"There are no insurgents. There are kind people," said Latif, who said he studied in Britain.
Sounds more like he studied at the Baghdad Bob School of Meaningless Platitudes.

99.999% of the world has double standards when it comes to the United States and Iraq (the 0.001% being us Freepers)
This will never change no matter how logical it is, no matter how loudly we point it out, etc

No, we wouldn't want to upset the terrorists, so we must leave.

Well, I guess we better go then. Ah well.

Social planners have been saying the same thing for decades. Heck, there are many liberals who believe that the Great Society would have succeeded had we appointed the "right people" to run it.
To: tessalu
i just want to note that you are basing your opinion of all iraqis the actions of some iraqis so does video showing some americans represent all americans, too?
of course not. overgenaralising about situations and motives is what you when the situation is too hard.

I was thinking the same thing. "Go back home and let me worry about how to run the town...the district...the goddamn country". Hey, at least the guy shows ambition !
To: Eurotwit
"But Latif said there was no need for them to stay because Falluja was peaceful. "I am confident they will leave in a few days," he said " So am I.
Brahimi, the Governing Council and Bremer dont want more bloodshed. It would be much more difficult to justify restarting an offensive on a quiet city than finish the last one.
Im confident that 1st Mar. Div. General Mattis will once again have to eat his words, mismanaged by an administration will a pattern of compromising.

"I want the American soldier to return to his camp. Yeah, we'll do that and get about 50 miles away.
What I want more is that he returns to the United States," General Muhammad Latif told Reuters in an interview.
We'll do that right after we have turned the entire city into a glass parking lot with a few nukes.

Maybe this is just a feint. While most of the attention was on Fallujah, the Marines have very quietly taken back the center of Najif. It looks like any Iraqi who's put in a "position of authority" in Fallujah is a card-carrying clown.
Okay, when the time comes, the Marines will kick ass and take names. Generals, not politicians, ought to decide when the time has come.

When **Americans** can walk the streets without being molested, then we know our enemies are dead and we will leave. BUT NOT BEFORE!!! He must clear a path for American advance, not provide a fig leaf for retreat.
To: Eurotwit
"There are no insurgents. There are kind people," said Latif,
yeah. This guy's right on top of things. The insurrgents/terrorists/baathists are dematerialized.

I don't believe it, but it will certainly be a rougher ride than some people (including me) envisioned.
Compare this to the positive step taken by the Shia cleric councils regarding Sadr.
