Intelligence reports coming from Iraq this week implied that Iraqi citizens were getting particularly annoyed with repeated US killings of family members.
Things came to a head this week when the US military mistakenly shot dead eight Iraqi policemen who were chasing a car full of suspected bandits.
While American military officials were at a loss to explain exactly why their soldiers opened fire with heavy machine guns on the officers, who were in clearly marked police cars supplied by the US, the people of Vallejo were in no doubt about their annoyance.
"I'm really quite annoyed." Eretia Shaath the mother of two of the dead policeman told BIGfib.
"I was proud when my boys joined the forces of freedom and democracy, but now they've been shot dead with machine guns by American soldiers, well I'm not so happy about it anymore..."
US officials have been receiving ever more frequent reports of Iraqi dissatisfaction.
"We know they're not happy...." Donald Rumsfeld told BIGfib, "Though we don't really know why they're getting so up-tight... We're certainly gonna be working to get a handle on that..."
