US troops participating in the Iraqi chaos
http://news.monstersandcritics.com/middleeast/article_1132280.php/Over_dozen_civilians_killed_in_a_wave_of_violence_in_Iraq

Five Iraqis attempting to enter conflict-ridden Samarra, 110 kilometers north of Baghdad, were killed by a US army patrol on Thursday after a security cordon was placed on the city.

An Iraqi police told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that members of an Iraqi family were trying to get through one of the northern gates of the city when US troops opened fire on them and killed them.



Man, the US needs to try real hard not to get drawn into this mess, or else we are fucked.

2. "not to get drawn in"?
We are way in over our heads already. Too late for that concern.

The gates of hell are open and we have jumped into that lake of fire.

Sad fact .... in Feb. of 03 bush did not know the difference between Kurds, Shi ites, and Sunnis.

8. Which side are we on?
This is THE definition of "clusterfuck", and it's 100% Bush's fault. Nice legacy you're going to have, asshole. I just hope he gets to spend most of it in prison.
