Iraqis, GIs Share Uneasy Relationship

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - When a hail of bullets hit the car in which Jinan Adnan and her family were riding, she followed her maternal instincts - and paid with her life.

Adnan, 37, used her body to shield her three children in the back seat. Her husband and the children survived. She was mortally wounded.

Because American soldiers had been in a firefight nearby around the time, it remains unclear if a U.S. bullet killed her, though her husband, Aref Taha, says he saw four American soldiers firing in the car's direction.

"That's what Americans do, isn't that so?" Taha said. "They do this all the time in Iraq."

About a month or so ago, I read a story about those Iraqi's who are helping the Americans.

The Americans can't send them out with empty guns, so they have to give all of them bullets. The Iraqi's are selling the bullets on the black market for 5 bucks each!

And each time an American is killed .... always remember that it was George who said "Bring 'em on".

Can you imagine that?

RE: Iraqis, GIs Share Une

I know for a fact that the Iraqi army is selling the arms in the black market and then they refuse to go on the front line. Their issue is why should they be the first to go in. These Americans have all the high-tech stuff and still insist that the Iraqi army men go first. This way they will be the HUMAN SHIELD.
