Let God separate them

9 Children Killed in U.S. Raid in Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) - A U.S. attack killed 19 insurgents and 15 civilians, including nine children, northwest of the capital Thursday - one of the heaviest civilian death tolls in an American operation in recent months. The military said it was targeting senior leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq.

Hey, what the hell, we killed more bad guys than kids!

And so what if the 15 civilians could have possibly been innocent bystanders caught up in the circumstance of bad guys escaping and taking cover?

"The first air attack killed ''four terrorists,'' said [The military] statement.

The military said it then tracked some of those who escaped the initial attack to a place south of Lake Tharthar. It said ground forces moved on the site and came under fire. Air support was called in.

''After securing the area, the ground force assessed 15 terrorists, six women and nine children were killed,'' the statement said."

You know, I guess we Americans should not sweat the small stuff. War is hell. Especially needless wars that serve absolutely no purpose.

When in doubt, call in the F-18's and blow the place to Kingdom Come!

Fuck 'em -- Let God separate 'em.
