American troops use women and children as human shields atop their tanks

A field commander in the Iraqi Resistance disclosed to a correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Fallujah what he called the �tragedy of the street fighting� by which he meant the way that the invading American troops were using Iraqi women and children as human shields.

The commander said that the tragedy began last Tuesday. Before that he had never seen it before, where the Americans were using women and children to shield their tanks. The commander commented: �this state is living through a type of savagery that history has never known before.�

The Resistance field commander said �we could hear the cries of the children and the women�s calls for help from atop a column of tanks that was driving along ath-Tharthar street last Tuesday. Some of our fighters closed their eyes in pain and wept at the sight.�

What's the difference between US troops in Fallujah and German Nazi?
The consent of US people for such atrocity is deafing.

LOL!!!!! Now thats funny!!! OK DOKIE BAHGDAD BOB!!!

Surely you jest. I hope that this was a failed attempt at humor.

Why can't I see the originating post on the top of this thread?

It's the other way around. These insurgents, being small and weak, will go to any lengths to attempt to defeat American soldiers, including exploiting thier fellow countrymen and women and their children to increase their own survivability or make us look worse.

It appears our esteemed propagandist is on Global Ignore... A fitting implementation of ATS coding in my humble simian opinion. Perhaps video or photographic evidence of this event is forthcoming?

Maybe these were the same tanks that really weren't in Baghdad a couple of years ago?

Factual Monkeys, not just for veracity anymore...

it's not April 1st is it?

I agree with the global ignore of the original post.
I think there should be a rule that if someone wants to showcase an absurd headline, they should qualify it as such. We become nothing more than an extention of the original source if we allow titles like this one.

theres no way this is true the soldiers know better and would never do that.

What's really sad is that the insurgents workers had to stop work at the "baby milk plants" and go out into the street to see this. Think of all the wasted man-hours. Here's the original report if you didn't see it. (FreeArabVoice.org) There's some good stuff in there if you read through.

Resistance holds 60 percent of al-Fallujah

children shot dead by American snipers yesterday or the day before as they tried to cross the street, were also being devoured by the dogs

Zcheng you just get better every day in your comical attempts to slander our Army

I thought we were wiped out? I guess the insurgents were weeping as they destroyed 60 tanks WITH women and children


Did we have them tied on the Jets too

How about the bombers?

I heard they had them tied around the subs too


come on back give me something to laugh about

The report doesn't say if it stopped them from knocking out tanks at the high rate that they were reporting before.

Anybody else here see the irony in zcheng posting about using human shields on tanks? I thought the policy of his country was just to use tanks to run over people?

yaya, see this linky for the types of ladies U.S. military forces hide behind prior to annhilation of the enemy....

www.bombergirl.com...

these poor so called "insurgents" are either seeing the artwork painted on the machines of the U.S. Marines, or......

they are glimpsing the "virgins" just prior to LIGHTS OUT!!!

I didn't know babies produced milk ... or is it special vegetation that produces milk for babies? Why don't we have it in the west?

Seriously through, zcheng appears to be on a global ignore, so Zbaby, you can see us, we can no longer see you!


should change his name to StealthZCheng or NinjaZCheng now!

THis is too much....


You have brown eyes right zcheng?

Hi post is accurate, this claim is being made. Its all garbage propaganda by the insurgent backing media. Its amazing what people will believe. In addition, the story actually claimed US and Iraqis were being eaten by dogs in the street.

Heres your link you wanted from the lying news source Jihad Unspun.
