How do Muslums deal with this ?

[jeezeweeze]

Do you think the average Iraqi on the street will start standing up to the militants ???

Oh I forgot. Most average Iraqi on the street.....fled the country. As are most of America's so called co-alition.

# Poland will withdraw its troops from Iraq by the end of October, a spokesman for the Polish military said Thursday. October 31 will be the last day of the Polish presence, Maj. Dariusz Kacperczyk said in Warsaw. About 900 Polish troops are in Iraq, with most in Diwaniya, some in Baghdad and others in the southern city of Kut. Twenty-two Polish troops have died during the nearly 5-year war in Iraq.


Looks like the BRAVE SUICIDE BOMBERS are running out of BRAVE SUICIDE BOMBERS or virgins.

This just begs for the obligatory Polack joke.

The new Polish navy has all glass bottom boats so they can see the old Polish navy.

I'll appologize now. I'm sorry.

I know. I thought of a couple myself. I didn't think people told those anymore.

Part of the article

U.S. military officials referred to the two attacks as suicide bombings, saying both women detonated the explosive devices.

"The U.S. officials also gave a much lower casualty toll, with 27 civilians dead and 53 others wounded."

"The Pentagon attributed the attacks to al Qaeda in Iraq and made no reference to the mental conditions of the women."




Check out the caption under the original photo in the article.


"Iraqi soldiers secure the scene of a bombing Friday at a popular pet market in central Baghdad."

Anyone else besides me find something wrong with the pic ????

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.

I heard that in one of the bombings, instead of a suicide bomber, bombs were strapped to two ladies with down's syndrome...
Isn't that terrible? The had no idea what was going on....
I can't believe somebody could do that, but then...there's lots of that happening.

These are the type of people we are up against in the war on terror...and the liberals in our gov't don't want us to be able to put a mask over their head, deprive them of food or waterboard them...

One of those bombings occured in my AO, the other happened in my old AO. (AO = Area of Operation). They were both female, neither was handicaped. There is nothing wrong with that picture, it was about 60 degrees that day, freezing by an Iraqi's standards. The Iraqis are standing up to the militants in some places, just not all over yet. But hey, if we pay the bad guys to be good guys, then we might just run out of bad guys. Until the money dries up anyway. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this country is going to tear itself apart as soon as we step out of the picture. Saw a bumper sticker in arabic on one of our trucks the other day, I asked an interpeter what it said. Apparently is says "Dear Iraqi motorist, thank you for not exploding. Have a nice day."
