The leaders of Iraq need some semblence of acceptance from surrounding states. In these meetings I'm sure they got an ear full. There are parts of this announcement that I do not like at all. Still, reality does force some comments at times that will pacify the regional naysayers.
The part about the terrorists not being called terrorists if they just target U.S. troops is completely unacceptable to me.
The terrorists do not adhere to Geneva Convention standards and basicly tumb their noses at any idea of conducting their actions by acceptable international standards. The left takes the U.S. to task if there's a hint of impropriety, but never addresses the butchery conducted by the terrorists. Why is that?
Why would anyone consider them not to be terrorists at any time?
No sale there...
Some Iraqi delegates are the ones saying they aren't terrorists. I'd say that's more important than a lefty saying it.
