Iraqi police report details civilians' deaths at hands of U.S. troops

[Andre II]

Iraqi police have accused American troops of executing 11 people, including a 75-year-old woman and a 6-month-old infant, in the aftermath of a raid last Wednesday on a house about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

The villagers were killed after American troops herded them into a single room of the house, according to a police document obtained by Knight Ridder Newspapers. The soldiers also burned three vehicles, killed the villagers' animals and blew up the house, the document said.

(...)

Accusations that U.S. troops have killed civilians are commonplace in Iraq, though most are judged later to be unfounded or exaggerated. Navy investigators announced last week that they were looking into whether Marines intentionally killed 15 Iraqi civilians - four of them women and five of them children - during fighting last November. But the report of the killings in the Abu Sifa area of Ishaqi, eight miles north of the city of Balad, is unusual because it originated with Iraqi police and because Iraqi police were willing to attach their names to it.

1. Yeah

Winning mind and souls of the people with guns and bombs
Sure working well

This no Vietnam
Communist not big population
However this bigger cause branding of Islamic terrorist
Bush open uber pandora box
Terrorism is not a religion
Religion a tool of madman becomes very destructive.

All this happening in Iraq dont sit well with people around the world
All this branding of religion and using it as a tool more than sick
All this will have very very bad ending maybe take decades to repair

No need brains to figure this out
What has been done what we all can see worldwide
All bad for US,
All this done by bush in the name of a once great country
Now no more
All the hardwork of all the past presidents just shot to pieces for one mad ego crazy president.
Yeah history will mark his era well.
He shall be remember well
He got what he desired
FAME.............for being an ######
