BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi government has moved to sharply restrict the movement and activities of U.S. forces in a new reading of a six-month-old U.S.-Iraqi security agreement that has startled American commanders and raised concerns about the safety of their troops.

Then listen to this guy (Maj. Gen. Daniel P. Bolger, commander of the Baghdad division, wrote in an e-mail obtained by The Washington Post):

"Our partners burn our fuel, drive roads cleared by our Engineers, live in bases built with our money, operate vehicles fixed with our parts, eat food paid for by our contracts, watch our video feeds, serve citizens with our , and benefit from our air cover," Bolger noted in the e-mail.

Does the good General rival the Former about having head in the sand? Does he not realize we invaded their country, blew it up, killed many many of the citizens, during an immoral invasion? Does he think we should just let them be in the stone age because of our "oops"? Asshole!

2. Some people just don't know when they are not welcome.

The Iraqis want us out so they can control their own future which is to kill each other. Anyone who does not recognize that we wasted the lives of our military has got to be very stupid.

4. Some (a minority of) Iraqis want to "kill each other" not all Iraqis.

My guess is that most Iraqis want peace, security, and a good job to make a better life for themselves and their families. Kind of the same things that most of us want.

Are there some who couldn't care less what most Iraqis want? Sure. Just like there are some here who couldn't care less what most Americans want.
