Man, terrorists in Iraq must be getting pretty desperate to try something like this. Heck, I saw the photo and thought instantly "FAKE!" The rifle pointed at the head just screams plastic toy.

WE HAVE THIS TOY SOLDIER
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

That's actually pretty funny.

I wonder if the terrorists know what utter fools they just made themselves look like.

Maybe we can send in Buzz Lightyear or something....

wow, just wow. You people are so arrogant. Sure, just because he's just a toy, he's less important now? Disgusting.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

None of the gear the "soldier" has looks real either.
Pissed Off?

A: The gun looks fake.
B: The face looks fake.
C: The body looks fake.
D: He would probably be surrounded by people in black clothing and masks.
E: He would probably be held down on his knees like in all the other pictures and videos or blindfolded.
F: Why would they let him keep his equipment on?

Anyone think that it's real?

I know the rest does look pretty fake, but the gun in particular struck me as standing out.

If they were that desperate, we pretty much know they have nothing left at this point.

G: Since when did terrorists use US weapons? The gun is clearly an M16A2 or M4A1. Terrorists usually use AK47s

H: Holding a rifle with one hand is a bit unrealistic.

Even though that is obviously a figure (I saw a seperate article earlier that showed the exact figure in it's regular packaging - I'll try to find it), the "terrorist" could've gotten the M4 from the "soldier." Note the desert camaflouge paint on the rifle which is what the soldier would have likely carried.

Not funny.

Agreed. Using a handicapped child to pull off a suicide bombing is not only not funny but just further proves the evil nature of the enemy.

Not to mention how desperate they are. They must be running out of grown men...

"is believed to be "Special Ops Cody," a military action figure"

Those americans have taken it too far, now they're sending toys into battle. Military toys.

Not to worry though. I hear that a GW doll flying in a scale model Air Force One rescued Cody under cover of darkness last night.

Remember that film where the toy soldiers came alive? that was kind of cool... I can imagine thats where the americans got the idea.

What's next, doll terrorists kidnapping real soldiers?

I bet they just saw Team America: World Police.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Yes. That movie rocks.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

This could make a fun film... I'm going to replicate that captured soldier with an action man :p
