Winning their hearts and minds, eh?
“U.S. kills 15 Iraqis during an anti-American rally
United States soldiers shot and killed 15 people at an anti-American rally late Monday, hospital officials said today. Iraqis said the soldiers opened fire, unprovoked, while the Americans — who were positioned in a school — said they were fired on first and then carefully counterattacked.
Either way, with 65 people reported wounded during the rally on Saddam Hussein’s birthday, sentiment against the American military presence jumped several notches, even as United States officials are seeking to build greater trust among ordinary Iraqis.”
Can you say “Lebanon”? I knew you could…
