The Independent (UK) - US soldiers bulldoze farmers' crops:

"They made a sort of joke against us by playing jazz music while they were cutting down the trees," said one man. Ambushes of US troops have taken place around Dhuluaya. But Sheikh Hussein Ali Saleh al-Jabouri, a member of a delegation that went to the nearby US base to ask for compensation for the loss of the fruit trees, said American officers described what had happened as "a punishment of local people because 'you know who is in the resistance and do not tell us'." What the Israelis had done by way of collective punishment of Palestinians was now happening in Iraq, Sheikh Hussein added.

Great Job Bush! Keep this up and instead of our kids saying "... like the Americans in Vietnam" they will be saying "... like the Americans in Iraq". Idiots.

Of course our administration really doesn't have the time to deal with little matters like Iraq and the Economy when they are busy making sure their trophy hunting friends can slaughter and trade endangered animals.

Bush has got to go.
