US troops save Iraqi children

Move America Forward wants you to see the video of Iraqi orphans and American soldiers who rescue them.

The pro-troop organization Move America Forward is pleased to be spreading the word about a story that will pull at your heart and probably bring a tear or two to your eyes.

U.S. Troops continue to show the world that they are decent and kind people trying to make the world a better, safer place. CBS News found that out when they reported on an Iraqi orphanage where unbelievable neglect of the children was taking place - until U.S. Troops came and rescued the children.

U.S. Troops are not the terrorists that Rosie O'Donnell intimates that we are. They are not like Nazis or Soviets in their Gulags as Senator Dick Durbin has suggested. And they are determined to succeed in their missions despite comments by Senator Harry Reid that they've "lost" and that their generals are "incompetent."

The video can be seen at CBS
The BBC has picked up the CBS News Report and you can see it on YouTube in case you have trouble watching the CBS News Report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT4Sbju6Mmo

We need more and more of this..Thanks for posting it. Our military is the toughest; yet most moral in the world. Life is precious, especially to them. There is a long history of the military and children during war, a wonderful one.

I agree Trinity. We need to see good news, because the MSM won't print it.

Rosie O'donnell is the most putrid glob of bloated flesh going. Maybe that's the medias fascination with her. Not mine. I change channels.

Our military has always been a pretty good bunch. I should know, I used to be one of them. :-)

I do think the war in Iraq is lost and has been for quite awhile, but if it is, it sure wasn't they who lost it, it was the all-thumbs handling by Bush and Rumsfeld.

Something I've noticed by its absence, too, is that we've heard from every ex-general and every single ex-member of Bushs cabinet except for Donald Rumsfeld. I wonder what that's about.

He's such an arrogant bastard that he's probably still licking his wounded ego and pouting.

How I do digress. Back to the kids, our guys were handing out their rations to starving kids in Europe back in World War II. We've always had every reason to be proud of our troops and I'm glad you took the time to point this out. Things like this are always in a tiny little paragraph on the back page if they ever make the news at all, and the world needs to be reminded that WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS.

Rastaman, you are right. Haven't heard one word from Rumsfeld. It's like he fell off the planet. That's odd.

Yep, our troops are the good guys and in WWII you heard that on the news. That's what is different this time, they only report when we accidentally injure a child.

About the accidental injuring of children...

In WWII, the US and Britain carpet-bombed entire cities, killing everyone. We fire-bombed the city of Dresden, the ball-bearing manufacturing center of Germany, and wiped it out. There were few survivors. Dams were destroyed, causing enormous floods to sweep away entire towns. We nuked Heroshima and Nagasaki. We indiscriminately killed hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of civilian workers and their families, women, children, babies and all.

It was war. This is what you do in war. This is why war is hated by reasonable people. The innocent die along with the combatants.

The United States has set a new standard never before seen in thousands of years of war. We have developed weapons of such precision that we are able, for the very first time and alone of all nations, to limit and even sometimes eliminate civilian casualties.

So now, when innocents are killed, our enemies point fingers of guilt at us as if the deaths were deliberate, while they go on slaughtering people indiscriminately by the hundreds and the thousands. Those in our media who portray our military as clumsy child-killers need to be reminded of the past when children were such a common casualty of war that no one ever mentioned them at all.

Anything for a headlne.

Great post. These things happen all the time to no fanfare. The troops don't gripe, but we should post them when we get them.
