BAGHDAD -- Child fighters, once a rare presence on Iraq's battlefields, are playing a significant and growing role in kidnappings, killings and roadside bombings in the country, U.S. military officials say.

Boys, some as young as 11, now outnumber foreign fighters at U.S. detention camps in Iraq. Since March, their numbers have risen to 800 from 100, said Maj. Gen. Douglas Stone, the commander of detainee operations. The Times reported last month that only 130 non-Iraqi fighters were in U.S. custody in Iraq.

Stone attributes the rise in child fighters in the country, in part, to the pressure that the U.S. buildup of troops has placed on the flow of foreign fighters.

Fewer of them are making it into the country, he said, and the militant group Al Qaeda in Iraq is having a difficult time recruiting adults locally. Thus, it has turned to children.

...... yeah right, it is AQI. :eyes:

from its occupiers.

"there" and let them hold your gavel while you tell them about "freedom?"

Do you support this incarceration of 11 year old children by the government of the United States? Speak up or get the hell out of Congress where you have supported your buddy, George!

:thumbsdown:

Shame on America, the land of the no-longer free.

to catch? I say: fight somebody your own size, or leave!

I am sure they are just children of the resistance who get caught up in the US dragnet. It is sickening.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

brainwash them to accept the US New World Order.
