US soldiers kill 10-year-old Iraqi girl

It has been unjustified and set up since Desert Storm. Saddam asked our permission to invade Kuwait and we led him into the trap of back stabbing deceit and lies. We set the stage baby.

By the way. Our tax dollars paid for that bullet that killed that ten year old.

good for them, they want democracy.

Doesn't change the fact we bombed the crap out of them, and started a civil war where many people will die.

And that war wont end.

Saddam Hussein did a better job at keeping that country in line.

Sometimes dictatorships aren't that bad.

NO 10 YEAR OLD(s) WERE BEING "USED" IN THIS TOPIC

Were talking about the murder of an innocent civilian . You keep attributing it to her having a bomb or signaling an attack THAT WAS NOT THE CASE ..

Defend the murder all you want . WE all see what you are ..


PROVE she had anything to do with the war . Or stop saying she did .

The 10 yr old was not being used to kill soldiers. She was not even visible to the soldiers. She was hiding from gunfire while her mother signalled for help.

Ok? Read the thread. This is no longer worth my time, or the warnings I am receiving, or my posts being removed.

2 things.

1- Was it determined that this child actually did anything that indicated she was going to "kill your buddies?"

2- Don't you think that it's kinda unmanly, make that unmilitary to off a child on a "maybe?" Lets face it, the military is a dangerous job, if you can't handle that fact you shouldn't serving.

Yes, how romantic. Quote a historic war-time commander and try to compare it to the death of a 10 year old child.

Yeah, we sure made that 'bastard' die for her country didn't we. That'll teach her to hide in fear from gunfire while her mother signals for help.

Disgusting the way you people stir in your romantic notions of war in a topic like this. Please, come back to reality with the rest of us.

Why did you get a warning for that? I think a mod is making a mistake?

This is what was thinking myself. Wow that is it in a nutshell.

Patton would never have done something like that.

Mods don't make mistakes.

They are infallable.

Like Jesus, or Oprah.

Don't you think it's kinda "unmanly or unmilitary" for the insurgents to be using women and children as shields and to do their jobs?

From the report, it sounds like they violated the LOAC. There's not an officer in the military who could order you to go against that. They should, and probably will be, held accountable.

we're about 13 years too late.

Now THATS a turnover time

Why yes you are right.

But what followed was over ten years that we tried to change Saddam’s ways with UN Resolutions …for ten plus years we tried it with sanctions…for ten plus years we sat back and watched many countries including some in Europe totally ignore these sanction under the table…for ten plus years we kept no fly zones in affect to protect the Kurds and future attacks on Kuwait.

Well guess what? He didn’t want to change and so we removed him, are you suggesting there is a statue of limitations that prevented us from removing him?

Then that was an accident, not murder.

Yes I do but the last time I looked the insurgents weren't the ones representing our interests overseas. Personally I like our servicepeople to be civilized, as they should be. Honor and service. Not fear and cowardice.

An accident would be if he dropped the gun and it went off . Maybe manslaughter is a better term ?

I mean when did we just start firing "warning shots" into walls and not the ground?

We dont DO that! MY dad was 82nd airborne in Korea and got behind enemy lines, I KNOW WHAT AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

We are Americans and need to act like what Americans used to act like. Dont you want to be all shiny again? The guys in the white hats? The guys that would rather take a bullet than kill a child?

It is about pride, justice and chivalry.

So it's OK for the insurgents to use women and children to do their dirty work, knowing it will incite people like it is now when they are killed? That's a violation of LOAC, which is a higher standard that US troops are held to.

Your opinion only, and NWO has about as much proof as Bigfoot has.

Hence why I said it was stupid. Removing Saddam was justified, but the cost was not worth it in lives or dollars. The majority of those lives lost and the reason for the astronomical costs is because Iraq has failed themselves and would rather just kill each other off than to be free.

I'm developing to that attitude too..... Iraq deserves a Saddam type.

My opinion? It is a fact. He contacted the white house before hand and thought he had the green light. Also why did you do the NWO thing I was quoting the president in his speech about Desert Storm. I didn't tell him to say it. He said it.
