Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi blamed the coalition for poor security in Saturday's ambush about 95 miles east of Baghdad.

"It was a heinous crime where a group of National Guards were targeted," Allawi said. "There was great negligence on the part of some coalition forces. It seems there was sort of determination on doing Iraq and Iraqi people harm."



The US meanwhile, points out this was obviously an inside job, and then draws the erronious conclusion that, like everything else in Iraq, it's not our fault, and we couldn't have done anything about it.

Whomever wins the Iraqi election will HAVE to be runing on an anti-American campaign. I'm still wondering if the "persecution" of Chalabi wasn't just an acknowledgement of this in an attempt to make him appear less like the favorite son of the Bush administration.
