What sort of 'insurgents' or 'Iraqi resistance' kills babies?
I guess the dark force kept notes on the unthinkable Chechan foray and thought it some more.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Three bombs exploded at a neighborhood celebration Thursday in western Baghdad, killing 35 children and seven adults, officials said. Hours earlier, a suicide car bomb killed a U.S. soldier and two Iraqis on the capital's outskirts.
The bombs in Baghdad's al-Amel neighborhood caused the largest death toll of children in any insurgent attack since the conflict in Iraq began 17 months ago. The children, who were still on school vacation, said they had been drawn to the scene by American soldiers handing out candy.
What sort of 'Iraqi partisan' intent upon the continued destabilization of the Iraqi struggle for peace and stability would stoop to killing children? Innocents! People on the left in this country say the Iraqi war is not about terrorism -- it is now!
Remember well Beslan. The plague of dark, murderous insanity is spreading. We are on the side of right, and we must keep the backbone stiff as a 4-inch plank. As Roger Simon says, we are on the side of the angels.
In the al-Amel bombings, grief-stricken parents wailed over the bodies of their children at the Yarmouk Hospital morgue. One woman tore at her hair before pulling back the sheet covering her dead brother and kissing him.
One man carried his younger brother - both legs bandaged - to the hospital, where some children were put two to a bed because of the many wounded. Outside, women sat on the ground and wept as they awaited news about their children.
Of the three blasts, it is reported that two of them were suicide car bombings. From what little I have learned thus far, suicide bombings have been carried out almost exclusively by non-Iraqis, i.e., non-Baathists. Think Zarqawi. Think pure islamic terror. I wonder...what do genuine Iraqi insurgents think about this latest atrocity? Can they continue to reconcile their own interests with these actions?
