Ten Iraqi security personnel, Jordanian guard killed by US fire

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - Ten Iraqi security personnel and a Jordanian guard were killed by US "friendly fire" here early Friday as this flashpoint Sunni region erupted into a frenzy of violence for the second time in as many days. snip

When they reached the Jordanian Red Crescent hospital to the north of the town, they ran into US soldiers who opened fire on them, he said.

Hospital staff said several of the US rounds had hit the hospital, where a Jordanian guard died.

Angry crowds of Fallujah residents gathered outside both the governorate and police headquarters to protest the deaths. They came just two days after US troops killed one Iraqi policeman and wounded another following a roadside bombing on the outskirts of this Sunni Muslim bastion 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Baghdad.

1. All together now: They hate us for our freedom!

Shooting up their citizenry doesn't even enter into the equation.

5. Yes, it is only Saddam Loyalists and Foreign Terrorists who oppose us.

There is no popular uprising against occupation, so stop saying that!

2. This stuff is bloody unbelievable!

Is there no end to the out of control mess that Bush has cooked up?

3. I am appalled at so many things the U.S. has done in our name, however,

I also feel some compassion for these soldiers - these weekend warrior soldiers - mamas and daddies and sisters and brothers, a number of whom I know that are over there and never expected to be - who are scared to death and are a target and have no idea who the enemy is. They just want to get the heck home and I can see how they would fire out of fear. (I'm not just talking about this situation but just being over there in general.) What a horrible quagmire the moran got us into.
