Boys in soccer jerseys don black masks and grab weapons. They scramble over mud-brick walls, blast down doors and hold guns to the heads of residents inside.
...
The video, shown to reporters Wednesday, depicted an apparent training session with black-masked boys - ammunition belts draped across their small chests - forcing a man off his bicycle at gunpoint and marching him off down a muddy lane. An off-camera voice, speaking with an Iraqi accent, instructs children how to take firing positions with assault rifles.

At one point, the boys huddle in a circle on a cement floor, solemnly pledging allegiance to al-Qaida.

I think I'm going to :puke:

How much of this shit are we supposed to believe anymore?

Either this administration is LYING through its teeth about all these new reports of "Al-Qaeda this" and "Al-Qaeda that", or it just proves that Georgie's "war on terra" is a complete fucking joke. Al-Qaeda didn't even exist in Iraq before we invaded - and now we're supposed to believe that it's thriving there? If it is, then we've been doing a pretty fucking piss-poor job, haven't we? All the more reason to get the fuck out, and let the Iraqis deal with it themselves, in their own way.

2. As I said before

Purest bullshit. It's a good excuse to massacre kids in Iraq, though.

"Those 30 kids were dangerous 'Al-Qaeda in Iraq Insurgents(tm)!"

As you say, how much shit do they expect us to swallow?
