" Hardball Outrage: Chris Mathews just said the insurgents weren't the "Bad Guys", they were just "defending their country." Matthews also described them tonight " as people who don't agree with us." Chris Jansing of MSNBC a few months ago, called them " resistance fighters. "

Mujahidin terrorised Fallujah, residents say:.............Flyposters still litter the walls bearing all manner of decrees from insurgent commanders, to be heeded on pain of death. ............The decree warns all women that they must cover up from head to toe outdoors, or face execution by the armed militants who controlled the streets. Two female bodies found yesterday suggest such threats were far from idle. An Arab woman, in a violet nightdress, lay in a post-mortem embrace with a male corpse in the middle of the street. Both bodies had died from bullets to the head. ..........A man in his sixties, half-naked and his underwear stained with blood from shrapnel wounds from a US munition, cursed the insurgents as he greeted the advancing marines on Saturday night. "I wish the Americans had come here the very first day and not waited eight months," he said, trembling. ................Another elderly man: "It was horrible," he told an AFP reporter."We suffered from the bombings. Innocent people died or were wounded by the bombings. "But we were happy you did what you did because Fallujah had been suffocated by the Mujahidin. Anyone considered suspicious would be slaughtered. We would see unknown corpses around the city all the time."

Right. The Nazis we were fighting in Germany in WWII weren't bad guys. They just didn't agree with us and were defending their country.

I feel the same buddy. Why we waited is one of life's mysteries, I guess.
