Taliban use kids in combat roles

NATO troops wary of firing on children

By MATTHEW FISHER, Canwest News ServiceOctober 26, 2009

A 12-year-old boy caught in the act Friday as he put a homemade bomb under a road in the volatile Zhari District grabbed a baby as a human shield to protect himself from attack from the United States helicopter that spotted him.

The incident, in an area where U.S. forces operate under Canadian command, appears to be part of a Taliban strategy to use youngsters as lookouts or human shields, or to carry out attacks, because they know NATO rules of engagement make troops extremely reluctant to open fire in such situations.

There have been 29 incidents in which children have helped commit attacks or otherwise abetted the Taliban in Afghanistan’s four southern provinces since March, according to a document provided by the Canadian military. Eight of the incidents have taken place this month.

In the warped mind of a socialist, these deaths are all the West’s fault, you know, because the West has been trying to impinge unnatural Western values on them,

The problem with this analysis is that many on the American right wing are saying the same thing.

Bring back the neocons.
