Iraq: Violent protest

[hood]

US troops open fire on a crowd of angry protesters outside the US administration
offices in Baghdad, 18 June 2003. One former Iraqi soldier was killed
in the first such shooting in the capital since it fell to US-led
forces over two months ago. The crowd of up to 300 former soldiers
was demonstrating at the former presidential palace in the center
of Baghdad, today coalition headquarters, and started throwing stones
at US troops, who opened fire, according to an AFP correspondent at
the scene.

On the 7th pic....notice the US Soldiers middle finger? LoL

rofl

Do they understand what a middle finger means?...Or should the US Soldiers be carrying around extra shoes and waving it at them.

Thats not a middle finger you see. For some reason he is pointing to the sky with his index finger.

These pictures reminded me of a few lines in a movie I saw a long time ago, possibly one of those civil war movies.

Commander: Affix bayonets!

Soldier: Sir, you've told us to 'affix bayonets!' 3 times already!
