Iraqui Police fight US Marines

xoxoxoBruce · 06-27-2004, 09:40 PM

According to this article The Iraqui police are using their allied training to learn the weak points of the US troops.

Quote:

There, on Highway One, an American Humvee is driving east. Bilal aims and fires his rocket propelled grenade, turning the vehicle into a smoking, twisted, metal carcass. The fate of its occupants is unknown.
First Lt Omar is sworn to uphold the law and fight the insurgency that threatens Iraq's evolution into a free and democratic state. Instead, he is exploiting his knowledge of US tactics to help the rebel cause in Fallujah.

Quote:

The colonel is blunt. "Fallujah is the starting point of the return of the Ba'ath Party," he says. "Our comrades in Baghdad and other provinces are joining our struggle. Here already we are free. No one can touch us."

I'm sure that somewhere in California some liberal was completely taken by surprise at this turn of events.

Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld aren't liberal or Californian, and they're the ones who were talking about flowers in the streets welcoming our troops.

I bet they knew this was going to happen and were counting on it for political leverage to go back in or to not actually leave.

I found myself in a discussion today at work over turning the entire fallujah area into glass, just as a warning to quell the bullshit. Yeah, there'd be civilian casualties, but there always is in war... It's just that stuff like this is so very frustrating. Now they have a Marine hostage, and they'll hack his head off with a butter knife, too, in a couple weeks....
