US troops slaughter brave Iraqi firefighters
 

In Falluja on Monday, American troops, responding to a report that a fire truck had been hijacked by insurgents, stopped a fire truck matching the description, the command reported. As the truck's four occupants "exited quickly," the statement said, the troops opened fire, killing them.

American troops later discovered that the men were actually firefighters responding to an emergency call and were not riding in the hijacked truck. "The fire truck number did not match the one of the hijacked truck," the military said. Troops spotted the correct truck "minutes later," but the occupants fled, evading capture, the statement said.

Shit happen :Oh crap

They were real firefighters but they were promoting zango.

Think this will find Dateline, CNN, MSNBC...?

:( so sad :(

At least they did not rape their wives and daughters and then burn their houses down. Bush is right things are improving!

And your point is?

Sounds like the point is that firefighters got shot in error in a fuckup?

I think he's just less than subtly asking to be flamed.

Ask him how many people died due to the incompetence of his beloved Chernobyl; and that wasn't even a fight - that was routine tests done so piss poor that it caused a chain reaction.

He's one of the few to find a place in my 'ignore' files - he never does anything but ruffle feathers.

Casualties of War? :(

Fucked up!

Deej are you comparing Vietnam to Iraq? LOL

Vietnam US Casualties 58,209
Iraq US Casualties 2,803

THATS A BIG DIFFERENCE lol

i dont think he was comparing the casualty count.. perhaps just the futility of trying to make people be peacefull when they have every reason to hate you

How brave were those firefighters?

Brave?

More like no other option.

Thats like saying the Iraqi army is "brave" Which is why they surrendered after 5mins both times.

Bullshit, they live in a desert...they work for the govt because its the only job available.

Shit happens

U wanna see brave...go walk around falluja & meet some of these 18yo kids firing RPG's are heavy armored tanks.

i didnt mention casualties... though yes your right, huge difference. but the cause....its similar....what cause....

I compare not

Daddy, is that you?

That's not brave. If they get killed, they are rewarded with a eternal orgy with 72 hot virgins. :thumbsup

fog of war bitch, what would you have done?

Oh well.

We accidentally kill civillians. Did you hear? The other guys do this on purpose!!!

I should use this as my sig

a fire fighter in any country is brave.

a fire fighter who drives through dangerous streets to save people and stop buildings from burning down is even more so.

a fire fighter who mistakenly is shot when a group of dissidence are stealing another truck are no less brave but it is a tragedy

This is a sad story and can not be easily blamed on American troops or the involvement in the countries organization.
