US Soldier Killed, Several Wounded in Latest Iraqi Resistance Operations
A US occupation soldier was killed Thursday and several others wounded in southern Baghdad in what appears to be the latest challenge to US forces' efforts to crush the resistance. It was the third fatal attack on US forces in and around the capital in twenty four hours, following a sniper attack Monday and a drive-by shooting Wednesday. Several other soldiers were wounded in twin attacks in the strained city of Fallujah west of Baghdad. Hours later, several US soldiers were wounded in another twin attack also in Fallujah which caused a major power cut in the region. In a separate incident in west Baghdad on Thursday, an army truck was hit by an RPG tearing it apart and burning it. Although US military police at the scene said the vehicle had earlier broken down and was set on fire after it was left alone, witnesses in the area said there were casualties, and helicopters were seen evacuating them.
These latest attacks came amid flaring anger in Baghdad over the slow return of basic services, with former Iraqi soldiers warning they are ready to take up arms against the city's US occupiers if a pay dispute is not settled by next Monday. Meanwhile, US occupation troops told their stories about shooting Iraqis and killing the wounded, and leaving others to bleed to death. Soldiers were speaking to the London based Evening Standard newspaper on Thursday. "There was no problem when it came to shooting people who were not in uniform, I just pulled the trigger... If they were there, they were enemy, whether in uniform or not". With these words 22 year old Specialist Corporal Michael Richardson expressed the nature of his job in Iraq. Richardson continued saying occupation soldiers did not want any Iraqi prisoners of war, he said you do not want them to live. Meanwhile soldiers told The Evening Standard how they took the lives of many Iraqi civilians including women and children, in their cars because they were afraid that they might be attacked.
34 year old US army Sergeant John Meadows told the newspaper that there is no way of forgetting all the people the soldiers had killed adding that they've already seen psychiatrists and the chain of command has got letters back saying 'these men need to be taken out of this situation'. But nothing happened. Perhaps Iraqis are meant to live under the occupation of mentally disturbed US killer soldiers who claimed to have invaded Iraq to oust a tyrant ruler and end a disturbed regime.
