| Why Nono, I am very skeptical about what I read and where I read it. You are the one that is not being skeptical. None of the things I write are based upon what others say. I have gained my knowledge from first hand experience. If we had not of gone into this war seeking peace, the lives of civilians would not have mattered to us. If that had been our mind set, we would not have been any better than the Russians.
Another thing, how are you so ignorant to be able to state that if we "win the battle" then we'll "lose the war?"
I think that you should be more skeptical about what you read.
Here is a little bit of proof that should help you understand that we are gaining trust in Iraq.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28, 2004 – Iraqi citizens continue to help U.S. soldiers rid their country of illegal weapons, Multinational Force Iraq officials reported today.
Two Iraqi children led 1st Infantry Division soldiers from Task Force Trailblazer to a weapons cache near Bayji this morning. The soldiers discovered nine land mines hidden in a former tank position and are investigating additional caches in the area, officials said.
Later today, near Duluiyah, an Iraqi citizen reported a weapons cache to 1st Infantry Division soldiers. The cache consisted of four 20 mm machine guns, a 60 mm mortar tube, an anti-aircraft gun, a box of 20 mm high-explosive ammunition, a box of .50-caliber ammunition, rocket propellant, rocket fuses, a 20 mm recoilless rifle, and six boxes of armor-piercing ammunition. The cache was transported to a Multinational Force facility for future destruction.
These are only a few examples. These people (Iraqi citizens) are coming to us and helping America because they TRUST us.
This is my evidence I hope this diminishes your appetite. |
