I dunno, there's an angle to this that I sorta like.
Abu my man! What news of Fallujah? The Americans have turned it over to Saddam.
Well, not Saddam personally. But his generals and his intelligence officers. The Americans armed them and gave them authority over the city. "A return to law and order," I think they called it.
What happened to the Heroic Islamic Resistance? Saddam's people killed them all, of course. Now they are torturing citizens to find out who was helping them. It's just like the old days. Sit down, shut up, and hand over your pretty daughters or they shoot you. The Americans say that one way or the other, Iraqis must learn to police their own cities. If the citizens won't do it, the Americans will find Iraqis who will. |
