Tells you a lot about their culture.

No one complained when Bush did it.

Good lord, can that kid even lift that weapon?? bobby stickers - what are you talking about? I'm not a huge Bush fan but people really seem to force-fit Bush slams into every possible story on this site, no matter how far they have to reach for it. It's getting very, very old. Maybe that was somehow a legitimate remark but if so I'm pretty clueless about what you're referencing.

In the last days of WW-II, Adolf Hitler sent the Hitler Youth out to delay advancing Soviet tanks while he and his concubine holed up in a bunker and committed suicide. Tyrants will always send children out to cover their own cowardice.

Oh great, so now our soldiers have to shoot kids to defend themselves? I suppose the Iraq government will then be talking about how Americans are "murdering" children. Yeah.....right!!!!!

Great parents in Iraq. Really great.

jpwagco Sep 24, 2007 4:57:47 PM - Take your time and watch the documentary named "Jesus Camp."

Really sad to see 8 year olds with AK 47's instead of G.I. joe's action figures :(

I'm confident that illegally wiretapping American's phones will play a big role in solving this problem.

This is so sad -so inevitable.
Please do not make this a story that develops into a cause or reason to kill children.

That's what a trillion dollars spent on the Iraq war is getting us. A new generation of terrorists.

As if we didn't already see this ploy by North Vietnam 30 odd years ago...I hardly find this amazing or shocking....hasn't anyone paying attention to anything?

Like father like son. Bush snr. turned the previous generation of Mujaheddin into Al Qaeda and Taliban. What will this present generation of Mujaheddin turn into in time ? You can thank the dimwit republican sheep for ruining this nation and sowing the seeds of future wars.

How terrible they are using children. And the children have no say so in objecting to being used this way.

bobby stickers - when did Bush ever send children to war?

The Muslim extremists know exactly what the western world will not stand for, killing children, so now they are recruiting children to take advantage of that western mentality. The U.S. and the coalition troops will not be shown killing children even if those children are trying to kill them. Using these same children as suicide bombers would seem far more effective useful than teaching them how to maintain, load, and shot AK-47s. What a pitiful culture and religion Muslim and Islam is.

We had the same thing 30 odd years ago with North Vietnam...this isn't shocking.

these kids should hang out with the kids at the jesus camps.

Remember when the Iranians used children in the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s? Muslim extremism is a culture of depraved barbarism. Bear in mind that I am against our involvement in Iraq and nearly everything that the Bush Repubs stand for. But we cannot idly sit by and tolerate this form of child abuse.

not surprising

In America, this would be like parents or adults making 3rd or 4th graders kill and use weapons like AK-47s. We did build schools over there didn't we? We need to have those kids in school learning how to improve their country in the future, instead of learning how to shoot and kill people. Plus, I don't think this will work. When these kids go into a battle they will see blood, and death, and they won't want to fight. They're only 11-12 years old, and I don't think they will be able to handle war.

Well, another generation of children ruined.

What's the matter with you people - haven't you ever heard of "take your daughter to jihad day"?

Oh for goodness sakes, terrorism and extremism pre-dates *both* Bush Presidents. In fact, it started in earnest on Carter's watch. Read up on some history before you make such silly blanket statements, that have absolutely no basis in truth.

Bobby Stickers... no-one complained when Bush did what? pray tell?

What first comes to my mind is what's going on behind the cameras?
I'd be willing to bet that Mom and Dad and Sis are being held at gunpoint by AQ thugs, threatening to shoot them if junior doesn't comply with their wishes to make this piece of propaganda.
And I'd win that bet, too

Too bad you folks don't know about the real deal. Kids ARE on the battlefield. These animals send them there. When I served in iraq in 2004, a friend of mine (fellow medic) shot a kid aiming an AK at a fellow soldier... about 11 or 12 years old (the kid was 11-12... the AK was about 25). It ruined him (my friend, that is - the kid died) They sent him home. I've not heard from him since.

AK 47's and Underoos! This is Child Abuse to the nth degree.

Some 7 year old American boy recently gets suspended from school for drawing a picture of a gun in class. On the other side of the planet little Frankie is holding an AK-47 and making a video saying death to America in his madrassa school.

