The report said it was likely that an Iraqi army unit at a bridge 900 meters away also heard the attack "but chose to not become an active participant in the attack on either side."

I know it's incredibly PC to trust the Iraqi army, and I'm sure the US commanders were told to do so. But we should have been in the Ronald Reagan "trust but verify" mode. That is, no US commanding officer in his right mind should have entrusted his forces to the Iraqi army.
