The Taliban using children as human shields is evidence of their barbaric cowardice. Simply disgusting.

Hmmmmmm. Where did I come upon this. Oh yeah, 40 years ago in I Corps, II Corps, III Corps, IV Corps, and the Rung Sat Special Zone (RSSZ). Cowards are like Leopards...they never change their spots, the fatherless scum.

Well what do you expect when they don't have to abide by the Geneva Convention. Of course WE will still have to fight fair and then everyone wonders why no progress is being made???????

Well said Sergeant Major. I was about to say, when did this become news? But you put it better than I. This kind of stuff has been going on since the 40s or before.
Hi Groovy Lady.

One of the reasons why, in an insurgency, the counter-insurgent rarely wins.

There is a pic circulating (can't find it) that depicts an Iraqi crowd (w/children) running away from gunfire/explosions, and standing erect moving toward the sound of the guns is one of our U.S. PARATROOPERS.

Ironically, a child (young boy) is cowering/walking alongside our brave Paratrooper, using our All-American as a shield.

The child doesn't give a damn that our Warrior is an INFIDEL, he (the child) just knows that he will be protected. Ironic...

GOD BLESS OUR WARRIORS

We won on the ground, air, and sea in Vietnam but at a terrible cost to our minds. The same thing happened in Korea, and WWII in both theaters of war. To my knowledge Americans have never used human shields because the North Koreans, Red Chinese, VC, NVA, and the Nazi could care less about human life.

This is old news-----this has been said since we have been over there. But I guess it is Bush's fault. Bring in some new stories.

Where are our LWN's defending the taliban on this one? Where are the usual whining "impeach Bush" remarks.

Wonder why the MSM avoids this sort of reporting.

Remember, the rules of war make the one using the human shield a war criminal and the death or injury the DIRECT responsibility of the person USING THE SHIELD, not the one firing on the criminals.
