Jee-Zoo, These folks are having a banner freaking week over there in the big sandy. First the Italians, now a soldier from Bulgaria.
I would be extra, extra pissed if I was forced to go fight this war for some "Friend Of George" and then got killed by the Americans I was supposed to be there to support.
END THE WAR!

BAGHDAD, MARCH 7: US forces in Iraq faced more ‘‘friendly fire’’ embarrassment on Monday when Bulgaria said they had probably shot dead one of its soldiers.
The controversy raised questions over whether US troops are over-zealous in their efforts to crack down on insurgents, who killed at least 25 people in fresh attacks on Monday.
The Bulgarian soldier was killed in southern Iraq on Friday evening, around the same time that US Forces in Baghdad opened fire on a vehicle ferrying kidnapped Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena.
Bulgarian Defence Minister Nikolai Svinarov said an investigation into the death of the soldier showed he was probably accidentally killed by American troops.
