"The U.S. military said it was not clear why the Iraqi soldier had opened fire"
There's the joke of the week. The term US military intelligence has been an oxymoron for decades.
Let me put it this way for those who don't see it quite like me. You militarily attack and invade a foreign country and expect loyalty from the subjugated people ? The ones who claim to be on your side cannot be trusted. If they are loyal to their country they cannot be trusted because we are enemies, if they claim to be loyal to us they cannot be trusted because they are traitors.
Let me put it this way, if I have you down on the ground with my foot on your neck and tell you to say "uncle" what do you do ? Now you stand up and I give you a gun. What would you do then ? Say "uncle !", BOOM.
There is one maxim of human nature I am going to try to express succinctly, inventing words this time (yes again).
It is impossible for loyalty to be forced on the loyaltor by the loyaltee.
If you invaded and destroyed my country I would most likely not even feign loyalty to you, but if I do watch out. Just give me one chance and I will take as many of you out as possible.
In Iraq even those who hated Saddam hate us worse. Saddam did not kill their children. Case closed. There is nothing we can do to succor the friendship of those who (rightly) see us as an enemy. Nothing. No amount of money. How much is the bounty of Bin Laden's head now ? Why don't they take the money ?
When you get these Amerocentric views out of the way it is clear, they are not greedy. What's more, to even call it Amerocentric is a misnomer, because we are only part of North America. But we claim to speak for America.
And anyone who does not take our money has something wrong with their head. They are either an Islamofascist or a terrorist or something. In our eyes they have no right to be loyal to their country. Expecially in the presence of their "liberators".
Yup we liberated them alright., we liberated them from electricity and potable water, from hospitals and schools, from all kinds of evil things.
And everybody forgets that we put Saddam in place in the first place, that all came about when Iran was holding prisoners from a US embassy that should not have even been there. After the Shah had supported Carter, of course he could not send him back to face justice, so even your beloved peanut President cannot come to a table with clean hands.
They don't just siege embassies for no good reason. It's risky and a pain in the ass. Suicide bombing is a final pain in the ass. these things are last resorts, because reason will not work. The US government thinks it can dictate anything anywhere, oh except for a few places, places that have their own nukes. Russia, China and Israel come to mind.
If you invaded my country, even after an armistice, I would shoot you in the back as you got on the plane to go home. I would try to see to it you never made it home to see your kids, especially if your army hurt or killed mine. Intentionally, on purpose.
I support our troops so much that I want them here, perhaps at the Mexican border doing their Constitutional duty. But I have no ire whatsoever for anything the Iraqi people do in light of what has happened.
And the Shah of Iran was a torturing butchering MF, he should never have gotten asylum here, if anything he should've been shipped off to the Hague. Actually better would be to send him back for a taste of his own medicine.
But Carter was in love with the MF, or his money, so more shit starts in the middle east. That's basically how Saddam got there in the first place. Thine enemy's enemy is thine friend.
That's the thinking, but when you hold alot of cards in the game (military might), you cannot trust that maxim.
That is all there is to it.
