When they are paid off by someone in U.S. Dollars for intelligence.

To understand how Iraqi's are you have to understand the people and their loyalties. It's hard for a lot of us to understand HERE because most of us are loyal to our country, our flag and it's principals. Iraqi's do not have that strong nationality. They are loyal to their religion. They don't trust anyone and a lot of the economy is done "underground" through stealing, deal making, bribes etc. We cannot instill a sense of pride and nationalism over night.
