Damn - These unlucky things keep happening. Something is wrong when an Iraqi general doesn't know the danger of traveling after curfew.

How do you say "don't you know who I am" in Iraqii?
To: HAL9000
If this were true it would be all over the news. Keep the source in mind.

If true, there is a systemic, major break down in coms and orders. Or worst, sabotage and disinfo being injected on purpose. I have heard rumors that foreign intelligence services have been recruiting troops in Iraq. Something else to consider.

Something is wrong when an Iraqi general doesn't know the danger of traveling after curfew. Either he was stupid or running errands for the terrorists. In either case we don't need or want him commanding anybody.
I'm glad to see the troops are shooting first and asking questions later. There's no other way with these guys.

"Either he was stupid or running errands for the terrorists."
My thought as well.

Agree - All of the things you mention are distinct possibilities. I favor some kind of disinformation designed to cause these accidents as the reason. You've got to think the infiltration level is pretty high at this point.

That was 1700GMT; that would my local 10AM MST; I have CBS Evening news on right now, and not a word yet. If true I would expect them of all nets to be trumpeting it.
If they aren't running it after having 6+ hours to get a nasty word out about it, I have my doubts.
I'll give them a few more minutes, then switch back to Fox.

I give this report no credence yet, but let's be real here--this shouldn't be happening. Our soldiers killing the wrong people is a bad thing.

If this is correct.
Prayers for the Iraqi general and his family.

Maybe, since he was the deputy commander of the Iraqi troops in the region, he thought he was entitled to be out after curfew. Why is it that when mistakes like this happen, some of us always feel like the person shot must have been doing something wrong. That is no better than the idiots on the other side saying the troops shooting him must have been doing it on orders or that it was some kind of conspiracy.
