Not very diplomatic

Those John Wayne types in the U.S. armed forces in Iraq are at it again. This time they shot up the Canadian Amabasador to Iraq's car. More friendly fire. Lets see we had Canadian troops killed when Americans dropped bombs on them in Afghanistan. We have had an ambassador killed and troops injured since we have taken over for the fleeing err withdrawing U.S. troops in Kandahar. And now this.

Oh yeah remember its just an accident. This is what happens when you give 18 hear olds live ammunition. An accident like when they killed the Italian Spy chief and injured the Italian reporter after shooting up their car.

With allies like these who needs enemies.

Guess this wasn't worth a news flash last night cause the Canadian newsmedia probably didn't want to interrupt err embarass Georgie Bush during his state of dis Union speech.

Apparently now that the orgy of self congratulations in the U.S. is over CNN is now reporting on this.

(CNN) -- U.S. forces in Baghdad accidentally shot at the car of the Canadian ambassador to Iraq, John Holmes, but no one was injured, a State Department official said.

It was not immediately clear whether Holmes was inside the vehicle.

"It's an unfortunate incident," the official said of Tuesday's incident. "We are in close contact with the Canadians about the matter."
