Hey Abdullah, would have you spoken so freely to the press before the Americans and coalition forces got there? Hmmmmm?
"Get out of our country and there will be no more explosions,"
This Iraqi cop echos the jihaddi's message ver batim, and ABC loves it.
Worked wonders in Spain..NOT!
Oh yes, Iraq was a Bastian of fairness and morality before we arrived.... with its rape rooms and torture chambers.... be serious.
It may be reflective of ignorance by many average Iraqis. Maybe a U.S. convoy was teh target here, but don't they see that the terrorists have to destroy the Iraqi infrastructure to take over? Most attacks these days are on Iraqi police recruits. Imagine the holy hell that would break loose if we were not providing some security? Attacks on all institutions would increase, and the whole society would be at war or under totalitarianism in the aftermath.
It's not amazing...it's a plan.
"It's all because you're here," a policeman shouted in Arabic at a group of US soldiers after the latest in a bloody wave of attacks that have rocked Baghdad this month.
"Get out of our country and there will be no more explosions," he told the uncomprehending Americans staring at the smouldering wreck of a car bomb.
Yeah, I'm sure Al Qaeda will be content to leave Iraq then and to see democracy flourish unmolested. Why no stories on the Iraqis pissed off at the foreign fighter sub-humans who are launching these car bombs?? I bet there's a hell of a lot more of them than this idiot policeman.
Could be that if this policeman was doing something that resembled his job, there wouldn't be so many bombers...
And once we're gone, the sunni and foreign terrorists will make mincemeat out of the shi-ites, unless we get them first...
"Its amazing how the anti-american media finds these few disgruntled Iraqis."
These Iraqis are incredibly lucky that their wives, sisters and daughters didn't wind up in Sadaam's rape rooms and they escaped the shredder.
But if this fellow thinks that a quick exit by the USA would stop these bombings and violence, he is sorely mistaken.
And, dollars to doughnuts, I would bet that they were Sunnis.
The Shiites and Kurds know that, if the U.S. bugged out, the Sunni Baathists would kill another 50,000 Kurds and another 30,000-80,000 Shiites just as they did after the Gulf War.
The 20% of the Iraqi population that is Sunni has good reason to hate America's guts. We liberated their slaves.
Every time one of these stories pops up I inevitably have some leftist family member complain to me about what we're doing in Iraq. I always say the same things; "why don't I ever hear you complain about the terrorists?" and "all the terrorists have to do is lay their guns down and the problems will be over."
All I get for response is blank stares.
Does the ABC reporter know Arabic, or was the scene taped, and later translated - for effect?
Yeah. After the US leaves they won't need to resort to car bombs. They'll do it Saddam Style - Lots of 'Disappearances' into mass graves - Not nearly as messy as crude car bombs.
" "Since Americans invaded our country they have brought nothing but evil."
Assuming, the article is actually authentic, I keep wondering how much the L/MSM is inventing on the fly and sneaking into supposed news reports, and the ABC reporter, I wonder, was at the scene, hmmmmm coincedence? Baggy dad is a big city.
Perhaps the A rab is an ex Saddam secret service agent that was employed in the wood chiper section of a torture prison, and truely is pissed off that he is now un-employed.
If the Americans were uncomprehending, the speaker would have been speaking in Arabic. I would like to know the the byline on this one.
Perhaps another one of those "freelance" reporters like the cameraman that was shot?
