Haha, SOB got the Captain all worked up.

Now its time for some soft music, candles, and a bubble bath to mend his feelings.

Careful Captain, when SOB says he lost his Rubber Duckie, he'll search for it with his mouth.

Heres some detail

According to a multinational forces statement, the car approached the checkpoint at high speed about 9 p.m. (1 p.m. ET)

U.S. troops "attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car," the statement said. "When the driver didn't stop, the soldiers shot into the engine block, which stopped the vehicle, killing one and wounding two others

Thats from the CNN link at top. I have no idea why he would think its ok to race at high speed at a checkpoint. Its a tradgedy that could have been avoided.

obviously it was something along those lines. If that CNN link is true than the driver/agent is at fault. You dont go speeding at Troops in Badhdad, your gonna have a bad day.

There's a big surprise. Surely it was the fault of the soldiers at the checkpoint. Afterall, they're all bloodthirsty trigger happy American cowboys.

You would think that the Italians would have past along word that they would be coming that way.
Very sad event indeed but remember the 18year olds that are put in this horrible possition of taking lives.

I really can't blame the military on this.
A tragic accident.

If you used a credit card to pay for those anger management sessions you can probably still get them to stop payment.

And you hang out here?

Well we appreciate you bowing and enduring us!

Now tell SOB you're sorry before he makes a voodoo doll of you and does evil things to it.

Two problems with your little theory. One, I don't have a credit card. Two, I'm not angry. Annoyed? Yes. Angry? No. No one here is worth getting angry over.
