American soldiers kill tiger in Baghdad Remove this text

Nice going yanks

Apparently a group of American soldiers were having a party in Baghdad Zoo. One soldier thought it would be fun to feed the tiger, but he got a little too close to the cage, and it bit one of his fingers off, and then proceeded to chew on his arm.
The soldier's comrades then shot the tiger.

Maybe you yanks should start realizing that now you are only guests in Iraq.

STUPID way to kill one of the worlds most endangered animals!!

Nice one, Oerdin. But to tell you the truth, I was all for the war. And no, I didn't believe that it was about oil.

But I do wish that the U.S. in Iraq would behave like guests, more than conquerors.

Yup, and you ousted their government. But I believe that Bush specifically said that the U.S. has no quarrel with the Iraqi people. Only with their former regime, and the ones that support(ed) it. So why alienate the rest??

But they killed a "tiger" which, last time I looked, was not synomonous (sp!) with "people."

I wish those dictionary people would stick with their definitions.

A friend of mine once worked for the San Diego Zoo. She was feeding the lions one day, and got just a little too close, and the lion reached out an snagged her sneaker with a claw (missing her fortunately). For the next couple seconds she and the lion were playing tug of war to see who would get my friend's foot (she was being helped by another animal feeder, cuz a single human's no match for a lion). Then the sneaker came off. The lion chewed on that for a while and my friend quit immediately.

Doesn't "Osama" mean "eye of the tiger" ?

The soldier can claim he was just following orders & captured 2 osama(s). It would be as good as any other American explination as to why they are in Iraq.

I do feel bad for the tiger, but that's life. The tiger met a bigger badass than she was, the US military.
