Just when you thought the terrorist scumbags in Iraq couldn't sink any lower.....they do.

BAGHDAD, March 26 (KUNA) - Iraqi Ministry of State for National Security on Sunday warned of touching explosive-packed candy bars found on Baghdad streets.

1 No wonder liberals love terrorists so much; they agree on everything, even the "right to choose".

2 But they are not terrorists they are freedom fighters. And the only reason they are blowing up candy is because they care about the health of the children in Iraq. If they blow up the candy the kiddies can't eat the unhealthy candy.

3 Yer prob'ly right Bill, and the leftards will likely blame the whole thing on the soldiers and Marines who pass out candy, (non-exploding), to the children. Liberals should all be killed in as painful a manner as possible.

4 Has anyone else tried to verify this story ? I have and have not been able to using google and "exploding candy in Iraq" It does not sound entirely plausible to me; especially the part about the explosive being covered in chocolate. The story is now at least 7 hours old and no on else is reporting it. Although there have been several reports of exploding candy (jawbreakers) in the USA http://www.fox21.com/Global/story.asp?S=1700613&nav=2KPpLQ50

5 They should cram all that explosive candy into the mouths of the terrorists scum and let it explode and blow them all to smitherinies

6 It is hard to believe, then again you can't put nothing past these guys. I found it in the Houston Chronicle posted 3 hours ago. I can't post the link because my comment failed due to "questionable content." Go to Google and type in "candy Iraq."

7 This is similiar to when they were handing out cups of water on hot days filled with ice and broken glass. We give candy out to the kids all the time, might be a ploy to blame US for Iraqi kids getting blown up by crazy candy.

8 The Kuwait News Agency in the past has been a pretty reliable source and has a good rep. They are after all only reporting a statement (warning) from the Iraq Ministry of State. I'll leave it up to you all as to whether the IMS is misrepresenting. IMHO the fact that the MSM isn't reporting this is indicative of absolutely nothing.

9 I hope they don't drink soda-pop when consuming such candy.

10 The Guardian reports it as candy concealed in boxes of candy: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-5712703,00.html

11 Make that "explosives concealed".

12 traderrob's right. It's being reported that Iraq's national security ministry issued a statement warning citizens about it. Not that it was happening or had happened. And that's exactly how he stated it here. I would suggest that certain people not read more into it than what was said.

13 "Certain people" don't like the terrorist insurgency to get bad press because that might translate into support for the war, and THAT might lead to support for the Republicans - a situation that "certain people" would do ANYTHING to avoid.

14 Those "Certain people" are at it again. They must really hate those moon god worshipping S.O.B's.
