby in a box be wired now that they know our guys are softies at heart?

Yes: Tha daughter shows up at home absent the baby and no one decides to go back and look for it?
I am sure they had no choice but to give the baby back to Mom. Now she has a second chance to grow a suicide bomber.
