Quote:The boy was spotted after appearing confused at a checkpoint. The vest was defused and no one was hurt.
The next sentence puts that one into context...
Quote:The claim came only hours after the second report this week that civilians had been killed in Nato military operations.
What oh-so convenient timing for such a 'revelation' to occur. NATO are under heavy criticism due to their continued targetting of civilians, then all of a sudden NATO troops _claim_ they defuse a 6yo. boy wired with a suicide vest... Yeh right.
Can't say NATO aren't trying in the damage control and propaganda war... sadly they're still losing
Simple facts are, they don't want the Western armies there, they will continue resisting them until they end up like the Soviets, and the West is only going to be a loser out of it all.... Some people just never learn the lessons of history I guess. Woulda thought the British would be a little wiser, having already lost there 3 times in the recent past.
Also later in the article we read:
Quote:The date of the incident, the boy's name and information on what happened to him afterwards were not immediately available, Lt Col Accetta said.
How convenient?
And even the Guardian themselves seem to cast some doubt on the veracity of the tale:
Quote:The Guardian has been unable to independently corroborate the claim.
Yadda, you seem to be a bit of a sucker for wartime propaganda mate...
Anything to soothe the conscience though I guess. But one day you're going to have to wake up to and face the realities of what's being done there in your name... One day it's going to be made clear, and the scales are going to tip back... Are you prepared for that day?
