Looks like unlike previous reports, it is not the case that Fedayeen packed the car with women and kids to cause a checkpoint "incident." Rather it looks like typical wartime SNAFU.

I didn't think all 11 were killed.

It's sad, but the full responsibility for their deaths lies squarely with the homicide bombers, and those who advocate, rationalize and encourage it.

Fox ran an interview yesterday that showed a prominant Shia cleric in Kuwait who said that the family had been forced to provoke the US soldiers by the Iraq secret police.

Could be the cleric was lying. But that would be a strange thing for a cleric to lie about.

This is a different event than the 'women and children' checkpoint.

I saw a military guy on FOX (i'm pretty sure it was FOX) say that warning shots were fired (in the air?)and the vehicle did not stop. Then shots were fired into the engine to get it to stop, but it kept moving forward. At that point, they shot into the vehicle.

Don't you think if you were heading for a border you'd get out and WALK....during these times?

The left will dance all over this. Everyone should actually be ENRAGED by the Terrorist Methods of using civilians in the fashion that CREATED this incident.

[Robert DeLong]

I would say that this report is the one that is false. That's my gut feeling.

This is tragic, but also suspicious. IMHO, bullets flying over my head, and then next slamming INTO my vehicle's engine, are both an obvious warning, and MAY BE UNDERSTOOD IN ANY LANGUAGE: STOP NOW! Period. So, why did this group continue to drive towards the check-point, even when they saw AND ACKNOWLEDGED that American soldiers were NOT WAIVING THEIR HANDS AND SMILING, but rather, were AIMING THEIR WEAPONS AND SHOUTING? How F***ING stupid can you be?

this article is a bunch of crap.. it sounds about as truthfull as a Michael Moore documentary.

Language gap put them in peril at U.S. checkpoint

Not to be rude, but this country is at war and this can be chalked up to 'collateral damage'.These types of actions are going to continue to occur no matter what.THey didn't slow down for gosh sake. Remember, we didn't start this war, but we will wipe them up over there by the time we're through.
