We removed Saddam and look how our troops are being treated. Iraqi's should be protecting and assisting our troops in mass, at least in the Shiite areas.

"Iraqi's should be protecting and assisting our troops in mass, at least in the Shiite areas."

How can the Iraqis protect us? Are we handing out weapons en masse to everyone? I don't think so. I don't expect them to walk around our troops as human shields. Heck, we wouldn't even let them. Of course there are extremist elements in a country with ethnic tensions, Islamic extremism, that was ruled for so long by a genocidal nut.

When we have our first Tet Offensive sent against us, then I'll begin-- just being-- to wonder if something is wrong with Iraqis. Until then, it's prettymuch what I expected.
