THINK For A Minute WHAT The U.S. Is Asking Of The Iraqi Army!!!
dateline Ohio (or anywhere in 'Murica):

YOU have been invaded by (let's say) Eastasia.

Tanks are rolling through YOUR city and you houses have been bombed, your men taken away, your children (if they are alive) scared and crying.

You have no job. Then, the Eastasian forces tell the men of your city/town that THEY can earn a living by serving in the new 'Murican Army, to FIGHT along side the EASTASIAN forces, AGAINST YOUR OWN 'MURICANS.

So, you sign up as there is no other source of income.

Well, it turns out that your neighbors don't much LIKE their homes being destroyed, don't much LIKE the Eastasian forces storming THEIR lives and decide to fight back.

Now, YOU are a member of the Eastasian Army and YOU are ORDERED to FIGHT AGAINST your neighbor. Fighting FOR the very occupation of YOUR country!

Would it supprise ANYONE that YOU might 'Cut And Run?'

THEN imagine that the Eastasian commanders and leaders would CHASTISE YOU for being a coward!

FUCKING SHOCKING I tells ya! HOW could "they" DO THAT to "us"?

fuck you Bush :puke:

4. then, when. . .
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 06:42 PM by stellanoir
a newspaper is shut down for allegedly inciting violence, sparking more violence, to which is responded by the occupying force by even more violence. Then a town is surrounded by tanks not allowing barely any aid trucks in, allowing some women and children but no men out. Seven hundred so called insurgents are killed. Multiple photographs of dead infants are seen. No one can get to the graveyard to bury the dead so they are buried in a football field.

How would Americans respond to having to turn a football field in a graveyard. . .?

2. Sounds alot like the national US education plan
Destroy the economy
Put everyone out of a job
Offer a way out of poverty via the US military

"Americans die (or kill) for an education"

They lack common sense when it comes to war..they dont look at the reality...they just think with their dicks and think we can bomb our way uf of every predicament.

5. That's why the British always used conscripts from other countries
to suppress populations. They used turks against Indians and Kurds against Africans, works fine but can't say anything good about the outcome.

7. Our leaders who carry out this stupid idea
are sociopathic...They are unable to look upon Arabs as human....the Nazi's had the very same ability to wipe out an entire group of people and not feel anything because in their sick minds they were not real people.... that is by definition a Sociopath.....

11. If America was occupied any...
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 09:27 PM by ezmojason
Americans who sided with the occupiers would be a traitor to their own people.

In Iraq it is the same.

12. They know it's only a matter of time before we bug out...
They and thier families will be punished in reprisals against collaborators by the new poplular regional govenments of the former Iraq.

Call me a cynic.

13. I've been thinking about this as well
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 09:33 PM by Oaf Of Office
And since the Iraqi troops refuse to shoot their own, the Bush crime family is now going to ask Saddam's military officials to do the job. Aren't they the same ones we've accused of "killing their own people?" The hypocrisy is stunning.
