Two U.S. troops were killed Saturday by an Iraqi soldier who apparently smuggled real bullets into a training exercise and opened fire, raising fresh concerns about insurgents worming into the nations security forces as the Americans prepare to leave by the end of the year.
A U.S. military official said the shooter was immediately killed by American soldiers who were running the morning drill at a training center on a U.S. base in the northern city of Mosul. The U.S. official said the exercise was not meant to involve live ammunition, and an Iraqi army officer said the shooting appeared to have been planned. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

While only about 5% of Muslims are violent, the rest won’t lift a finger to stop them.

Where did you get this 5% from? I always thought it was 95%.

Has no one heard of lie detectors?..
Any recruit should be debriefed by lie detector..
Could be American troops should be "treated" as security as well..
Hmmm... politicians/candidates?.. Now theres an idea?..

If a Muslim doesn’t think lying to an infidel is wrong, would a lie detector test work?

There are things going on that we don’t know about. Suppose you have to train a Muslim to fly an aircraft we sold (or gave) to Iraq or Afghanistan. What assurance do you have that the trainee won’t suddenly wig out on Allah, go bizzerk and attack anything in his path?
I bet there are hundreds of reports like this one. Our strategy is flawed and is fruitless. Gates and Mullen don’t want to know the enemy-—the truth is horrible!

NEVER, not for any cause, reason or circumstance, EVER, trust a muslim.
The only reason they exist, just like their father, is to steal, kill and destroy. Oh yeah — and lie.

The vast majority of IA in Mosul are Kurdish, something like 95%. I’m willing to wager the gunman was from the other 5%.
