US military tactics are becoming virtually indistinguishable from Israeli tactics: "The U.S. military swept through Iraqi neighborhoods early Saturday, firing at houses suspected to be harboring hostile forces in the wake of an apparent attack on a Black Hawk (search) helicopter that killed six U.S. soldiers. Backed by Bradley fighting vehicles (search), American troops bombarded buildings with machine guns and heavy weapons fire. "
Gee, given the fabulous success of such tactics in Palestine, they're sure to work in Iraq! And at least the Israelis have a civilian population living nearby to actually worry about. What's our excuse, again?
