"Games" children play

Today I have seen something that I would like ALL the protesters in

America to be forced to watch. Those protesters who insist that the

coalition troops have no business being in Iraq or Afghanistan. What I

will show you is not new. Throughout history terrorists have used

children as weapons. Today, in countries we tend to largely ignore,

marauding bands of thugs are kidnapping children and arming them as

soldiers. These children are treated as just so much fodder,

expendable, as they are taught to kill the enemy.

Today, the US released videos found that provide irrefutable proof

that, if our troops leave Iraq without finishing our mission, future

generations of Iraqi children will be indoctinated in the terrorist

ways.

'Al-Qaeda boys' in training video

Iraq's ministry of defence spokesman Mohammed al-Askari stands near a

video on a screen during a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq, on 6

February 2008

Iraq said the tapes were a "sign of desperation"

Video footage

US and Iraqi forces have issued video footage which they say shows

children under the age of 11 being armed and trained by al-Qaeda.

The US military said five tapes had been found when coalition forces

raided suspected al-Qaeda hideouts north of Baghdad in December.

The videos showed boys brandishing guns and grenades during training

exercises.

The Americans hope the images might persuade Iraqis to turn against

the Islamic militants, correspondents say.

The footage compiled from the tapes features around 20 young boys

running around with pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled

grenades.

In one scene, the boys take part in a mock kidnapping, where they

force the volunteer to kneel in the dust with a pistol at his

head....(read the rest of this report here)

I have watched the footage, and I have to tell you, it made me sick.

Every image turns my stomach. Some frames errily simulate those scenes

we have all come to dread when western hostages have been slaughtered

on camera with the murderers standing behind them.

Is this what the twits at Berkeley would wish on future generations of

Iraqi children? Is this what the protesters around the world would

want on our own shores, as the future for OUR children? It is well

known that children become what they are shown and taught - what they

LIVE from early childhood. These Iraqi children in these videos are

being groomed to be killers, terrorists. The video I am posting below

can be found here.

Make no mistake: this war we are in IS a war to the death; the death

of terrorism. How can we look away, withdraw our troops, and leave the

children of Iraq to this fate? How can we?
