NEWS: US Helicopter Attack Kills Iraqi Children in Primary School

[fuzzylogic]

i bet you can't find this on CNN...



A US military attack launched in the village of al-Nedawatin yesterday left numerous Iraqi children dead inside a primary school, according to Iraqi security sources.

US military sources admit to helicopter activity in the area but were unable to comment on any other details concerning the activities.

Initial figures which have yet to be independently confirmed point to 6 dead children and a further six injured. Lt-Col Chris Garver announced an investigation in the attack saying that the US tries at all costs to avoid civilian casualties.

terrorist shouldnt hide behind kids

[crockett]

From the article..

"One police officer said the helicopter was shot at from the ground during the morning.

The school was said to have been hit when the aircraft returned fire."


Guess we shouldn't blame the insurgents whom take cover by a school and shoot at US choppers.

the officer does not state in your quote where from the "ground" the shot originated from.

They were animals and I slaughtered them like animals. On just the men, but the women and children too. I hate them!

Acceptable? So wait, who is worse the terrorists hiding near schools and children and using them as cover or the United States soldiers returning fire?

[Jman]

How about WW2 when the bombers where dropping bombs on germany and england. Can you imagine how many OUPS!!! they had back then.

At least with Technology we do not have as many unnecessary casualties as in the past.

Of course ANY unnecessary casualty is one to many.

neither. and those points are irrelevant. US soldiers killed children. nine of them i believe.
the US military should NOT be opening fire on a school where children are present. plain and simple.

So if a gunman robs a bank in the US, kills people escaping and hides in a school, the police should be able to blow the school up to get him?

[Rochard]

Your making it sound like a US Helicopter intentionally opened up fire on a school full of children. It seems to me that someone fired on a US helicopter and the helicopter fired back - most likely without knowing it was a school and most likely without knowing there was children there.

This bullshit. There are certain rules wars are fought by. One of them is not hiding behind children, or firing from a building where there are children.

If you hide with the general population like the fucking coward you are, well, all bets are off.

Then again, they don't seem to mind killing innocent people by bombing their markets anyhow.

Just when is an invasion legal?

Tell that to Palestine then. They strap bombs on their children to blow up innocent people. If we should not return fire, they should not use children as terrorists. It is a fucked up world, you better get used to it. The US military does not make it a habit of killing children, I am sure they would have done anything in their power to not have killed those kids.

that sucks ....hope all is good

fucking terrorists....

[Webby]

So far we got "shit happens", "terrorists should not hide behind kids", "we shouldn't blame the insurgents whom take cover by a school and shoot at US choppers", "who is worse the terrorists hiding near schools and children and using them as cover" blah blah...

The day an idiot can actually read a news article for what it is and quit assuming *everything*, is the day I'll quit calling em idiots

Then we got idiot DaddyHalBucks with "It's from this super reliable news source" - the classic idiot response from a prize nobody who has no "reliable source" on any subject.

Sheesh.. classic GFY idiocy and not once ounce of actual balance or sense... Gimme a break

[phate321]

well, do you feel better.......
Let me make one point clear:

FUCK BUSH!!!

peace!

[dav3]

Maybe the kids were shooting at the chopper?

Good point. They strap bombs to kids and then blow up more kids in markets and other public places.

I'm sorry.... I have lost complete respect for these people. They kill innocent people and hide like cowards.

What exactly has that got to do with a copter shooting at a school (intentionally or otherwise) in a totally different country?? DUH??

More fanciful assumptions based on which news article???

Once again... get the country correct. The subject is Iraq and a copter shooting at a school.

and israel shoots kids in markets and other public places from hi tech weapons the americans have given them ..

no difference , they are both using religion as an excuse to murder children

if the americans gave muslims missiles i bet they wouldnt use suicide bombers , they would use missiles instead , and if the americans stooped giving hi tech weapons to isreal , they would prob strab bombs on anything that moved..

Looks like the thread is now developing/diverting into areas which has nothing to do with an incident in Diyala province and got the usual pics of activity in totally different countries

Yet you are "balanced"? You're the left wing version of Rush Limbaugh. Was the US wrong to invade Iraq, Yes. So was Great Britain. The mistake was made so we should all just walk away and let the US mistake turn into a complete genocide?

Why don't you post about the murders of Islamic Jihaad, The Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Queada? Is it only the US foreign policy disasters you find interesting?

Why aren't you concerned with the "civilized" world ignoring Darfur, Rawanda, Somalia, Indonesia, etc.,...Your apparently greater intellect seems to be very limited in it's interests when it comes to the suffering of people beyond your political worldview.

Yes I guess it's just normal for US chopper pilots to look for the nearest school when they decided to shoot back at someone whom just shot at them.

Let's deal with this one stage at a time

You assume much and yes, I'm balanced - just trust me. Not only do I not give a shit about idiot Limbaugh, but same goes for all idiots.

This thread is not about the reasons for any "invasion" - it's about a school shooting.

You obviously have a reason to think I've either got the time or the inclination to post silly pics on GFY???

Why do you assume again about what other people think??? That's very perceptive of you - but still totally unrelated to the subject of this thread. Just live with it...

It's clear you have some "needs"

[Webby]

The reasons are totally unknown crockett - it could have been accidental or deliberate. But... here we got the idiot mob making up assumptions in an attempt to defend something that they know nothing about.

Sure, seriously doubt any copter crew would intentionally shoot on a school, so let em investigate themselves and come up with their explanation.

[Webby]

Well.. it did not take long to deny any attack on a school - despite the Task Force investigation is still going on. It's called damage limitation....

Shit.. they are as bad as GFY

BBC = Republican propaganda.. obviously

Search your own name. You have an uncanny fascination with US foreign policy as it relates to the Iraq fuck up.

Grating it takes 30 seconds to post a reply here, you have 128.04 hours more time than I do to post silly pictures and obviously the time as well.

I haven't spent three weeks of my working life on a message board seeking adulation. How you can call me "needy" is mind boggling. You have yet to answer any question I posited in response and have wasted more of your apparently non interested time.

I don't care what you think or anything about "rebuttals" - you get it yet???

If you have anything valid to say about this thread - say it, but don't waste my time.

[CDSmith]

I'd like to hear what the chopper crew has to say.

They were there, I wasn't.

I've come to despise speculation and empty conjecture where this kind of shit occurs. Everyone likes to second-guess the trained personnel like they'd have done it different etc, and to me that's the joke here.

Better to shut the fuck up and wait until more facts present themselves.

Does it suck that it was a school full of kids that got shot up? Of course it does.

Pretty much every military does the same.. Even NATO denies that they killed the 21 civilians in Afghanistan yesterday.

Hell even the glorious goodie goodie two shoes French whom never do any wrong , denied they blew up Green Peace's boat killing a ship hand in the process back in 85.
