Breaking: 2 Iraqi Cops Open Fire, Killing 4 US Troops
Let’s keep in mind reports over the years about Iraqi police uniforms being stolen …
However, count nothing out over there.
Iraqi police shoot dead four US soldiers: ministry
Iraqi policemen shot dead four US soldiers and their local interpreter in the main northern city of Mosul on Tuesday, an interior ministry official said.
“Four US soldiers and their Iraqi interpreter were killed by two Iraqi policemen who opened fire at them in the Dawasa district of (central) Mosul and then fled,” the official told AFP, declining to be named.
The incident took place during a US army visit to the Mosul headquarters of the Iraqi police in charge of protecting the city’s bridges, police said. The bullet-riddled body of the interpreter was taken to the local mortuary.
It was the third such fatal shooting involving US soldiers in just over a year in Mosul, one of the country’s most restive cities.
On November 12, an Iraqi soldier shot dead two US soldiers in the city before being shot dead himself, but US and Iraqi officials differed sharply on what actually happened.
Iraqi officials said the soldier opened fire after an altercation with the Americans during a joint patrol in the city, but the US military insisted it was an unprovoked shooting inside an Iraqi army compound.
Mohammed al-Askari, Iraq’s defence ministry spokesman, said at the time that the shooting took place during a joint patrol to inspect security procedures in Mosul, which the US army says is Al-Qaeda’s last urban bastion in Iraq.
An official in the Iraqi interior ministry said “a US soldier slapped an Iraqi soldier during the patrol.”
A similar incident took place in Mosul in January 2007 when an Iraqi soldier opened fire on American troops during the erection of a combat outpost in the city, killing two US soldiers, according to Iraqi officials.
US and Iraqi forces operate together throughout the country, and the United States has long said that the training of Iraqi troops and police is a central part of its military strategy.

Waiting to hear the names of the 4 fallen….This is heart breaking.
We need a praying Icon.
We have a target on us, just for being the great satan. We will never get them to like us.
ummm….is this a surprise…..the SOFA is what is fucking us and thanks to PC and Iran having an influence in the Iraqi government, who do you think the victims will be? another 4 victims to our mutual enemy, Political Correctness! and do you think our Government gives a fuck???
You can lay this incident at the feet of the cultists of death. So long as the evil that is Islam is the state religion of Jihadistan, this shit will go on.
There’s nothing in the Qu’ran but unbridled hatred of all un-Islamic people. It matters not how well you treat them. they will still drink from that poison well that is Islam; and act accordingly.
(9:123) O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).;
(9:23) O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers.;
(9:5) Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.;
(9:28) O ye who believe! The idolaters only are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. If ye fear poverty (from the loss of their merchandise) Allah shall preserve you of His bounty if He will. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.;
(4:101) And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.;
Cherry picking you say? There’s plenty more quotes just like these.
(5:14) And with those who say: “Lo! we are Christians,†We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.;
(4:89) They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them;
Believe it or not there’s lots more. But you get my point.