I think nearly every seven year old boy anywhere in the world would love to hold a machine gun. The problem is one culture teaches hate while the other culture is now teaching sensitivity and no losers - everyone is a winner. Don't we all feel better.

Be sure to watch coming soon in a neighborhood near you - Big bang - the clash of cultures.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Incognito..... When that group of Iranians took Americans hostage at the U.S. embassy. We should have immidiately sent that guy a telegram.
" Listen you idiot, you've got 24 hours to let those people go... and you know what ? I hope you don't, 'cause I'm gonna go to Iran and kick your butt all over that country. " Presiden Carter.
Too bad He didn't say that though !

getalife, I don't think it's an entire generation here; the anti-reconstruction, insurgent elements are probably a smaller group of the 24 million people there that you may think (albeit a large group). And you may be wrong, Sean; kids in Africa have been in combat for decades. They overcome their reluctance to fight when they know they're going to die...

How can anyone blame bush for this? Don't you know Al Gore invented the AK-47? Seriously though, their culture is one of death and violence. Islam is not a religion of peace. Learn your history- the first war was fought as a nation was against islamists; that's why Jefferson had a Koran, he was studying the enemy! The real sheep are those who are too blind to see what we are really up against! They have training camps in the U.S. and they want their "perfect day scenario" where they start kicking down doors and invading homes and schools and gunning down as many of us as possible. It sounds crazy, but they really want insurgent warfare here in the states and they'll use whatever means they can because of what they believe- Drs, children, and everyone else they can brainwash. They are patient, smart, and completely dedicated to their "cause." I wish I could say the same of all my fellow Americans, but it seems that many are too busy watching whatever the celebrities are up to, or the latest reality TV show. Thankfully, I know there are still enough of us who will defend this nation till the end- even while the leftists are pointing fingers and ignorantly wearing Che t-shirts and spouting communist propaganda.

Incogneto, you're probably wrong, though I deeply hope not. Mom and Dad probably want their child to grow up to be a good little martyr. You should search for the Hamas Kindergarten graduation video... it's a "cultural thing."

Either you believe these photos are fake or you are nuts enough to want our kids to do this in the future after your support of terrorists allows them to take over this country.

I myself would rather live in the good old U.S. of A., even with Bush, than have my kids subjected to this.

The people who are drawn towards fundamentalism are deprived of very important facets of life - love and free will. They are brainwashed into believing they are owned by a religious law and that they need to run the world by the sword. The Christians behaved the same way during the crusades. Of course we dont see them thesedays commiting acts of terror. The Muslims however, never stopped their version of barbaric conversions. I guess the Christians moved on with time but the Muslims are still in the past.

We truly get what we deserve.

"That's what a trillion dollars spent on the Iraq war is getting us. A new generation of terrorists."

Wrong! That's what the terrorist want you to think. The terrorist probably learned this tactic from Rosie.

And we think our public schools are bad! We need to take the hot spots of terror out with air power to depersonalize the necessary killings, since it is now OK to throw military personnel in jail for 'murder' of suspected terrorists.

A message to the LEFT...

When your Democratic president finally takes office...do you really think terrorism is going to disappear?

If so, then you nothing about radical Islam.

Ultimately they would like to kill all gays, those who believe in other religions, those who believe in no religion, take aways womens rights, take away your free speech and make you a Muslim.

vince, Christianity was able to reform b/c Christians believe the bible is divinely inspired... Islam will never be able to reform b/c Muslims believe the koran is dictated word for word from Allah. That is a huge difference, b/c any Muslim who dares to question a single word in the koran is labled a blasphemer against Allah and Islam, and according to Sharia law, he will be killed. So many ppl do not realize that Islam is more than just a religion: it is a political ideology that strives for, and will ALWAYS strive for, Islamic supremacy world-wide. Do you realize that even in 'moderate' countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Jordan that Muslims who dare to try to leave Islam are put to death by the government? Do you realize that by law, in each of the 57 countries in the Organization of Islamic Countries (the OIC) every child that is born is automatically a Muslim? Conversion is not allowed. Muslim women are not allowed to marry a non-Muslim man, according to Sharia law. Educate yourselves, because this is in fact a war of civilizations, and it is going to last many generations to come. We are losing this war, b/c we cannot even name our enemy due to the blinding forces of multiculturalism, political correction, and moral equivalancy. All religions and cultures are NOT equal, and Islam is most definitely not a religion of peace b/c it wants to convert, subjugate, or kill me as a non-Muslim. EDUCATE YOURSELVES NOW.

