This is not happening under Iraq's constitution but America's. Big hole in your analogy.

Anything an American soldier does is judged under the U.S. Constitution, the UCMJ, and whatever Status Of Forces Agreement (SOFA) is in place with the local government. You won't see a U.S. soldier judged by Iraqi courts or required to obey the Iraqi constitution (except as directed by our own side) until we get a SOFA with them, which won't be anytime soon.

Right on target. Such irony. A person digs a whole and proclaims someone else dug it... Then they step in it themselves. Awaiting for someone such as yourself to throw them a rope. Question is, will they use the rope to climb out -- acknowledge their error -- or keep digging.

You say, "Anything an American soldier does. . .which won't be anytime soon."

You didn't say anything, at all, on point!
