1. It's an odd way to train the Iraqi soldiers.
I don't mean to make light of this, but I'm so sick of the daily death tolls, on both sides.:-(

2. Its just all sooo confusing...
I saw this earlier and thought about it. So a soldier shoots an Iraqi who had shot a US soldier. WTF ?

3. Vietnam redux. It was just a matter of time.
I Vietnam, we had the "Tigers".

We would try to find ways to kill them during the day so they could not kill us at night.

Things go round in circles, don't they?
