Baqubah Update: 05 July 2007 [The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family]

At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11-years-old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family. ...

The people were jubilant. None of the kids–and by the end of the day there were hundreds–asked me for anything, other than to take their photos. These were not the kids-made-brats by well-meaning soldiers, but polite Iraqi kids in situ, and the cameras were like a roller coaster ride for them. The kids didn’t care much for the video; they wanted still photos taken. While the kids were trying to get me to photograph them, it was as if the roller coaster was cranking and popping up the tracks, but when I finally turned the camera on them–snap! –it was as if the rollercoaster had crested the apex and slipped into the thrill of gravity. Of course, once the ride ended, it only made some clamor for more. Iraqi kids that have not been spoiled by handouts are the funniest I have seen anywhere....

Huh?

What do you meat they are “starting to get frisky”? What are they doing to make you say that? I'm very curious.

Great! Show on millimeter of weakness.......

Or if I dare say, acid and yellow cake. Old joe could then be sent to the final process to be converted into Uranium Hexaflouride gas to be squirted into a centrifuge.

Not sure if the full translations where adequate as discussed in a different post. But any way one looks at it these radical muslim slime balls need to be killed off. Time to logout. Do have a good one.

You take good care of yourself! You have had a very long nine days.

Okay, I’m just a swine-eating infidel, but I’m pretty sure that cannibalism is NOT halal. That’s messed up.

WHY did you repost the whole story again? What was the point?

[Chgogal]

R U dense? The horror of seeing your child on a platter is the punishment. Most parents would faint at the sight. Eating the child would be impossible. Sheesh!

”just checked with our terp "davids" he says that is possible, they do alot to convince people to do what they want...his parents were killed 3 years ago in baquaba and a U.S. patrol found him wondering the streets in bloody clothes and took him in. He has been here ever since and everyone is working to get him to the states.”

This story stops too short. How did the family react? Did they eat their son?

What were the side dishes? What wine was served?

“Speaking through an American interpreter, Lieutenant David Wallach who is a native Arabic speaker, the Iraqi official related how al Qaeda united these gangs who then became absorbed into “al Qaeda.” They recruited boys born during the years 1991, 92 and 93 who were each given weapons, including pistols, a bicycle and a phone (with phone cards paid) and a salary of $100 per month, all courtesy of al Qaeda. These boys were used for kidnapping, torturing and murdering people.”

AQ in Iraq in the early 90s??

Does anyone have more information on that??

[dynoman]

I do not have evidence that Al Qaeda terrorists were present in Iraq in 1990's although for sure Saddam intelligence service met with Bin Laden in 1995 in Sudan as I have shown in this translated Iraqi document. Al Qaeda terrorists began their influx to Iraq in 2002 well before the fall of Saddam and with the approval of Saddam himself.

I think the article refers to Al Qaeda recruiting boys who were born in 1991, 92, 93, i.e. between the age of 14 and 16.

If you think this stuff is made up, trot yourself out and buy copies of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. And don't miss Lone Survivor, written by a real, live SEAL. It is almost unbelievable what these lunatics are capable of. People who have to sell their older kids to orphanages so they can have enough money to feed the little ones, Taliban buys them, uses them up, then cuts their throats or teaches them to blow themselves up. These are people who live in the stone age, have bullies who drive around with their AK-47's, and areserving the devil. What a foolish bunch of people we are to think that Islam is a religion of peace. Men using little boys in shameful ways, then killing them, men killing women for showing their ankles. I don't think many of us knew about Islam until 9/11. It's a sad but true story...there are now about 4 Islamic enclaves in this country. They are all teaching their children to hate Americans, Christians/Jews, and how to destroy this country. I am not a conspiracy nut; I just watch and listen. And I know what is going on in different regions of this country. I just hope the average freeper is ready to take care of him/herself when the stuff hits the fan, because I think it will in the next few years. And I really wish that American muslims would stand up and fight this idiocy.

This is precisely the kind of stuff Saddam’s security people were capable of doing, so I myself don’t doubt that such incidents may have occurred.

[attiladhun2]

I have read about this same technique used by a now defunct guerrilla group operating in Afrtica.

Are you referring to the "Butt-Nakeds" in Liberia?
