Why We Shot at Sgrena and Killed Nicola Calipari

Major K. reports an incident in Iraq, where he is stationed:

A short distance from our FOB, A US convoy was driving down the road. As they headed to their destination a civilian vehicle pulled on from a side alley and attempted to get into the convoy....Unable to deter the vehicle from approaching the US convoy or make it pull over, the IPÂ’s [Iraqi Police] fired at the engine of the encroaching vehicle. At this point, the driver detonated the IED inside his vehicle. Yes, this was a classic VBIED.

This suicide bomber killed himself and the four IPÂ’s in the vehicle holding him at bay. The device was so powerful that the bomberÂ’s vehicle was literally obliterated. The engine block was thrown over 25 meters. The IPÂ’s vehicle was nothing but a burned out shell. All four IPÂ’s inside perished in the blast, but not a scratch was inflicted on the vehicles or personnel of the US convoy.

Hat tip to John Donovan who reminds us that it's not just Americans who are dying for Iraqis, but Iraqis dying for Americans.

1 it's not just Americans who are dying for Iraqis, but Iraqis dying for Americans. Poor bastards. Poor, poor bastards.

2 Sgrena can consider herself extremely lucky to be alive. If someone had to die in that car, too bad it was Calipari.

3 Gee, didn'tke I say that somewhere here in these postings? Any car that is not going to stop and is going the speed it is, is going to be taken as a suicide bomber. Man, I know that comment is somewhere on these pages. Cindy

4 Any car that is travelling near an US convoy is going to be taken as a suicide bomber and shot at? Men, you have to be proud to have freed Iraq like this! Keep freeing it, and there won't be any Iraqis left to be freed. Who's to be freed next? Iran, Syria? Russia? Or China maybe? Why not Canada and France?

5 Good job Paul of making the violence in Iraq the fault of the victims. Zarqawi would be proud of your efforts.

6 I think we need to annex Canada. They have plenty of fresh water. As for France...well, I like beaujolais, ok, lets annex France too but pass a law that requires women to shave their armpits.

7 Don't let the cat out of the bag, Mr.K, but I think the Albertans will support an invasion to free them from Ottawa's domination.

8 Jawa You people are some scary motherlovers. Blood lust describes this site.

9 Don't let the cat out of the bag, Mr.K, but I think the Albertans will support an invasion to free them from Ottawa's domination. You are kidding, arent'you? Because, if you are not, Canadians really should begin to worry.

10 PAUL: How many years did it take you to learn to turn a computer on? It was humor. Leave this blog now. We have enough moonbats.

11 Well, I was stupid not to understand it was a joke, I can't deny that. But think about it... Think how the US image has changed if not-US people (like me) find it conceivable that they could invade Canada! The problem is that I used to love America, and now America scares me to my bones.

12 We should annex America Lite (Canada) but I think we should ethically cleanse the French out of Canada and Europe The bunch of cheese eatin' surrender monkeys! I am sooo glad that everyone is afraid of the US and what we might do....that's the way it ought to be (tongue slightly in cheek)

13 Yea, Yea. Most moonbats are always afraid of something.

14 Don't worry we won't invade Canada. If we did, we would have to take in the ragsheads on every street corner in Toronto. Maybe there are more in Montreal. Don't know as I don't travel to French territory.

15 I guess I shouldn't tell Paul about the tv show Southpark, should I? Back to topic, Sgrena has started telling yet another version of her story that shows her lack of credibility link here to Captain Ed's discussion.

16 During an argument between the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Peres said that Israelis' policies of continued violence might "turn the US against us".   To this Sharon retorted:   "EVERY TIME WE DO SOMETHING, YOU TELL ME AMERICANS WILL DO THIS AND WILL DO THAT. I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY CLEAR: DON'T WORRY ABOUT AMERICAN PRESSURE ON ISRAEL;   WE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, CONTROL AMERICA. AND THE AMERICANS KNOW IT."   -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon October 3, 2001 (IAP News)

17 Greyrooster welcome back your wit and charm have been sorely missed

18 Paul, For your positive opinon about America to change so easily means either it was never earnest, or, that you have no clue what this country has historically done when attacked - do not let eight years of Clinton's passive foreign policy and weakness convince you we are something we are not.

19 "greg", You don't mention that "IAP News" is an islamic terrorist organization. The bottom line? You are an anti-semite liar found on the sole of my shoes. And a terrorist symp. CAMERA debunks the lie by "greg".

20 greg: either share your drugs or quit posting the same thing over and over. Sparky: Back, but a little lighter in the pockets. All in family either sore or sick. The crap tables are better than ski slopes even if you pay a little. Local brothel now run by the Federal Government. No shit! They took it over for back taxes. Figured if the feds were there I wouldn't be. Rather buck the dice than the feds. Never heard of taxing P___y before. Only in America. God, I love it.

21 A well sick and sore means you had a great time I hope you and your family are visiting my Beautiful Country when you come to the UK Bonnie Scotland has no P---- Tax you should love it

22 And some bonnie redheads.

23 I must be slipping. Cindy hasn't corrected me yet. She's my politically correct conscience. Now, now greyrooster, you must be more sensitive of the feelings of others. After 4 shots of Johnny Walker she's probably correct. Sparkys fault. Got me thinking about Scotland. Just heard 6 people were killed in a church this morning. I kill you in the name of God who is all merciful. Bullshit. If I were Emperor of the United Nations I would outlaw religion. Ah. United Nations. Now thats a bunch of bullshit. No such animal. United, yea sure! United to protect their jobs and stupid diplomatic immunity.
