Comb,

Bush has another notch on his wing.

He has now added Missionaries and babies to his already impressive list of military casualties.

Apparently not satisfied with his twelve week record of taking out Japanese submarines, tourists and students, bombing Kuwaiti citizens, helicopters in Hawaii, US fighter jets in Scotland, Chinese fighter jets, Bush has now added a missionary plane in Peru.

LIMA, Peru (Reuters) - An American anti-drug surveillance plane was in the air with a Peruvian Air Force jet that shot down U.S. missionaries over the Amazon jungle, killing an American woman and her baby, U.S. officials said on Saturday.

However U.S. embassy officials in Lima would not comment on whether the American plane had communicated with the Peruvian jet before the downing of the civilian aircraft, which the White House called a ``tragic accident''.
