Why we don't blow these cars up (preferably with iraqi's in them) is beyond me.

Not enough troops there to counter attack.

Why is Bush wasting time negotiating with these people. The only thing they understand is fear. Changing them to appreciate freedom is going to take years. Meanwhile are people are being killed.

Broadcast a warning for all non combatants to leave the area within 48 hours and let the carpet bombing begin.

One participant told a reporter "See how Iraqis fight!

In two wars we have seen exactly how they run. They only kill Americans by ambush. They are real chicken$#it$.

Them to us? The enemy baited our WMD team with false information into a boobytrapped building.

At the [Turkish] embassy, the guards became unsettled at the sight of a dozen cheering Iraqis riding atop a burnt U.S. military vehicle and opened fire on the crowd of supporters, causing everyone involved to dive for cover.

We could use more of this Turkish Diplomacy, if you ask me.

Crowds of men and boys jumped on top of the vehicle as they took a triumphant victory lap around the neighborhood streets until they came upon the Turkish Embassy. At the embassy, the guards became unsettled at the sight of a dozen cheering Iraqis riding atop a burnt U.S. military vehicle and opened fire on the crowd of supporters, causing everyone involved to dive for cover

The Turks have the right idea. If you see a bunch of Iraqi criminals riding around in a burned, stolen US Humvee, shoot them.

Good point. They will try to be victorious by any means necessary and so will we...sort of anyway.

An explosion that killed al least three U.S. personnel in Baghdad was an ambush of a top-secret unit detailed to search for weapons of mass destruction

Where are all of those Iraqis that love us?

As the crowd gathered around the burning vehicles, children began pelting them with rocks and men used sticks, axes and sledgehammers to break off chunks of the destroyed equipment.

More good Iraqi citizens?

At one point, several men actually started one of the burning vehicles, put the fire out, and drove it around the neighborhood while it spewed oil and black smoke. Crowds of men and boys jumped on top of the vehicle as they took a triumphant victory lap around the neighborhood streets until they came upon the Turkish Embassy.

This is down right embarrassing.

Bingo. Basically a microcosm of the whole adventure.
