I guess they're getting softer in the old age:
The Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq is telling its followers to soften their tactics in order to regain popular support in the western province of Anbar, where Sunni tribes have turned against the organization and begun working with U.S. forces, according to group leaders and American intelligence officials.
However, it's important to not forget the kind of people the world is dealing with. Here's a gem of a headline:
"Insurgents Are Teaching Youths to Kill, U.S. Asserts." And from inside the WP article:
Abu Anwar al-Obaidi, an al-Qaeda in Iraq member in Garma, east of Fallujah in Anbar province, said the videos were authentic but described the boys as orphans and beggars. Some were the kidnapped children of Iraqi policemen and soldiers, he said.
"They should expect not only kids to be trained," Obaidi said in a telephone interview with a Washington Post special correspondent. "We might even put bombs on animals and send them to checkpoints. The American forces will find it impossible to find a solution for this. They will be forced to kill kids, animals, which will bring shame on the American forces."
If the quote and story are accurate, it's amazing to know that such a pathetic belief system exists. This AQI guy WANTS American soldiers to kill children. Ridiculous.
