BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq's information minister accused U.S. forces Tuesday of "indiscriminately" killing their own citizens in a bus attack and killing nine Iraqi children in a central neighborhood of Babylon.

"Yesterday, an American warplane attacked two buses on the highway between Baghdad and Ahman," Mohammed Saeed al Sahaf told reporters.

[GulliverSwift]

What? They killed liberal freaks who deliberately stand in harm's way and know the consequences?

Boo hoo.

I want to know is: Why is this "information minister" still alive?

He needs to be "accidentally" killed when he's present in a building that's blown up.

BTW, I wonder how the Special Forces are doing? Do they waunder around the city in arab garb and make up? That would be interesting to know, and we'll all find out in a couple months, or maybe years.

Why didn't they get the rest of them?

[wideawake]

If only those "American" human shields hadn't been using Iraqi children as their human shields we could have eliminated more "American" human shields!

Feel bad about the kids, but I also feel bad there weren't more dead human shields.

Why tease us? It's obviously too good to be true. I'd almost rather see those human panty shields targetted than the french. Almost. Oh, heck. Too close to call.

[Hodar]

Maybe that bus full of Human shields will want to run a roadblock?

Assuming this is true, it would be what I like to call "icing on the cake".

I have no sympathy for any human shields that had a choice. Those who don't-that's unfortunate, however, this is war and the safety of OUR coalition troops is what is of paramount importance. The so called "peace movement" and the Dumocratic machine is doing everything they can, sleazy or not, to defeat America in this war. They will pull every dirty trick they can use to convince Americans we should accept defeat. IT CAN NOT BE ALLOWE TO SUCCEED AND MUST BE FOUGHT ON EVERY FRONT.

Sahaf said "all those who do such acts are definitely racist."

LOLOL When all else fails, play the race card. Even the Iraqis have figured that out.

[Lee Heggy]

Apparently being a 'human shield' isn't a good career move.

[GulliverSwift]

What? I thought the whole french army was a human shield.

[BunnySlippers]

Does anyone know where the article is from yesterday about the shooting along Ambush Alley?

[Mr. Mojo]

U.S. Central Command said it is investigating the claim.

Why? It just serves to legitimize it.

[TheBattman]

Let's see - we have possible enemy combatants entering country via Syria and Lebanon (and Lord knows where else). These people are coming to try to Kill Americans. Anyone who stands against American forces - be they civilian, military, or militants, is a legitimate target - period.

[netmilsmom]

All I can say is, "Sucks to be them."

[Do the Dew]

PING

[Binghamton_native]

Only a morally bankrupt regime would ACCEPT human shields!

[Mr. Mojo]

The American (and most Euro) human shield left Iraq in a panic at least a couple weeks before the fighting commenced, when Saddam decided he wanted to actually use them as, well, human shields.

[nyconse]

I read somewhere that enemies from Syraians are coming to join the Iraqis army in buses. I bet a fair number of them were in these buses

[jerod]

Wasn't the Bus he's talking about, the one from Jordan?

The one with a bunch of former Iraqi's returning to Iraq to defend it against the great Satan?

[Migraine]

Apparently being a 'human shield' isn't a good career move.

Nope. It's called a "horizontal" move.
