FALLUJAH, Iraq Hundreds of Iraqis set alight U.S. and Israeli flags on Wednesday as they celebrated the impending pullout of American forces from the country in the former insurgent bastion of Fallujah. Shouting slogans in support of the resistance, the demonstrators held up banners and placards inscribed with phrases like, Now we are free and Fallujah is the flame of the resistance. Surrounded by the Iraqi army, demonstrators carried posters bearing photos of apparent insurgents, faces covered and carrying weapons. They also held up pictures of U.S. soldiers killed and military vehicles destroyed in the two major offensives against the city in 2004.

I hope the Kurds take over the whole country.
Soon to be part of the new Persian empire. Let’s see how they like that.
“Berkely East?”
Now it has a new meaning for me.
Never again do we shed a drop of American blood or a dollar of AMerican treasure for Muslims.
In Nov. 2004, we had to take Fallujah a SECOND time and lost 51 Marines doing it.
We should have given the Muzzies 24 hours to evacuate and then carpet bombed that nest of jihadis.
They could build New Fallujah next door to the craters.
I wish I had an Iraqi flag to burn in protest.
Hope they enjoy learning Farsi. Fem.
Great post, exit 82... I totally agree. Fem.
‘nation building’ is just the best idea ever /sarc
Thanks for the ping!
Muslims are animals, period.
That’s right. FReep ‘em.
“We should have given the Muzzies 24 hours to evacuate and then carpet bombed that nest of jihadis.”
No. The terrorists would have been able to evacuate too, hiding behind their women and children, who are probably as evil as they are.
Bomb the sh!t out of that loser community and kill everyone in it.
Really. What an outrage. Never again.
Very true. Any demonstration in any moderate-size city that gets "hundreds" is either meant to be a minor thing or is a total failure.
And you would think by now we Freepers would have learned to refrain from judgement based on a single establishment media headline, especially if we choose not to read it critically.
Hundreds in Fallujah burn U.S. flag to celebrate troops pulling out of Iraq
. . . . Article, then see breathtaking information at # 60 , also # 71 .
Thanks Cicero.
It is sickening....they’ve had a taste of real freedom. Will they dismiss it? Revert to the old way? Shut off the path to the 21st century? We will see.
Equally, or more, sickening...”his” speechifying to our Fort Bragg troops.
An awful price to pay to learn what Islam really is. Letting them into the country and not securing our borders is a huge mistake as well.
I can't believe the reaction of the postings I have seen. Hundreds speak for ALL of Iraq? That is like saying the Occupy Wall Street speaks for all of America.
You are right. They will fester again like roaches once we leave. But truth is we don't have the resources to stay over there fighting a pc war with a govt. that really does not want to punish an enemy.
We need to secure our own borders and anyone who attacks us in any way should pay a swift but lethal price using anything we have and quickly. We need to takeout 10 for every American that is taken out from now on. It will slow our eventual demise.
Excelent post! Not to take out the mullahs was a huge mistake we will be paying for for along time.
Keep in mind that the US built the world’s largest embassy complex there that will be staffed by thousands. At least there will still be someone there to shovel US taxpayer dollars down the moozlum rathole. Sheesh!
Lather, rinse, repeat. Sooner or later, folks will come around.
Personally, I think most in the SRM should be in prison. They have polluted the minds of the general public with their communist propaganda.
