it’s hard to tell who is in the enemy (in Iraq). U.S. military officials suspect that many of the Iraqi soldiers, including a company commander, are on the insurgents' payroll, possibly in league with terror master Zargawi. Yet the 101st Airborne plans to hand over the town to the Iraqi police and army by July 1. One recent day, which Lasseter describes in vivid detail, a .50-caliber machine gun, on the roof of a schoolhouse, manned by a 21-year-old Texan name Michael Pena blasted an unarmed man on the street into oblivion. Horrified soldiers rushed to the Iraqi, or what was left of him—his organs were now slithering out—and watched him die, as he praised god and muttered, “Why? Why?” “Haji, I don’t know,” an American soldier replied. A few days later, Lasseter finds the gunner, Pena, still manning the machine gun on the same roof. Pena doesn’t say a word about the man he killed but he is boiling with frustration. "No one told me why I'm putting my life on the line in Samarra, and you know why they didn't?" Pena asks. "Because there is no f------ reason." Perhaps Vice President Cheney, or his new press secretary, Katharine Armstrong, can explain that to him." editorandpublisher.com ontent_id=1002034521
