'Coalition' Troops caught working as Insurgents, AGAIN

[ck4829]

This time it is Americans, and yes, this is cited from a Libertarian Site, I think it adds to the validity of this in a way.

"It's happened again - allied troops being caught with bombs. This time it is the Americans captured in the act of setting off a car bomb in Baghdad. Last time, as FMNN reported only weeks ago, two British soldiers, apparently working for British intelligence, were caught near Baghdad similarly equipped.

According to the Mirror-World, "A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress as they tried to blow up a booby-trapped car in the middle of a residential area in western Baghdad on Tuesday. … Residents of western Baghdad's al-Ghazaliyah district the people had apprehended the Americans as they left their Caprice car near a residential neighborhood in al-Ghazaliyah on Tuesday afternoon. Local people found they looked suspicious so they detained the men before they could get away. That was when they discovered that they were Americans and called the … police." Just as in the British incident, the Iraq police arrived at approximately the same time as allied military forces - and the two men were removed from Iraq custody and whisked away before any questioning could take place.

The incidents are said to be fueling both puzzlement and animosity among Iraqis. Yet the motivation behind such activities remains formally unknown since in both cases the soldiers involved have been removed with an efficiency that has quashed any attempts at an interrogation."

What do you all think about this?

1. Well, if there was no insurgency

there'd be no need to keep U.S. and British troops in Iraq...

2. they want to keep the troops there

so they can spend money, make money, create terra and confuse everybody in the process - sorta like whats happening here - huh

4. As long as Bush is in office, the troops ain't leaving

he's said so himself. "Total victory" means we get the oil.

5. sounds remarkably similar to a post made last night

the source was questionable (link that is, not the poster) because it was an Iraqi "insurgent" site hosted out of Moscow.

Needs corroboration but if it's true...

US Military do it?I hate to say this,I lost all support for our troops.I would support all troops coming home before the end of Nov.

8. They're more likely to be mercenaries than 'troops' imho.

Just sayin'. :shrug:

10. You are probably right

You won't get an argument from me about this.

When I was making this post, "Troops" was the first word that came to mind.

9. Oh My God. Will this never end???

Is this reported anywhere else? Who is freemarketnews? This is copied from their "About Us" page:

Dear Free-Market Thinkers,

Technology breaks down regulatory barriers. In the early 21st century, the world, and the West in particular, is seeing convulsive change. While more and more laws are passed and taxes levied in pursuit of public solutions, a groundswell of support for the benefits of private enterprise is evident in numerous websites and blogs on the 'Net.

FMNN itself is an independent media solution, an Internet-grown, free-market alternative to mainstream media complexes. The key to our success - and to attracting thousands of members from around the world - lies in our commitment to peering behind Big Media mainstream reports to provide more accurate news and analysis in areas of politics, sociology, business and finance.

We're driven by truth. So are you.

Your Free-Market Friends

I would have liked something a bit more informative... such as who they are and how they are funded.

Anyone have more information. I would like to have more information on who is bringing the information before I go off the deepend on this latest apparent betrayal of the American trust.
