You know absolutely nothing, do you Joe?
Do you just lie with impunity to cause trouble, or are you really this stupid?
How many Iraqis died in this fight for their own freedom? How many Iraqi soldiers and police officers have been killed in the line of duty? How many innocent men, women and children have been blown up by terrorist bombs??
Do you know???
I didn't think so.
Yes to both, apparently.
All good questions. Maybe Joe will answer them. He seems to have formulated an opinion based on such answers.
Let's wait for him to answer(zzzzzzz).
From my understanding very few. Even our own troops complained they were not supported by the majority of the people.
How many Iraqi soldiers and police officers have been killed in the line of duty? How many innocent men, women and children have been blown up by terrorist bombs??
Lots of people get blown up by suicided bombers, however this does not address what I stated. I stated that overall, the majority of Iraqis, (not all) stood on the sidelines watching us fight their fight from the time we rolled in. I think this has been pretty well established. There are even reports from our own military that stated some of the few that were trained by us actually ran away from, or decide not to fight when things got tough. Again, this has been pretty well documented.
The President stated the Iraqis have earned our respect. I would say this is a little premature. Once we leave, when ever that may be, it will be interesting to see if they can hold this thing together, and hang tough, spilling their own blood to keep this freedom. Only when that happens will they gain some respect from me.
The reality now is, the Iraqis should be thanking us, and showing some big time respect for *us*.
