Iraqi man detained for shouting slogans praising Saddam Hussein

[NNN0LHI]

An Iraqi man detained for shouting slogans praising Saddam Hussein during a demonstration refuses to sit down when ordered by a U.S. Army soldier in central Baghdad October 15, 2003. The sign at rear reads in Arabic, 'We will win'. War in Iraq has swollen the ranks of al Qaeda and galvanized the Islamic militant group's will, the International Institute for Strategic Studies said on Wednesday in its annual report. The 2003-2004 edition of the British-based think-tank's annual bible for defense analysts, The Military Balance, said Washington's assertions after the Iraq conflict that it had turned the corner in the war on terror were 'over-confident.'

4. Oh, come on!

Can't you see all of those open arms wishing to hug our troops? If you look REEEEEEALLY hard you can see piles and piles of flowers they threw, welcoming us to destroy their country. Look closely now....

Oh ya, we're loved in Iraq!

Over-confident? I'd say! They hate our guts!
