I don't know why, but I feel like crap today. So, just a question:

How long until US and Iraqi government forces end up in a firefight?

How long until US and Iraqi government forces end up in a firefight?

Here's a mind bender: You presume it hasn't already happened.

It has in some small unit sized skirmishes later written off as misunderstandings, and there have been a few cases of Iraqis shooting US soldiers written off as infiltration, and the recent case of a US soldier, now facing charges, who shot an Iraqi at a checkpoint.

But the question was meant on the larger scale. How long until a Shia unit runs amok in a bloodlust requiring the US soldiers to come in in force.

I don't know why, I just feel it coming.

Get well soon. I'm feeling like Dick Cheney (crap) today as well. I hope the eventful night I had was peak of my current ailment.
