"We went there to help them liberate their country, and all they did was shoot us in the back."



HaHaHa- boy did he get that wrong.

[goldstategop]

Bwahahahaha!!! About the best news I've heard all year. The Jihadists being rejected by Iraqis. How 'bout that... they'll never live this down in the Arab world.

"I am not afraid of the Americans. On the contrary I want to fight them. But I was scared of the Iraqis, specifically those who call themselves the Iraqi opposition," he said.

Bump!

"But I told him that God is on our side."

Hey Genious, If God were on your side, your side wouldn't have lost 800 of 830 tanks and tens of thousands of men.

Next time call first, you dipstick.

"I went there to be a martyr, not to be murdered by a brother," he told Reuters. "We went there to help them liberate their country, and all they did was shoot us in the back."

Duh. They didn't want Sadamn or you pigs around. They are actually intelligent people who have been repressed by a brutal dictator. All of the "martyrs" should be given their wish.

"I am not afraid of the Americans. On the contrary I want to fight them. But I was scared of the Iraqis, specifically those who call themselves the Iraqi opposition," he said."

You should be afraid. We'll be in Beirut soon enough.

Boohoo. Wish you were dead.

Wait! Come back. We aren't finished killing all you guys yet.

Then Salaam, 24 years old and unemployed, was sent to war.

Key word.

[johniegrad]

We stayed at the front five days and we didn't eat anything.

He meets all criteria to become a Zimbabwe war veteran.

"I feel I am stronger than a hero," Salaam said. "I thought when I saw an airplane I would flee, but I stayed and I waited for them and God gave me the strength."

Easy to say from Lebanon.

Just how incredibly stupid can these dweebs be, anyway?

[goldstategop]

They swallowed all that Al Jazeera propaganda about endless Iraqi victories as the gospel truth. The rest is history.

"Just how incredibly stupid can these dweebs be, anyway?"

They have signs on their front lawns:

DRAFT GORE!!!

>>They swallowed all that Al Jazeera propaganda about endless Iraqi victories as the gospel truth.

That's a key point. These people set themselves up for insanity. There was a story last night of a captured Iraqi officer, taken to a hanger at the airport (which Baghdad Bob had assured them had been retaken by the Effete Republican Guard), breaking down, starting to cry, asking, "how long have they been lying to us?"

Not good for your mental health.

Being unemployed at 24 in an Arab country is not at all like being unemployed at 24 in America.
