Taliban flee battle using children as shields: NATO

Not like anybody really needed any more info to realize that the Taliban are morally bankrupt pedophiles, misogynists and overall generally the lowest form of life, but this just really sickened me more than some of the reports of just how low they are willing to go.

"During this action ... Taliban extremists resorted to the use of human shields. Specifically, using local Afghan children to cover as they escaped out of the area," Colonel Tom Collins, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), told reporters in Kabul.

The Palestinian terrorists and the Hamas, among others, do exactly the same things ....and have been doing it for years. And yet there are numerous people who claim to support them. Odd, isn't it?

They probably think that if killed, the human-shield child will have died as a young jihadist, and so, it's all ok with them.

 

UN embargo of Iraq kills 500.000 children.

Who is morally banktrupt?

 

Saddam Hussein! He could have stopped it at any time.

Or would you blame the judge and jury for the deprivations of a family caused by sending a man to prison for some crime? Or worse, would you allow the man to continue to commit crimes just so you wouldn't have to deprive the man's family of a livelihood?

Baron Max

 

The taliban thinks exactly the same. The nato can stop any time.

To kill 500.000 children to 'tease' one man is morally bankrupt no matter how you justify it.

 

Your not making sense - if Saddam Hussain was the guilty one, why kill the children? Were the children guilty too?

 

Yes its terrible what people will support.

The UN didn't kill the children, Sadman let them die. There's a big difference, don't you see?

Baron Max

 

That doesnt change the fact that they were punishing the children while it did nothing to Saddam.

Don't you understand?

 

A strange time of the year to hold a out door wedding ceremony? out doors in the middle of winter, in a rain storm? and how many wedding have been bombed by the dastardly Americans? every time it seems, can we be that unlucky, that every time we drop a bomb in the dark we hit a wedding ceremony? Can't you see the propaganda here? It make a good story for the Terrorist, but it is nothing but bullshit that every time we hit a target it is a wedding ceremony.

 

Of course, no one in Iraq should get married as there is a war on.

Especially if it rains on a wedding day.

Amazing how much propaganda there is against the US troops.

Yes I understand the U.N. didn't and doesn't have the balls to do the job right, they were the one who cut Desert Storm short, and failed to let thee job get done the first time, and then imposed sanctions that were as useless as tits on a boar hog in getting Saddam removed, and the people of Iraq got screwed, but that seems to be standard U.N. operating procedure.

 

Yes look at the excellent job the US is doing in Iraq right now. Admirable.

 

SamCDKey:

Are we to take that you support the Afghan fighters usage of human shields?

Or are we to assume that you just felt like sharing a totally unrelated topic in a discussion in which you keep mum about your viewpoint of Afghani fighters?

Truly: What's with your constant chiming in of American actions? Americans were not being discussed here. It would seem that you are seeking justification for the Taliban. Are you?

 

Prince_James, she is seeking justification of all terrorist, when has she ever criticized her Moslem fellows, she is a product of her religion, which means that if you are a infidel it all your fault, and your get what you deserve for having the temerity not to let the terrorist kill you for your belief's in your God, and in freedom, it doesn't matter that the terrorist are killing hundreds of thousands of their fellow Moslems, all that matters is the Prophet Mohammad may god curse his name for all the problems he has inflicted on the world with his bastard religion, I am tired of the political correctness that fails to recognize that the world wide terrorism problem comes from the Moslem religion, a pox on them and their murderous religion.

 

Welcome to Sciforums, where no matter what the topic, it's always somehow more apropos to threadjack and blame someone else.

How you get from the Taliban using children as human shields, to a U.N. embargo against Iraq in the same breathe is certainly a display of dizzying intellect.

Another dizzying intellectual:

That's a great idea, why can't we do that too? Damn liberals enforcing "rules" of war! That's why we are losing in Iraq, because the politicians in Washington make us follow the "law".
