A night watchman said the US soldiers had turned up at Baghdad Zoo after it had
closed, in military vehicles, casually dressed and swigging beer; they then
proceeded to indulge themselves in a party within the zoo grounds.
At some point in the proceedings, one of the soldiers decided to try and feed
a tiger, was clawed and injured in the process, and a colleague shot the tiger
dead.
Now what sort of f--kwitt sticks their arm in a tiger's cage ? Hardly the
brightest thing to do, and what can be said of his colleagues who didn't try
to stop him ?
And what justification can there be for shooting a rare tiger after it had been
taunted ? None.
There will be massive outcry around the world, from organisations dealing with
the welfare of animals, the protecting of endangered species, and everyday
folk who are revolted at the obscene act.
In truth, it's no more than to be expected from mindless, trigger-happy,
f--kwitts, without a brain cell between them, with no respect, and no concern
as to the consequences of their actions.
The only remarkable thing is that they never managed to kill or injure any of
their own in this one-sided fire-fight.
If the best the US military have to offer can taunt and subsequently kill a
pretty defenceless, caged, animal, because the provoked response everyone else
would have seen coming a mile off happened, it makes one reflect upon the
abuses which the Iraqi people complain of, brought about at the hands of US
soldiers.
Many in Iraq find the sight of US soldiers swanning around their country,
swigging beer, and treating it as if they owned the place, offensive to start
with. Their abusive and disrespectful behaviour, while working, and at play,
is being shown to be something which really exists, and not something born of
some simple, and half-baked, "anti-American" sentiment as some would have us
believe.
America's gung-ho attitudes are offensive to many in Iraq and many outside, and
even those who supported the war to remove Saddam from power are starting to
question the abilities and actions of what is meant to be a professional, well
trained army.
The US response appears to be, "F--k them; who cares ?"
And America still doesn't see nor believe that it is the actions of its own
forces which is creating enemies who will stand up against it.
