Blame Bush

Not to minimize the responsibility of the individuals involved...

Dear Leader bears the responsibility for sending troops into battle without adequate support, without a clear mission, and WITHOUT A FUCKING BREAK. Stop-loss re-ups and no body armor take their physical and mental toll. Undoubtedly, however, the few "bad apples" will be sacrificed while the ultimate culprits (who are overseeing the investigation) skate. And the wingers say WE hate the troops?

U.S. Examines Troops' Role in 4 Iraqi Deaths - New York Times

BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 30 — The United States military said Friday that it was investigating whether American soldiers had killed a family of four Iraqi civilians in March in their home south of Baghdad, adding another inquiry to a growing list of cases where Americans are accused of fatally shooting unarmed Iraqis.

The investigation is being overseen by the highest levels of the American command, and was ordered by the general commanding the Fourth Infantry Division, which is assigned to control the capital and areas immediately to the south, a military spokesman said.
