BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi insurgents used two children as cover to get through a checkpoint in Baghdad and then blew up the car while the kids were still inside, a U.S. general said Tuesday.

The car went through a checkpoint Sunday and parked by a market across the street from a school, said Maj. Gen. Michael Barbero, deputy director for regional operations in the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Two adults jumped from the car, leaving the children in the back. Moments later, the car exploded, witnesses said. (Watch Barbero describe how insurgents are interested only in slaughter )

The two children and three bystanders died in the blast, and seven others were hurt, Pentagon officials said.

The attack raises fresh concerns about insurgents using children to throw off troops, Barbero said.

"Children in the back seat lower suspicion. We let it move through," he said.

A U.N. report released in January 2006 highlighted insurgents' use of children as suicide bombers in Iraq.

Answer 1

Its amazing how some people think we can say something magical to them to make them stop.

If they want to be treated like a human being they should start acting like one.

Beheading someone in the name of their God is not acting like a human

Answer 2

You really think that there are terrorist sympathizers here? I doubt that.

On Iraq, well, we dislodged a 3rd world dictator.

Prior to the invasion, then Secretery of State Colin Powell warned the President ..."if we invade Iraq, we'll own it for 30 years". Powell knew something Bush didn't know, he had common sense and was familiar with the area. Powell was not consulted by Rumsfield, Bush, or Cheny on the decision to "go to war". Bush is simply a bad decision maker.

Answer 3

I am digusted by the fact that they used children. War is hell!!!
BUT you need to congratulate yourself. IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ATTACK ON THIS COUNTRY. We have helped to create the monsters that you are now disgusted by. You should have been disgusted when the US attacked a country that did not threaten us or attack us, destroyed their infrastructure where they have no electricity for long periods of the day ( except in the Green zone where the US is), no running water ( that existed before we bombed them). Keep on justifying the war based on lies so you can sleep at night.

With this as the major spokesperson for conservatives how can we ever hope to effectively combat terroirsts on more then one front .

It's the "Stupid factor," the S factor: Some people -- sometimes through no fault of their own -- are just not very bright.

It's not merely that some people are insufficiently intelligent to grasp the nuances of foreign policy, of constitutional law, of macroeconomics or of the variegated interplay of humans and the environment. These aren't the people I'm referring to. The people I'm referring to cannot understand the phenomenon of cause and effect. They're perplexed by issues comprising more than two sides. They don't have the wherewithal to expand the sources of their information. And above all -- far above all -- they don't think.

Bush Bill who ever you support is not going to solve this problem and I hate to mention it But you may suffer from the S factor yourself .

Answer 5

NO;We are not fighting monsters. Do you know how many innocent children were killed by the US led occupying forces?
More than a lakh.So why are you bothered about the killing
of two children.US are using lies,damn lies and statistics
as their tool.US has violated international norms by invading
a soverign country.Now they are threatening Iran.They want
to have a monopoly of atomic weapons.It would have been
much better if US allowed obscurantist Islam to stay in their own place.US should also try to reign in the adventures of Israel.US and its allies should be tried for war crimes.

Answer 6

First off, i hardly think there are many "terrorist sympathizers"

maybe a whole lot of terrorist supporters, but hey, you gotta go where the money flows.

second, yes, we have all seen or at least heard of the beheadding tapes, the burned chared bodies of marines hung by a bridge.. and I agree, these are war crimes, and crimes against humanity. these things should not happen to anyone..


but neither should having your 4 year old sons arm blown off by a cruise missile with "a present from the U.S" painted on the side.

a missile which came from miles away, at the push of a button by some uptight military a**hole who got the order from some other military a**hole.

we are the invading force here, and they have b een doing nothing but defending their homeland, while we try to take over their resources and government. its not a secret, we are not "retailiating" for the 9-11 attacks, because we HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST for over 50 years, and have only been upping our troop numbers there since the first gulf war.


this is nothing new, we are russia to afghanistan, we are nazi germany to poland...

war is about money, land, and resources. all of which the US desperately needs to pull itself out of the rut is has been in.

so, before you allow speculation and yes, propaganda to influence your views on a culture, look at the facts

and look at them with an unbiased eye (which will be impossible if you are american)

because your point of view is not your own, it has been implanted in you through your culture, and every bit of media that your eyes and ears have come across since 1945


if you lay the events out on a flat timeline, you see that it is a volley of attacks between the U.S and the middle eastern groups.

and while we have more humanity and justice in our tactics, they have to resort to terror and violence, because we are JUST THAT STRONG. we could easily level the entire middle east to the ground, but we havnt, because the people and soon to be infrastructure there are too valuable to us

Answer 7

They believe they are freedom fighters, insurgents, and soldiers.
The left will do ANYTHING to get power in the United States. They will lie and perpetuate propaganda even if it costs American lives.
The biggest culprit is a grass roots website called Move on.org.
They own every Democratic candidate and have a huge following of angry ignorant followers all of whom hate GB.

They will bend each Candidate to do there bidding by actually threatening to move against them if they don't act and say what they want there people to hear. The Far lefts thirst for power and the benefits that go with it knows NO bounds and every American both right and left Need to see these tactics and put a microscope on there true agenda!!!

Answer 8

Amusing. The Al-Qaida network the allegedly was the reason for starting the "war on terror" is run by a man of Saudi Arabian birth and operated mainly in Afghanistan.

Can you spot the word "Iraq" in this? Nope.

Answer 9

Maybe you should be asking WHY they are fighting back at us. Maybe it is because they do not want the USA there. We invaded their country. We have killed tens of thousands of their citizens -- all for oil and money through no-bid contracts. Cheney and Bush have become richer than ever by manipulating this "war." Our goal was to get Saddam out of power. that was accomplished a few years ago. Of course, the real objective should have been Bin Laden, since HE was behind 9-11, and Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11. But, there is no oil or profit in Afghanistan, is there. Al Quaeda was not even in Iraq until we invaded. they went there because it is an easy place to kill american soldiers. Bush caused this mess!

Sorry you are too blinded by Rush Limbaugh to think for yourself!

Answer 10

Are you calling people that want us out of this war we were mislead into terrorists?

What then would you call George W Bush

a recent seymour hersch article the new yorker detailed how the bush administration has started sending money to SUNNI groups in iraq and the middle east.

it was also detailed how terror organizations were getting some of this money.

al quaeda is a sunni group.

bin laden is a sunni group.

the bush administration funds sunni groups

Answer 11

cause if you're brown and not christian you're not a person. got it.
our sanctions on Iraq post gulf war 1 and the second invasion killed alot more than two kids. and if maybe we tried actual negotiation, you could say that for sure.

you know, our troops have fired at cars containing families with small children, using this kind of thing as an excuse, and it was before this started happening on a large scale.

don't you see? when people rebel and they are outgunned and under equipped, they will resort to the most desperate tactics to do what they feel is right.
