Friendly Fire in Iraq Takes Toll on U.S.-Led Coalition - and Iraqis
by Rawya Rageh and Todd Pitman

BAGHDAD, IRAQ -- They're told every day across Iraq - tragic stories of people dying in hails of gunfire, shattered windshields and car seats covered in blood.

Friendly fire - often at U.S. military checkpoints - is taking a toll on the United States and its allies, as the shooting deaths of an Italian intelligence agent and a Bulgarian soldier highlight the terrifying reality of Iraqi roads.

"They're just cowboys," an infuriated Abdullah Mohammed said Monday of U.S. troops who killed his brother Feb. 28 in Ramadi. Mohammed said his brother edged too close to an American patrol. "They killed him without any reason, they suddenly shot at his car."

Weary of suicide car bombers, U.S. military vehicles in Iraq carry signs in Arabic warning civilians to keep a distance or risk "deadly force." Similar warnings are affixed to fortified, tank-manned U.S. checkpoints around the capital.

In a country where insurgents strike daily, there's no doubt some of the force is justified. But Iraqi civilians are getting tangled up in the violence as well, at an alarming rate.

Interesting balanced Point of View.

this is the bi-product of invading and occupying enemy territory. Civilians are all victims, they have it coming for being there. They're dying for not staying in their homes and being good little prisoners of the Bush administration.

If you know the dog will bite you ,why do you still climb the fence and try to pet it.

As long as the administration spins a rosey picture there is no problem...

Checkpoints are a necessity in any war scenario, otherwise the insurgents could run loose at will.

Rochard · 03-07-2005, 04:54 PM

The entire country is a war zone, and the defeated military is hiding amount the cilvilian population. What do you expect?

It's really no different than if I didn't follow directions trying to enter Luke Air Force Base down the street.

So, how do you suggest acting then?
Would you rather have saddam still in power and assad with a death grip on Lebanon and the Palestinian still bombing away?
Or is a Irak rid of saddam, a Syria getting out of Lebanon and a Palestinian state almost there a better situation?

Charming.

And where is the problem in being progressive?

I suppose you'd rather have thousands of people in Africa die from Aids since they can't afford the vaccine...as no price was yet to be set. Fuck them eh?

I suppose the Kyoto Accord is fucked up communist propoganda?

We should sit Idley(sp?) as children are exploited as sex slaves
as a current Administration undermines it's very own constitution
as people are exploited by greedy corporations - American and French, and British....

You are a credit wealthy white people everywhere!

Don't waste your time.

Attacking the source is the only thing that people like him can do when they read something that doesn't go along with their ideology.

The ideology escapes me...I must be inept.

I would rather die now than watch my kids die from emphazyma as a result of the product of melting icecaps and unrestricted pollution.

It is a very real concern...to ignore this is arrogant and incredibly selfish.
