Associated Press, "soldiers killed by Iraqi Patrolmen"

Please Note, this post is not about the two soldiers who were killed and mutilated over the last few days. It seems the death of two American soldiers will have to be pulled from the Republicans infromercial  they've been performing in the Congress & Senate for days now. This incident occured in 2004 and involves a joint patrol of American and Iraqi "civil defense" troops  Again the republicans are using their excessive power running the house, the senate and the white house, to exploit this war and our brave soldiers.  Their rant all day yesterday was "lets avenge the deaths of our  soldiers"   well, it's a little hard to pull that off when the killers are the ones we trained, they are  supposedly on our side.  How much do we pay daily to train these troops???

How bad can this get, the article from the AP is here story is here:

The AP quotes a mother of one of the dead soldiers:

Soldiers who witnessed the attack have told her that two Iraqi patrolmen opened fire on her son's unit. The witnesses also said a third gunman simultaneously drove up to the American unit in a van, climbed onto the vehicle and fired at the Americans, she said.

"Nothing is clear. Nothing is clear," she said. Her son was shot eight times by bullets of various calibers, some of which penetrated his body armor, she said. She believes he bled to death.

Nadia McCaffrey has become a vocal critic of the war in Iraq, and said her son had reservations about it, too, though he served well and was promoted posthumously to sergeant.

"I really want this story to come out; I want people to know what happened to my son," she said. "There is no doubt to me that this (ambushes by attached Iraqi units) is still happening to soldiers today, but our chain of command is awfully reckless; they don't seem to give a damn about what's happening to soldiers."

Iraqi forces who had trained with the Americans had fired at them twice before the incident that killed Patrick McCaffrey, and he had reported it to his superiors, she said.

Just another disgraceful chapter in this nightmare, this unjustified, disgraceful war.  Check out Congressman John Murtha on last Sunday's  Meet the Press, he described   Karl Rove who was talking up the war, calling  the democrats cowards, labeling the democrats desire to change policy 'cut & run...' Murtha pointed out how easy it is for Rove to preach "stay the course" as he sits with his fat ass in an air conditioned room while our soldiers are marching in 130 degree heat carrying an 70 lb packs on their backs.  You can find that interview here:
