While other Twitterers criticize the unruly assault.


jayninedee (Philadelphia, Pa.) WTF? Anybody else hear about this? US soldier kills 5 fellow soldiers in a random attack in Iraq http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/05/12/iraq.soldiers.killed/inde...

Additional criticism for U.S. forces continues to prevail.


Klearchos (Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria) "Suspected U.S. drone attack kills 9 in Pakistan", "U.S. soldier kills 5 comrades in Iraq".. Isn't there any TAMIFLU against US Forces?
