How many of the people storming Fallujah are going to be Iraqis? |
|
that's the weird part. We have the USA as some kind of evil enabler getting these IRaqis to murder each other. Insurgents will fight. THe Iraqi troops have been trained for urban warfare and will probably be made to take the most risks.
THat doesn't mean our Marines won't die...but I just feel that Iraqi troop things is just one of the most immoral parts about all of this.

and join the "insurgents." They have to live in Iraq long after the US is gone. No way are they going to participate in the wholesale slaughter of their countrymen.
