U.S. Soldier Shoots Tiger at Baghdad Zoo - GoFuckYourself.com

What a moron....

"He was drunk," Abdul-Majeed said of the bitten soldier.

Drunk with weapons ....

It was impossible to reach the U.S. military spokesman's office because the telephones have not worked for three days.

Quote:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A U.S. soldier shot and killed a tiger at the Baghdad zoo after it bit another soldier who had reached through the bars of its cage to feed it, a zoo security guard said Saturday.

The soldiers had been drinking beer when they entered the zoo Thursday night after it closed, said the guard, Zuhair Abdul-Majeed.

"He was drunk," Abdul-Majeed said of the bitten soldier.

After the man was bit, the other American shot the tiger three times in the head and killed it, Abdul-Majeed told The Associated Press.

It was impossible to reach the U.S. military spokesman's office because the telephones have not worked for three days.

The zoo reopened July 20, three months after Baghdad was captured by the Americans.

It had 1.5 million visitors in 2001 but hit hard times more recently. Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) closed it for renovation last year, and it was scheduled to reopen on April 7 with a $27 million facelift.

Instead, on that day, American troops were on the outskirts of Baghdad, and Iraqi fighters had booted the zookeepers from the park, setting up defensive positions among the cages.

When zoo workers returned a week later, some animals lay dead in their cages, others had escaped when mortar rounds blasted open the bars, and yet others had been looted.

Some wild animals roamed the park freely, including a bear that mauled and partially ate three civilians, and three lions that were shot to death when they tried to pounce on a contingent of invading American soldiers.

Since then, the surviving animals have been nursed back to health, and more animals have been brought in from a small private zoo across town and from the private zoos found in the palaces of Saddam's family.

i hear they shoot each other a lot too, apparently the worst in history, 50% of deaths are friendly fire or non combat related

So do the Iraqis love America yet or are you still working on that dancing in the street crap your Government was talking about before the war?

We live in a vicious world. And sadly the animals are mild compared to the humans.

Okay, that's it! Our guys have Waaaayyy too much time on their hands!!

Why did the lions only attack Americans? A bear running around?

Can you imagine the looks on people's faces when they were running around during the war dodging bullets and bombs and to make matters worse giant carnivorous animals running amok???

What really pisses me off is they wasted a good tiger pelt!

eroswebmaster · 09-20-2003, 11:06 AM

Prettty stupid of anyone to put their hand in a tiger cage.
Hope they deal with this guy as they should.

However, I'm sure you all realize that once that tiger did bite a human they were probably going to have to put it down anyway.

You can't have a large animal like that, even a caged one with a taste for human bloode.

sticking your hand in a tiger cage and having bit sounds like a demonstration of darwinism to me....the tiger should have won that fight.

Tiger = WMD.
Brave Americans liberated him.

Because your formula is no good. You're comparing number of US soldiers killed in friendly fire to number of soldiers killed by opposing soldiers. US casualty rates are so low they make the friendly fire rates look high. What you should measure them against is the number of soldiers in combat or better yet the number of rounds fired.

Back in the day, the US casualty rate measured that way was much lower. It was only 2% in world war II because 1 out of 15 soldiers died in combat. That made a big denominator.

You're correct. 50% (or whatever it is) should be a record because no one is killing our soldiers. Something like 1 in 1500 for the Gulf War.
