Occupation Iraq: Americans Kill 12-Year-Old Boy

"American troops in Mosul killed a 12-year-old boy.... the boy was "involved" in the attack and was found with 10,000 dinars, or about $9, in his hand.... the boy selling candy was shot when US soldiers fired"

Oh, well, he must have been a "terrorist."

"Iraqi leader calls for war on corruption; Nation's recovery hampered by theft of public funds" by Hamid Ahmed, Associated Press | May 10, 2009

BAGHDAD - Corruption watchdog Transparency International rated Iraq the third most corrupt country in the world after Somalia and Myanmar....

Something to be proud of, American. We showed 'em how it's done!

Iraq has struggled with corruption since the 2003 US-led invasion, and government workers have been accused of absconding with billions of dollars earmarked for reconstruction, military supplies, and food....

How do you like that piece of Muslim-hating propaganda, huh?

The implication is that those Muslims are corrupt no matter what we do for them.

I think AmeriKa's contractors and war looters stole much more, folks!

But there are increasing signs that Iraqis have become fed up. "Corruption is a violation of both religious and moral norms and laws," the influential Iraqi Shiite preacher Sheik Abdel-Mahdi Karbalai said Friday in his weekly sermon.

First of all, I'm surprised they quoted a Shi'ite preacher; however, this is WHY the U.S. needs a version of Sharia Law.

OUR POLITICIANS need to think like Muslims:

STEALING from the PUBLIC is like STEALING from GOD!!!!

Also yesterday, the US military said two soldiers died in separate noncombat incidents.

Yeah, right, noncombat incidents.

Please stop lying, military and MSM.

There was also was sporadic violence in the country. A gunman killed a police brigadier general south of Basra, according to the city's police spokesman. In Mosul, a gunman shot dead an off-duty policeman.

The US military also said American troops in Mosul killed a 12-year-old boy when they opened fire on two or three people who threw a grenade at a US-Iraqi patrol Thursday. US spokesman Major Derrick Cheng said the boy was "involved" in the attack and was found with 10,000 dinars, or about $9, in his hand.

Iraqi police Brigadier General Abdul-Karim al-Jubouri confirmed the attack but said a boy selling candy was shot when US soldiers fired.

I know who I'm believing at this point.
