#1 I DO NOT believe that American troops fired for thirty minutes without ever receiving return fire. With NO incoming fire, they'd have stopped in moments. More hosesnot.

BTW, I believe we wacked the folks in the BMW.

#2 Huh? "The policemen were killed while chasing a white BMW thought to be used by highway bandits. The Iraqi police gave up the chase when the BMW got away. As they made their way back to Fallujah, they came under fire from U.S. soldiers."

Took place during the chase: no, afterwards: the suspects had disappeared: no, in fact they were shooting at the troops as well as at the cops: the cops were not shooting, even at the fleeing suspects...

Yeesh.

#3 Yeah, I keep hoping for further clarification too. That part about the police not shooting back but our guys keeping on shooting them doesn't seem right. If that were true, why did we stop before we killed them all? This plus the other Fallujah-related story above seems to indicate something is happening over there, but it appears that we don't yet know what.
