Quote by: RickSp  The reports I have read say that US soldiers are being attacked by the insurgents 800 times per week, not counting the 1500 IED attacks monthly. So with US solders under attack every 12 minutes or so, concluding that the insurgency is not targeting them might not be a fair conclusion. Fortunately, unlike civilians killed by a car bomb in a marketplace, US soldiers are harder to kill en mass. |
That they are, but I wasn't saying they weren't targeting out troops. I merely pointed out they are actually KILLING a lot more of their own, which would indicate we are not the only targets over there and Iraqis killing Iraqis has nothing to do with our presence.
You made the connection between peace in Iraq and our occupation of it. I am saying there seems no likelihood of peace whether we are there or not.
As far as being the main targets, I think we share that with the civilians equally.
