There were Iraqi victims too: 8 dead and 12 wounded. The place was the Headquarters of the Italian occupation force, which has about 2300 men.

Berlusconi's in deep **** now...

Haven't anyone told the iraqis that italians only count as half an american? This is not cost effective at all.

The coalition soldiers should throw of their uniforms, put on civilian clothes and blend in with the population.

It would still be easy to see the difference between a black south carolina soldier disguised and an old irak merchant.
It has to be the moustache or something...

Thankfully this means that we (Greece) will never ever send troops to Iraq.

Perhaps this will speed up the return of the contingent we have in Afghanistan.

NO more blood for THEIR interests!

CIA are masters of disguise. Seriosly. It would not be that hard to blend in with them if you had a tan and a fake mustache.

Also form small independent neutralization squads of combined coalition and iraqi collaborators. Use civilian vehicles. Use sophisticted sattelite communication for targeting in hit and run attacks. Play the game.

Oh bodycount is fourteen now (14). This is very sad, italians are good people, exept for mr. GWBofEU
If I'd pray I'd pray for the italians now, but I'm sure this will be remembered in the Missa italiana here...

Take a ten year perspective on it. Like in Chechnya. Plenty of time to learn people to speak arabic.

Also they will have translators. One Iraqi collaborator will be the 'faux' commander, while the real one stays in the background.

It's a matter of honour, see. If they let the aglomaericans just walz in the place it would mean that they submit. Not to mention that that would open the appettite for more of the same from the agloamericans. That's why they keep busting balls down there. It has to be taught a lesson to the US/uk that you won't get out of here without a bloodied nose.
Honour, pride, resistance, that's how they see it.
I feel bad for the iraqi people proper. Victimized by both sides, each with its own agenda

The Iraqi fighters are fighting for national freedom. Bush, Blair and Berlusconi are fighting for their honor now. The tables have been turned. The narrative has changed.

(a) Since when is the return of a Baathist dictatorship, or the institution of an Islamic state "freedom?" There hasn't been any evidence, not any, that any of these acts have been carried out or planned by individuals fighting for anyone's "freedom."

(b) It's charming to see in this thread so much emphasis on the hoped-for political consequences regarding Berlusconi, and so little about the dead and their families.

Empaty is hypocritical. One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is statistics.

It's kind of funny. When Americans die over there, we are pissed that our countrymen are dead. When Italians die, you hope it brings down the goverment. Isnt that kind of odd?

That will teach them to import pizza to a Muslim country.

Seriously though, I'm not happy about it. But when you put on a uniform and pick up a gun, some people will shoot at you.

The only solution is for all occupation troops in Iraq to go naked everywhere.
