BAGHDAD-An armed confrontation between two Iraqi army units left one soldier and one civilian dead Friday, raising questions about the US trained force's ability to maintain control at a time when sectarian and ethnic tensions are running high.

The trouble started when a roadside bomb struck an Iraqi army convoy, which police said was made up of Kurdish soldiers. Four soldiers were killed and three wounded. US military officials put the casualty figure at one dead and twelve wounded.

Hey, President Knucklehead, you figure we can bring the troops home once the Iraqis can fight for themselves. How's that going?

2. Guys, c'mon. Be fair. Report some of the good news too!

That intra-army fighting will get worked out. It's still early in their training.

As for the Judge's son, well, the good news is his father won't be prejudiced by it and Saddam's trial will continue in its measured, even-handed, steady way just as before.

You liberals are always looking at the dark side. Why do you hate America?
