I Don't Understand It...
Yesterday there was an IED attack in Kirkuk. Twelve CIVILIANS were wounded. One was killed, and it happened to be a two and a half year old child. I was at Kirkuk General Hospital, providing escort to a humanitarian mission when the incident occured. Minutes later, cars started pouring into the hospital, bringing injured for medical aid. Ordinary people who happened to be in the area of the explosion immediately sprung into action and began helping their fellow citizens. Some wounded made it to the hospital before the ambulances left the premises.
From my position, where I was providing security, I could see the carnage as the broken and bleeding were unloaded from cars, pickup trucks and ambulances. I saw the lifeless body of the toddler who was killed. He bore almost the full brunt of the explosion. The child was killed instantly. Men and women, old and young were BLOWN UP just because they were walking down the street.
...And they say we are the bad guys...
SCOUTS OUT.

It's a shame -- what happened, and that people still think that the American troops are "the bad guys." :(
I don't know what to say. we are always praying for you and for Iraq. may God bring comfort to the victims families!
This sort of thing is what I expected. The gomers are at the end stages where they've lost hope of any meaningful victory and they're now to the point of punishing the Iraqis for not rallying to their blood-soaked banners.
This is neither unprecedented nor surprising. The example that comes to mind is the order to flood the subway tunnels, used as bomb shelters, in Berlin as the Russians were on the outskirts and American B-17s overhead daily. The Nazi inner circle gave this order (thankfully not carried out) because they wanted to punish the German people for losing the war.
Same thing here. Expect a nihilistic orgy of destruction as these scumbags lash out at every chance before they are hunted down, one by one.
Good hunting.
I read news of this and thought of your Troops....
So sad for the Iraqi people.
Prayers indeed for all.
I know that just broke your heart to see the effects of that explosion, Sweetie. Hang in there. I'm praying for you.
we are not the "bad guys" to anyone in Iraq except to the "real" bad guys, who are the ones doing all this insane stuff that you have to deal with as a part of your job defending the free world against all who would deny people their freedom.
thank you for doing your job, and doing it well.
That's so jacked...all I can do is utter the words of mdg wife and pete...how helpless and heartbroken a feeling.
Truth is, it's hard to wrap your head around crap like this that happens. One can never explain the jacked phenomenon because it's beyond rationale.
Best wishes to you! Pray's that you keep your heart intact.
Thanks for the message Pete.
MGD, I know how deeply you feel about children, and know this was a tough ordeal for you all. I always knew you were the right man for the job, that you are where God wants you to be. Yes, it must feel like Hades with the heat. I couldn't have said it better than Pete. Thanks, Pete
You are continually in our prayers, Little Mazza
Your so right,
What I find unfathomable is they are blowing each other up to force us to leave, when we've said we'll leave when they quit trying to blow us up.
It'd be comical if it weren't so tragic.
MDG-
I can't get your email to come up...it sends me to an error page. I wanted to send you this post I did on Memorial Day in our rural county in Virginia...
Now it can serve as a reminder that you *are* the good guys.
Still in the Thick of It

Hey; check out my sister's blog. She is starting to write on Islam. :)
I hope all is well with you and your troops. Silence was never a good sign out there. Unless of course it was due to some AF geek who cut up the wrong fiber optic cable.
Be Safe
I, personally, would rather take my chances at a suicide bomb, than the hundreds of 500, 1000, and 2000 lb. bombs falling on my neighborhood. Plus, those suicide bombers wouldn't even be in Iraq if the U.S. wasn't there.
To add to the bomb theory. Did you know that these 21st century U.S. bombs are much worse than reported? Much worse than the bombs used in Desert Storm that have caused 300,000 disabilities to arise since 1991? Not only are they using depleted uranium, they are using plutonium. Fallujah, Baghdad, and Al Qaim, along with all the other cities and towns that have been bombed, are completely polluted with radioactive waste.
