Is anyone watching this???

CNN interviewing "escaping" Iraqi soldiers, walking home from northern Iraq to their homes in Baghdad. The reporter just pulled them out of line to talk with them.

They are glad that the Americans have "saved" them, their officers abandoned them and took all their ID papers. They left their weapons and uniforms and just started walking home.

I'm watching it now thanks to your heads up!

Bob Arnot (bless him) on MSNBC reported a similar story last week, and then it seems I read yet another story about the Iraqi soldiers being happy and grateful to be in American hands, or in this case, that the Americans won.

So I've known of this phenomenon for about a week. How stunning is that. Of course, we here at FR knew how oppressed and manipulated these people have been, so KUDOS to CNN for airing this and spreading the word.

Before I sign off, just to clarify my "how stunning is that" was referring to the fact that the soldiers fighting in the Iraqi army are relieved to be in American hands, if captured, or happy they we have won and they can go home.

I am pleased CNN showed this.
