Iraq rejects US probe clearing troops of killings

Iraq rejects US probe clearing troops of killings. Looks like our whitewash failed in some circles.

Iraq vowed on Saturday to press on with its own probe into the deaths of civilians in a U.S. raid on the town of Ishaqi, rejecting the U.S. military's exoneration of its forces.
"We have from more than one source that the Ishaqi killings were carried out under questionable circumstances. More than one child was killed. This report was not fair for the Iraqi people and the children who were killed," he told Reuters.
The U.S. military had issued a statement about Ishaqi saying allegations that U.S. troops "executed a family ... and then hid the alleged crimes by directing an air strike, are absolutely false".
The Iraqis are so ungrateful. We have brought the best money can buy to Iraq to run their oil fields. We have brought the best security forces money could buy. What more can they want. DEmocracy? Freedom from foreign powers? Ungrateful bastards. They should learn to put up with the occassional massacre. It is all in the name of the "path to freedom."
