Why Aren't More Iraqi's Pissed at Bu$h

[Lost Texan in NC]

:smoke:

I really don't understand why the People of Iraq, and America, are not taking to the streets, screaming and protesting for Bu$he$ head on a plater. He has made the statement often that "we must fight them there, so we don't have to fight them here." What gives Bu$h the right to make another country a battlefield where thousands of innocent civilians have died at the hands of both insurgents and American troops. I don't know about you, but if someone invaded my country to make it their own personal battlefield so they didn't have to fight in their own country, I too would be an insurgent. I love America, not the government, but at least half of this country is self centered, egotistical jerks who believe they are the only ones on this earth that matter.

Sorry Just Venting.

1. I'm sure they are.

But the MSM will never cover it.

[Howardx]

2. how would we know if they were or not?

who would tell us?

10. You are absolutely right

:smoke:

I have noticed that the media is scared Sh*tless of Bu$h. Just ask Judith Miller.

13. So true

[still_one]

3. What do you think they are doing

there are about 80 attacks a day

If our idiot leader decides to invade or even bomb Iran, you will probably see the Shiites in Iraq rise up against our soldiers

They are in a very bad situation

[tanyev]

4. The non-violent Iraqis who might do such a thing are too scared

by the Iraqis who are already showing how pissed they are by blowing themselves up.

[Booster]

5. I don't think Rove's gonna let the MSM tell us what the Iraqis

really think. I read that they were getting a petition of one million Iraqis to tell the US to get out of their country, but Bush ignored 5 million people who marched all over the world to stop him from invading Iraq, and he called them a "focus group". To quote Bush, "Who cares whatcha think".

6. Well, the Iraqis have good reason for not being in the street....

risking your life to walk out the front door, i don't think i'd be too focused on the emperor. This country....is another thing.

[LittleClarkie]

7. Americans not paying attention

mostly because they can't see the dead.

Iraqis - would we know if they were upset? Would our press tell us?

[babylonsister]

8. The majority of insurgents are Iraqis; they are angry,

and who can blame them?

[Warren DeMontague]

9. You mean aside from the ones who are busy blowing stuff up?

Hmmm. They're either consolidating their power into a new "Democratic" constitution which will ensure that Iraq is a Shiite Theocracy where, for example, women have far fewer rights than they did before, or they're trying to deal with no water and no electricity, because all the US Tax money earmarked for "reconstruction" has been hauled out by Contractors in duffel bags..

But if you're talking about the Iraqis that aren't pissed at Bush, hey, that's a good question. They're all in the United States and on the Bush Administration PR Payroll, and you're right, they have a surprisingly low level of animosity towards Mr. Bush.

11. The ones who are not pissed lived in the US or abroad the last 30 yrs.

The rest of them are pissed but not showing it so much because they are OCCUPIED don't forget. They need whatever handouts our military gives them...it's a matter of survival.

[leftchick]

12. They fucking hate America..

Just leaf through the Yahoo Iraq photo gallery once a day and you will see the hate. You won't see it on your meriKan TV.

:(

I can't say as I blame them... :cry:

14. They probably don't want to be beaten to a pulp

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. If they were, do you think we'd hear about it?

[Jacobin]

16. Judging from the insurgency, I would say they are pretty pissed
