Outside Baghdad, an Iraqi official killed at least three soldiers, including at least one American soldier, after he pulled out an AK 47 at the City Council building. The Americans were present to celebrate the opening of of a park in al-Maaden.
U.S. officials killed the Iraqi officials, but at least three people were killed and four wounded.

I wouldn’t risk a hair on my head for this gang of Iraqi thugs, and we collectively have put hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in harm’s way for them. If there really is justice in the world, Bush will have to explain his justification to every grieving soldier’s parent after he tells them how we gloriously fought to “free” millions of Iraqis. What a waste.
BTW the over/under bet on how many Big Oil Boards of Directors that Bush sits on after his presidency is 3. I’ll take the over.
Perhaps not the warmest hospitality:
Iraqi City Councilman Kills Three Soldiers After Friendship Ceremony
If that’s the way an Iraqi City Councilman behaves toward Americans following a “friendship ceremony,” I would hate to see what he might do if he were really pissed off!
Was it something the Americans said?
Still, in Pentagon-speak, it was another case of all’s well that ends well:
U.S. officials killed the Iraqi officials, but at least three people were killed and four wounded.
Clearly, my friends, this is yet another excellent sign that things are going well in Iraq, the “surge” is working, and we are winning!
No, Really!
