[The DUmmies say] every Iraqi giving the thumbs-up sign is actually flipping off America because a thumbs-up is actually the Arab version of "the finger"

That's the racist BS from the left that really pisses me off. They don't believe the Iraqi people are smart enough to learn an 'American' salute that would be instantly understood by the troops...so as to salute us in our own idiom.

If we were liberated by people who's 'thumbs up' is to make giant wagging moose horns with both hands on my head, then when they rolled into my town, I'd be making giant wagging moose horns with my hands, no matter how strange it seemed to American eyes.
