Except of course NO ONE associated with the show said New Caprica paralleled with Iraq. In fact they said it paralleled with occupied France. So it was Cylons = US it was Cylons = Nazis.

In my opinion, they are full of it. I've never heard of any suicide bombings during the French resistance. That's the dead give-away. As I mentioned before, the use of suicide bombing as a tactic didn't even make sense within the context of the show, and given that they claim it was supposed to parallel the French Resistance, it makes even less sense. They simply do not want to come out and admit they were making Iraq commentary, probably because they were told by the studios not to insert any unnecessary politics into the show, but we all know lefties can't help themselves.

But remember the suicide bombings were bad. Most of the resistance was against them, Tigh crossed the line from being a good guy resistance fighter to being a morally questionable terrorist. Right after the suicide bombing that failed to kill Baltar they set off a bomb in the market that killed mostly humans and Roslin ordered him to stop that kind of attack. So IF it was commentary on the Iraqi occupation it was not anti-US.
