Where are the Iraqi troops?

Post-9/11 Era Forum

Its a little strange that after 10 days of attacking Iraq, the only resistance has come from 'terrorists' and 'guerillas' who have been 'on the prowl' and 'executing' us and uk soliders. I have a sneaky suspicion that popular media may be choosing their wording with a view to moulding public opinion.

It would make for more honest reporting if we heard 'The Iraq military are defending their own country from the invading forces.'

The Iraqis are sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, just like us. Their culture may be different, but their loss of life and their fighting holds the same level of importance to them as ours does to us. And it does not sound like they want 'liberating' but hey, thats just another reason bush has coined since .......the other reasons he gave!

it would be stupid of the iraqi soldiers
to be out in the open wouldnt it,
since the usa uses cluster bombs
to wipe out solders all at once.
and its mostly open desert in iraq.
it might be different in bagdad.

right, could be very stupid to go outside town without air forces : suicide

The point is that Iraqi soliders ARE defending their own country, they are being refered to as terrorists and guerillas not as defending soliders, as they should be. The wording used by the media is to sway people into thinking that we are proper honest to goodness war makers whilst 'they' are dirty playing terrorists. This is not the case, this is war, the us and uk will use any means they can and the Iraqi's will defend with any means they can. WE are in THEIR country. So who are the real terrorists and who are the real soliders? How many American and British children have been burnt and maimed and killed so far by the Iraqi army?

Saddam's forces have adopted the classic guerilla strategy of melting into the civilian population, every Iraqi is a suspect - in Iraq, and given the opportunity scattered around the world.

Back to Iraqi soil, did Pentagon with its overwhelming superiority misjudge the resolve of the ill-equipped Iraqi forces who are putting up stiff resistance by using the hit-and-run tactics of guerilla warfare?

Ohhhhh....so you are saying that the people who are protecting Saddam aren't terrorists? ....Put the crack pipe down..

Lmao Maryjane exactley my point to.

You buggars are on some strong stuff to think that your beloved Saddam aka Satan and his goonie fighters are not terrorist...

You're really full of it...

I am no fan of Saddam. You might not be aware of everything that's happening around you.

About 10 buses leave for Baghdad daily and these days they are almost always full of Iraqis wanting to return home.

Watch the TV, and listed to voices of Iraqis in exiles and immigrants condemning the war. Why do you think they are exiles of Iraq? Do they love Saddam so much? I don't think so. It's their soil you're shelling!!!
