At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?”More.











I can't even process that. Words fail me.
Of course al Queda and their ilk have repeatedly plumbed the depths of human depravity, but seriously, baked, stuffed little boys served to their families? Is this just hearsay or is there actual corroboration for these horrible events?
I suggest any al Queda members captured be forced to room with Jack and Olivia.
But, but, but, they would do nothing wrong at all if it was not for BUSHITLER. You can only push these vicims of AmeriKKKan aggression so far before they go a bit wild.
This does not come as a shock to those of us who have read our Herodotus.
Just reading about this stuff totally screws up one's mind. I've read other stories of al Queda cutting the heads off children and killing whole families, so something like this would be right up their alley. One can only pray for those poor children - we live in one evil world.
"O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself." Psalm 94:1
All I can say, is payback is a bitch, and let the Lord not tarry.
I hope, terrence, that you had your sarcasm engaged. If not, I can only shake my head and seriously wonder what you've been inhaling.
'I hope, terrence, that you had your sarcasm engaged. If not, I can only shake my head and seriously wonder what you've been inhaling'
(I think the "but, but, but" was a good indicator of the sarcasm "on".)
Further to above article, Michael Yon has a very disturbing report here:

I'm sure these atrocities, if indeed they happened, were rationalized with the thought that because the boy was muslim his death was for the cause of the advancement of Islam. Any muslim who dies for the cause is a martyr and we all know the rewards for a martyr. Besides which it frees the little boy from the horrors of living his life under sharia law in an islamic society.
We can only hope that the west is resolved enough to wipe this evil from the face of the earth.
"When Astyages learnt about that in a few years, he punished Harpagus in a demonic way. He boiled his son and fed him with it without telling him what he was eating. The poor father understood he had eaten his own son only when the servants brought to him a dish with the head of the boy. After that Astyages sent the young Cyrus to his parents in Persis."

Gotta love those Medes and Persians....
You know, without any "official media" reporting on this, I'd say it's hearsay. But then I forgot, these animals like to cut people's heads off on the internet. What a stretch to believe that this is urban myth.
Actually it doesn't matter if it is truth or fiction. If this is the kind of story that is being spread in Iraq by the Iraqis then this will severely diminish the attractiveness of AQ to the local populations.
This and stories like them make it hard to understand why so many Canadians want an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan. Our troops know of such things occuring and want to help children and other innocent Afghani's. All of our troops and their families are strongly behind this mission for this very reason, shame on the NDP.

I join you in your scepticism but don't agree with your proof. My scepticism comes from my experience with the fog of war, unfortunately the "official media" is the main dispenser of the fog of war.
There are those in high places, in the western world, who will do everything within their power to deny that pure evil exists, until it is served to them on a plate.
So deep is this denial that it leads to things like the 'Bumper Sticker' comment by John Edwards, and the 'Bush is Brain Dead' comment by Joe Biden. These people might actually believe that you can negotiate with al Qaeda, and trust the results.
There is only one way to deal with pure evil such as this. Complete, ruthless eradication. Anything less should be deemed unacceptable.
I think we should close the Guantanamo prison - - (with a 20 kiloton ground burst).

Problem is that the average Canadian/American knows only what the MSM tells him or what friends talk about over a latte. The stories they are willing to believe about evil on our side usually are easily placed in the nonsense category with any critical examination of facts, but they would never believe the above disgusting dining story.
There is a way to begin the dispensing of the truth but for some reason our political leaders (the real ones, SH, GB, TB) are reluctant.
In Canada at least, there is a way around the MSM McCarthyism, that was used Many years ago.
Canada has leadership that is above politics; the Queen. Back in the 60's, the Governor General, the Queens representative in Canada, commissioned a series of documentaries that were tasked with exposed organized crime. As well, investigative writers were put up to the task. The documentaries were shown on the CBC; and without media comment.
The MSM wouldn't dare call the GG a liar.
The public needs to know who we are fighting. They are told Afghanistan is some local fight we, of course, can leave any time we want to. They are told all we are trying to do is build a few roads and schools. Well, as soon as the Talaban come to realize this why wouldn't they go along?
No understanding is ever dispensed by the MSM that the jihadist movement is a vast multi country, well organized, multi led, well financed network with large numbers of covert operatives in the West.

Yup. It is hard to believe, but then again there are still people around who deny the Holocaust.
Louise,
Agreed, but we should probably wait for proof before spreading rumours about al Qaeda shake-and-bake preteen-protein happy meals.
Absolute skepticism when it comes to climate change science.
Absolute credulity when it comes to charges of Al Qaeda cannibalism.
More applicable is the reverse..
Absolute adulation for doomsday climate forecasts made by non-disciplinary scientists, musicians and political hacks.
Absolute disbelief of reports that organized fanatics are still practicing the same atrocities that they've been doing for centuries.
Stephen I understand your skepticism. But don't underestimate the ruthlessness and inhumanity of some criminals in developing nations and the third world.
For example Columbian drug dealers in the 80's used to make an example out of captured enemies by carefully cutting holes in their throat and using a wire they would pull the person's tongue down & out through the hole in their neck. They wouldn't cut any vital ateries when they did this.
Then they would drive the poor bastard into the village square kick him out of the car & fire a couple of bullets into him so he'd die but not right away. Then the poor, grotesque bugger would stumble around trying to plead for help from passers-by except he couldn't talk. All he could do was gurgle & scare the shit out of everybody.
It was horrific & dramatic & effective. It was called a "Columbian Necktie" because the victim's tongue hung down onto their neck.
"Nice" hmm? So, while the story MIGHT be an urban myth, I wouldn't put it past scumbags who are brutal enough to videotape beheadings.
Sounds alot like the "Kuwaiti babies thrown from incubators by evil Iraq soldiers" story. Goebbels would be proud.
Gitmo is too good for the wretched creeps. I'm sick hearing the media writing sob stories about the killer "Canadian" Khadr being held there. If he's Canadian and fighting against this country, he has also committed Treason.
When a religion or cult thereof is out in this World doing such dreadful acts against humanity, acts that make us have nightmares even to read about, it's time to pull out all the stops. We have to do the ultimate necessary to put it down. We're not doing it. Instead we're fighting them places like Afghanistan where the terrorists are fueled by Iran and Syria, the heads of the snake.
We have to disable the feeders.
The huge problem here is our public banter about how we're dealing with this problem. The Layton and Dion Boob Head duo yakking on about pulling out and when, giving the enemy a heads up.
They're also giving the enemy a reason to kill as many Canadian soldiers as possible to sway public opinion and force the pullout. Then, guess what, all our sacrifices are for naught and the Terrorists win.
Talk about Amateur Hour, Churchill must be rolling in his grave.

"Absolute skepticism when it comes to climate change science."
Yes. Skepticism based on actual scientific observation.
"Absolute credulity when it comes to charges of Al Qaeda cannibalism."
Yes. Credulity based on ACTUAL videos produced by al Qaeda of:
Beheadings of live people
People thrown from the tops of buildings. If it didn't kill them, then they were drug to the top of the buildings and thrown off again.
Public amputations of limbs. Public stonings.
Children used as suicide bombers and human shields.
You seem to have a disconnect. You readily believe a self-appointed AGW *expert*, but not your own eyes when confronted with pure evil.
