-- Posted by Briley 07 at 9:32 pm on June 19, 2008 This makes me feel sick. War tactic my arse. Heres a section from the article: The former commander of the UN peacekeeping force in eastern Congo, Major-General Patrick Cammaert, told the BBC he personally witnessed its impact. "It's a very effective weapon, because the communities are totally destroyed," he said. "You destroy communities. You punish the men, and you punish the women, doing it in front of the men." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7464462.stm -- Posted by Dont Notice Me at 9:33 pm on June 19, 2008 well....that is what happens when nations unite -- Posted by HatesYou at 9:33 pm on June 19, 2008 It's true to a certain extent -- Posted by californication at 9:33 pm on June 19, 2008 That is pretty horrible. -- Posted by GaelicFreak at 9:34 pm on June 19, 2008 The Janjaweed are using it as such. -- Posted by Syber at 9:34 pm on June 19, 2008 Sounds effective... -- Posted by peaceandlovebby at 9:35 pm on June 19, 2008 that's terrible. -- Posted by lunchbox at 9:36 pm on June 19, 2008 so fucking sick -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 9:42 pm on June 19, 2008 Man, I wish they could stick to ways of murdering people and destroying communities that didn't make me feel sick!

How dare they! Fair enough grown men shooting at each other, but when they are raping helpless women, and in some cases children, it's wrong. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 10:22 pm on June 19, 2008 Quote: from Briley 07 at 1:18 am on June 20, 2008 Quote: from TheOtherHorseman at 5:42 am on June 20, 2008 Man, I wish they could stick to ways of murdering people and destroying communities that didn't make me feel sick!

They were categorizing it as a tactic that some employ. -- Posted by allsmiles at 10:05 am on June 20, 2008 It's one of the oldest tactics in the history of warfare. It's not like they're promoting it, just recognising it.
