US kills four Iraqis, Falluja residents vow revenge
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/RUS728168.htm

FALLUJA, Iraq, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Iraqi police said on Saturday U.S. forces shot dead four Iraqis on a road just outside the volatile town of Falluja and angry residents vowed to avenge the killings.

U.S. forces said they were shot at first and that two Iraqis were killed when they returned fire in the incident at a checkpoint late on Friday.

But Iraqi police officer Ibrahim Mohammed told Reuters three men and one woman from the same family were killed. Television footage showed four bodies in a nearby hospital and several wounded including a small girl.

Chanting "America is the enemy of God" and "We will avenge the blood of our martyrs" hundreds of mourners gathered at the hospital on Saturday to take the first of the bodies for burial.

1. In the past
When the Fallujah residents vow revenge, they have tended to 'get' revenge.

Thanks for the clusterfuck, Bushie.

2. I think they already started their revenge
They bombed the Al Rashid hotel, where the military stay. No-one hurt so the report says.

3. We kill them,
They kill us.

We kill them,
They kill us.

Is it that hard to understand?
