Winning those hearts and minds: the saga continues
 

BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. military said Monday it accidentally killed
nine Iraqi civilians during an operation targeting al-Qaida in Iraq —
the deadliest known case of mistaken identity in recent months.

The Iraqi civilians were killed Saturday near Iskandariyah, 30 miles
south of the Iraqi capital, Navy Lt. Patrick Evans told The Associated
Press.

Evans did not say exactly how the civilians died, but said the killings
occurred as U.S. forces pursued suspected al-Qaida in Iraq militants.
The incident is under investigation, he said.

Iraqi police said the victims, including two women, were in two houses
in the village of Tal al-Samar, which was bombed by American warplanes
late Saturday. They were all Sunnis, an officer said on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The U.S. planes struck after an American convoy came under enemy fire in
Tal al-Samar and soldiers called for air support, the Iraqi officer said.

"We offer our condolences to the families of those who were killed in
this incident, and we mourn the loss of innocent civilian life," Evans
said in a statement e-mailed to the AP.

Manning wins MVP
 

So, Manning got MVP for the game. I guess that's pretty cool. I doubt
we will ever see three starting QB's in the NFL from one immediate
family again. Especially brothers, that usually doesn't happen where
they both play the same. Goes for sports, goes for music, goes for
girls.. etc.. very rare indeed

Harry, it would make you happier if you could find articles like this every

nine probably put a big smile on your face.

Manning deserved it. The Giants defense was awesome, but I guess MVP has to
go to an individual.

No, Cooper is the oldest. Then Peyton then Eli.
Cooper was a helluva receiver at Ole Miss. But he didn't go to Pro
Ball. I think injury may have had something to do with it or maybe he
just wasn't interested, I dunno.

Simple. You've never said anything negative about Bush and the Iraq
war here ever. Look at just about ANY post where someone's said
something negative about our involvement in Iraq, and there you'll be
defending that very involvement. To make this easy:
Do you think we are doing the right thing concerning our involvement
in Iraq?
Do you think we should have left Afghanistan in a virtual heap of
destruction and chaos to go to Iraq?
