A tragedy to be sure. And I'm certain there were no pregnant women killed in the Towers.

[Jeff Chandler]

And away we go. The new Drive-By Media meme.

[cricket]

no telling who was under the berka in the first place.

For sure and 'what' as well.

Does the MSM just think their entire audience is totally stupid?

Never mind. ..the question begs no answer. . .as it answers itself.

[Paperdoll]

Well, stop means stop. What part of that did the drive not understand?

[BallyBill]

I'll bet no pregnant women ever died by accident when Saddam was leader, they were just executed.

[Muzzle_em]

Exactly...
where IS the FATHER?!!!

[AmeriBrit]

Time to load up the B52's. 4 years of being Mr. Nice-Guy only to be spit on is more than enough. The MSM should be tried for war crimes and be held accountable for aiding and abetting the enemy.

[dighton]

(directed at the press, not you)

If this has any purpose other than to incite, I’m damned if I know what.

[Hoodat]

That makes one less pregnant woman that the islamofascists can use as a suicide bomber.

[AmeriBrit]

Exactly...
where IS the FATHER?!!!

He was already at the hospital.

Give the guy a break, will you? He's been living in a combat zone for the past few years, and his pregnant sister was just killed in tragic error. And how good is your Arabic grammar?

Give me a break. Who committed the tragic error? It certainly doesn't look like it was the fault of U.S forces. As for my Arabic grammar, it's probably better than your English sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar. Review the bold sections. It is not necessary to use a comma before a conjunction linking two items. Starting a sentence with a conjunction is also considered improper. You said his sister was killed in tragic error. I looked all over a map of Iraq and I could not find it. I'm guessing it's a suburb of Baghdad.

"... when the troops shot at a car that failed to stop at an observation post ..."

They failed to stop. End of story.

[barker]

Jassim's brother, who was wounded by broken glass, said he did not see any warnings as he sped his sister to the hospital. Her husband was waiting for her there.

[twigs]

Exactly right. I'm very tired of seeing our young people's lives being lost and then constantly hear the complaining. This is a terrible tragedy. But when you're in a war zone, you just have to take special precautions. My heart goes out to all involved--military and civilians alike.

[gaspar.manny]

and on 9-11, we lost thousands of innocent people going to work.

And not one of them died at the hands of an Iraqi.

[girlangler]

"Whoever was behind the wheel is the person who killed her, not a serviceman."

BINGO

[marron]

Obviously, in war-time, you don't run a military checkpoint without consequences.

But even in peace-time, if you've lived in third world countries, you learn very quickly that police and military checkpoints are serious business. Fail to stop and you'll get a bullet in the back of the car; keep moving and you and your passengers will die in a hail of bullets in the next milisecond.

Every Iraqi knows to stop for a military control point. Every Iraqi knows the consequences if they fail to stop. The consequences will be the same after we leave.

[MayflowerMadam]

Amen to all of that. If they wanted freedom enough, they'd fight as hard for it as the people did in the Revolutionary War.
