this is what our troops are up against in iraq---

[madrchsod]

whether or not there is a shred of truth in this story ,i am sure that a lot of iraqis have seen or heard of this. who really knows what the truth is but the truth doesn`t matter when it`s the occupiers who allegedly did this.
wouldn`t we think and feel the same way if we were occupied?

That's not all our troops are up against. They're being fed non-stop, right-wing hogwash. No wonder they still think they're punishing Saddam for nukes and 9-11.
