''Baghdad — A U.S. soldier shot and killed an endangered tiger at the Baghdad zoo after it bit another soldier who had drunkenly reached through the bars of its cage to feed it, a security guard said Saturday.

The soldiers had been drinking beer when they entered the zoo Thursday night after it closed, said the guard, Zuhair Abdul-Majeed. After the man was bit, the other American shot the tiger three times in the head and killed it, he said.''


support our drunken troops!

1. this really sickens me
"The soldiers don't have the right to behave like that. That was the most precious and valuable animal in the whole zoo. It was 14 years old and had been born here," he said, adding sadly that he has no way of stopping the regular parties held at the zoo by occupation forces.

6. I support the troops who had no choice. I don't support the

10. This sad act is a perfect metaphor for the whole invasion of Iraq...
Certain Americans, drunk on the illusion of a superior right-wing ideology, collectively thrust their fellow countrymen into harm's way. And those innocents were bitten, and badly, so the entire country of Iraq is brutally punished.
