Taliban Use Child Bomber At Start Of Offensive

No. If a munition is capable of killing civilians and those using it know this and kill civilians with it anyway then those civilians were killed with intent. The fact that the killers might argue that higher priority targets also died is salesmanship.

 

Your surprised news of this calibre makes for stock? You had a problem with the link, now you have the story what's the problem calling for diversion tactics?

 

It's not the same story. I'm remarking upon the similarities.

You're obviously mistaken.

 

There is a distiction between targets and non targets. International humanitarian law and the Rome Statute permit belligerents to carry out proportionate attacks against military objectives, even when it is known that some civilian deaths or injuries will occur. Calling it salesmanship is propaganda.

 

How about you remark on the disparities showing its not the same story instead?

 

Earlier posts, correctly, chastise me for failing to check the date of the original OP. I now pass that criticism on to you.

 

Show us the relevant texts which legitimize the slaughter of innocent civilians.

 

I did check and both links are from the beginning of May so no disparities there, try again.

 

Who else are you speaking on behalf of?

You obviously have a bit of reading up to do.

I never stated US troops use kids as bombs or throw grenades at women. You really seem to have a serious comprehension problem.

 

If they really believe that, then you will never change their minds.
The kids are off to a better place than this world, and they have helped those in this world as they go.

Seems like a win/win.


Besides, Islam forbids suicide as you well know.
There are always idiots out there that will try anything to have power. Morals are never usually the way to power in any society these days.

 

United States used Depleted Uranium Munitions know to cause genetic mutations in the population of the country they were used in.

They kill babies for generations to come with the weapons they use. They hold all the WMD and attack on suspecting a few.

Please stop detailing the brutal insane men who rise against the stupid heroes in Afganistan. Nobody every talks about the freedom fighters who snipe a few troops that have been out of bounds and committing genocide. All death in Afganistan is now the result of the invading forces. The invading forces are to blame for excalated violence and pyshcotic enemies.

 

if that was something you truly cared about you would be (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about the psycho muslims who kill innocent civilians and use children as bombs as well. but no, all you and other like you ever do is try and demonize the US military and jews, but dont say a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed thing when your psycho muslim buddies constantly and purposely target civilians.

 

i never saud you did either so im seeing that its your comprehension skills that are very off. im asking you to show me how the US military is anywhere near the sick and twisted minds of psycho muslims.

you try comparing the 2 but in all honesty you cant.

 

so if someone broke into my home and in retaliation, instead of me going after the people who broke into my home, i go attack my neighbor and kill his family.....then its the fault of the people that broke into my home and not the intruders fault?

yeah lol, great logic.

 

So please tell us WHAT ATTACK was committed by Iraq that firing cluster bombs over cities filled with civilians is "proportional" to?

 

Somehow, I think the fine distinctions of "psychological motivation and intent" that you suggest made OUR killing of large numbers of civilians "acceptable" to YOU are distinctions that would be LOST on YOU if it were YOUR wife and children being maimed and killed in SOMEBODY ELSE'S GRAND PURPOSE!

 

This reminds me of a Billy Preston song.

nope wrong again in your attempt to not only say i think killing is acceptable when it comes to civilians, which i dont think it is but i also understand the fact that in war people are gonna die. but also wrong once again in your attempt to try and say one act is just the same as another.

once again, our troops do not target civilians at all, they do their best to avoid killing innocent people unlike your pals the psycho muslims who love nothing more than straight up bloodshed and obviously also love the act of using little boys to strap bombs too to go kill their mommies and daddies.

now me when i see that our troops do actually do something on the level of your psycho muslim buddies i denounce their actions and ask for swift and just penalties for their crimes. you on the other hand or others that think these psycho muslims are good people and do no wrong never ever denounce the acts they commit on a daily basis and have a huge hand in the deaths of many civilians all over the world. no instead you just try to blame everyone else for their actions, muslims are never wrong in your head.

pretty sick dude.

 

I am still awaiting your particular of the attacks on us which were the basis for our "proportional response" REQUIRING firing cluster bombs over Iraq cities filled with civilians.

BTW, lots of Muslims denounce Muslim terrorists.

 

OK, they're at the beginning if May in different years.

 

Show us the relevant texts which legitimize the slaughter of innocent civilians. You've provided a skewed account via a link to the opinion of one Luis Moreno-Ocampo. Show us the relevant texts which legitimize the slaughter of innocent civilians.

 

I find this very difficult to believe this story....its like so many others....which have a small ingredient of truth but more for propaganda purposes.

The Taliban are strongly supported in Helmand in particular! That's where most soldiers meet there demise!

Conservatives do not seem to have any problem whatsoever with Iraqi women and children being killed by US bombing attacks. They simply refer to the deaths as "collateral damahe". However, it is these deaths that encourage the young men of Iraq to join the Taliban and/or El Queda as a means of avenging the deths in their country. In my opinion the best recruiter for these organizations has paradoxically been the US Military.
