"Coalition forces surveillance elements observed a group of men setting up and firing mortars in the Doura neighborhood of southern Baghdad. After they fired the mortars, the men hid the mortar tube nearby," a U.S. military statement said.And what's the surest, most ethical way to eliminate such a threat? KABOOM!
The U.S. military said it estimated two or three people were killed or wounded but could not give a precise figure as the bodies were removed before troops arrived at the scene.We regret that we've pissed off everyone in Iraq so much that when someone fires at us, instead of sending in troops to root out the freedom-hating minions of the Old Man of the Mountain and avoid harming those whose crime was to be born on top of our oil, we blow the fuck out of everything. Now, does everyone have their story straight?
"We regret when civilians are hurt or killed while coalition forces search to rid Iraq of terrorism. Terrorists continue to deliberately place innocent Iraqi women and children in danger by their actions and presence," the U.S. statement said.
"I know *I* regret it!"

Don't be fooled by that leftwing propaganda picture. Them folks is turrists.
You're probably right. Just outside the view of the lens, this madrasah honor student is probably killing a captured American with his electroshock bionic foot. Just look at the evil in his eyes!
The U.S. government prefers to think of it s collateral damage...a small price to pay for future trillions of dollars in oil.
For wingnuts, any brown person deserves to die, especially muslim, so no great loss for them. I'm sure wingnuts would say "why were they so close to the Al Qaeda operatives anyway?" Guilt by association, birds of feather sort of thing.
We've completely dehumanized Iraqis. They're like goldfish to most Americans.

Polshifter: Except for severely injured prepubertal Iraqis -- always injured by insurgent forces, never by Coalition forces because that would be, you know, rather awkward -- who are "adopted" by church or charitable groups and transported out of Iraq for extensive medical treatment because, you know, that shows that Westerners are not realy Crusaders.
It's the Hiroshima Maidens syndrome.
Should have read: It's the latest variant of the Hiroshima Maidens syndrome.
