Honoring Those Who Saved Iraqi Orphans

(CBS)  It was a moment of shared recognition, as U.S. and Iraqi soldiers were honored for the part they played in saving 24 young Iraqi lives.

The day they unexpectedly came upon a group of special needs boys as they lay dying in an Iraqi orphanage in June was reported by CBS News' chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan. The story showed how the boys were tied up, naked and starving while those responsible kept piles of new clothing and food just down the hallway.

There was only one boy that the soldiers weren't able to save: Saddam Ali Abbas succumbed to his wounds a few weeks later.

In spite of that, an Iraqi government investigation that was presented to Parliament last month found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing; publicly, some officials accused the U.S. military and CBS News of exaggerating the condition of the emaciated boys.

But Brigadier Gen. Fallah Hassan of the 1st Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, whose men helped in the rescue, had no doubt.

"The pictures speak for themselves," he told Logan. "You can see the suffering of the boys. There's no way it can be denied."

Were it not for the soldiers, more boys would have died, according to the Iraqi doctors who treated them.

"It was disappointing for me to see kids like that, in this kind of situation. I felt really bad," says U.S. Staff Sgt. Osman Koroma, Dagger Brigade, 2nd BCT. "I almost cried the first time I saw them."

Koroma received his medal, but also a personal commendation from his commander for his actions that day.

He says the award, which he dedicates to the children, means a lot to him.

But none of these these special needs boys have ever been properly diagnosed, and there's still no special care for them.

The good thing is that these boys are still much better off than they were before, but the depressing thing about coming back is being reminded that for them, this is as good as it gets.

How very sad. Everyone is suffering because of this unholy war except the ones who started it. They will have to face God one day and explain it. Good luck Junior!

The US soldiers kill their family and then we "honor" them for saving the left to rot in a country we destroyed.

What a spin!

Go smoke another one Oakishpines. We haven't a clue what you're talking about.

[oakishpines]

you're either talking to the people
that blow up space shuttle
because someone told them to

or the prople that blow up space shuttles
because the just want to

or the people that blow up people
that blow up space shuttles
because someone told them to

or the people that blow up people
that blow up space shuttles
because they just want to

or you're talking to the people
that don't blow up anything:
the people that, most of the time,
dance get well feed world songs
rallied around the sick beds
drifiting the tems millions spore bloom
weed dragon trail fickle first aid
lunch farm cottage studiio trails


it's self-explanatory, the market share

with 300 different folk
on each of the 300 county
trail group front pages

each army occupys a tiny measure

and the get well feed world folk
occupy an unlimited measure


there may be a
get sick tax world group
at every trail crossing

but the trails are occupied
by the get well feed world folk
that do who they want to

(that was a joke,
i've almost never seen
a porno get sick tax world group
at a trail crossing,
who would do that?)

It is really sad that most of the money won't make it to the children, BUT it is a great thing that american soldiers are responsible for saving these lives. It is nice to know that we have great men and women in this country that will do whatever is needed to keep us all safe and to ensure the freedom that we all enjoy.
Thanks to those who are willing and able to help the rest of us.

Is it just me or does the last rambling post make no sense at all.

wars don't spread justice all over, trillion dollar babies don't kill 2 dollar soldiers

when there is war, most don't die they live: and most that survive because of war are not babies they are soldiers that would have been killed by the poverty and punishment

wars tend to erase first world peace keeps, not third world babies

when their's faith in war, it happens: but when there's faith in peace: it happens

forgiveness happens all day everyday, especially if you're a soldier forgiving a child: but even if you're a child forgiving a soldier

ancient tribes could feed the world though all farmed, modern ones can too though none farm

naked kids with bombs chase their neighbors' dressed parents through gardens screaming and spanking them and calling it immorality

prisons don't fill with majorities and wars with good holy folk and non-immigrants are not slaved and trail groups foreign and domestic are not-forclosed on: SHAME!

*** is no sin, it's just that god and congress won't spank you if you don't have *** on t.v., or at home the wrong way, or if you don't use the wrong word in front of not-battered parents

the neighbors don't cleanse and wholesomefy our grandkids anymore, ***!

keep your religion, currency, language, some cultures say, and today, most say: keep your money and your stuff too and share ours if you like, and volunteer often: dance get well feed world songs
