Bottomline......we had nearly as many deaths from "friendly fire" as from the Iraqis

I recognize you're analytically challenged, but this is not a meaningful metric. Put in terms you may be able to understand, "So, what? Is there a point in there somewhere?"


You don't see a problem shooting our own? I may be metrically challenged but you have a significant problem with morality. Maybe that's why you like Bush.

Iraqi Shiite leader killed in attack at Ali mosque

Thursday, April 10, 2003 Posted: 11:03 AM EDT (1503 GMT)

NAJAF, Iraq (CNN) -- A prominent Iraqi Shiite Muslim leader was shot and stabbed to death Thursday in an attack that began inside the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf, a family friend told CNN.

Islamic cleric Majeed Said al-Khuaai was the son of the late Ayatollah Abo al Qasim, a popular Shiite leader executed under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's rule, said Saad Sayeh Faydh, a family friend. Al-Khuaai was shot inside the mosque, the holiest site in Shiite Islam, then dragged outside and stabbed to death, he said.

Faydh was injured in the same attack.

Al-Khuaai was trying to re-establish himself in the Shiite community after living in Britain for many years, Time magazine reporter Jim Lacey told CNN. He was expected to urge Iraq's Shiite population to cooperate with the U.S.-led occupation, Lacey said.