I agree with Jason: if Democrats are in power, everyone will be mandated to buy a prayer rug and a compass.

Jennifer

No one is going to kill you because you are a Christian.

I challenge anyone to find any statements from Muslims with real power to prove that.

Please give web address or other proof such is from jihadis, and the exact statement in Arabic.

Translation added okay, but only if by a source that can be trusted otherwise, I'll seek out a source I can trust on my own.

In a tape the other week bin Laden did suggest that Americans change to Islam, but if that's a veiled threat then it's like one that preachers throw out every week from the pulpit.

Are all preachers, pastors and priests terrorists? No.

This is just Sick, I think Iam going to puke. How can poeople use kids, like this, how can an adult send kids out to kill and be killed, Just sick and wrong. Where is this lost planet going too. are we just vermins. How can we call our selves's Humans.

jennifer you are really lost. You believe in junk. if you want to insult Islam which is a very awsome religon. then I too can insult Christianity. but I am more mature and educated than you to say bad things about a religon. what you stated. is sect. related just like any other religon, Islam also has their good and bad sect's. you just listen for the bad not the good. We all can find somthing not good in all religons if we try. That does not mean the religon is bad. I am a proud Muslim, you should be ashamed trying to stir up trouble, this planet has enough problems and issues as is, go get and education.

@bobbystickers - What do you mean? Are you saying our military is comprised of children? Please clarify. @Rick McDaniel - so true! They have no respect for the "rules of engagement".

jason, do you take every freak of nature for their word. Do you believe everything you read or watch on T.V.
Why would you take a freak of nature as somthing all muslims support. thats like me saying that, Tim mcvay comments and actions are also supported by you. See what I mean if less than 1% of people. - HAVE A POINT OF VIEW that does not mean the rest 99% support that view Right. so by viewing a person and taking their word as final will only lead to mispersecptions and misguided judments about poeple and thier culture. Education is the only answer to resolve Terrorism.

those kids havent seen anything good in their lives. no wonder they are involved in our war now. instead of not handleing war they are going to fight and fight. so is this an excuss for the U.S. to shoot the children of iraq. well there isnt much anyone can do, this is how the children were raised to do, and no one is goign to tell them other wise, especialy the united states, we came into there country there homes there land trying to fix what we think was wrong, and them not knowing what was wrong about it, and everything in effect comes the violence. thats just what the kids know, which is sad, but we do have to take into consideration that these are kids in a 3rd world country and doesnt have to morals or intellegence the u.s kids have.

but now its just harder seeing 8 year olds shooting at our soliders. its horrible

-Please it's an MP5 9mm sub machine gun and not AK47,(Maddy Sauer and Rehab El-Buri)how did you report it's an AK47?

Such a religion of peace! They call us infidels?

we would do the same or worse if it was us being invaded and occupied,so dont give us that crap about parenting and religous fanatacism,lets try looking in the mirror,we are so worried about the middle east that we have forgoten our real enemies that just had war games together only a few months ago,the russians and china having war games,that worries me not some with ak47s.

Too bad he's holding an HK MP5 rather then an AK47, do research before you mention the names of the guns. The only correct thing mentioned next to the issue of what he's representing, is the AK47s he's in between, but he's holding an HK MP5 Sub Machine Gun.

Posted by: Jazz | Sep 25, 2007 9:32:50 AM
Don't you know Al Gore invented the AK-47?

To correct your statement, Mikhail Kalashnikov who in the past served as the Soviet Union Tank Commander, created and invented the design of the AK47.

Please...first of all, we don't know what the tape is about. Should you just believe something told to us by the government? What a great piece of propaganda. I grew up playing with fake guns and worshiping military power at airshows, so how is this different? I just don't choose to kill, and they will have that choice too. If a foreign military occupied my country, I might feel differently.
