From Truth_about_Iraqis
Last week, 14 US soldiers and marines were killed in one day. Three more were killed the next day.The day after that, the Islamic Army showed footage of three separate attacks on US forces.
Footage included the attack on a foot patrol which saw the loss of 10 US marines and the wounding of 11 more.
Some Iraqis have voiced compassion, if not pity, for the US military personnel.
I took a stand saying I could not feel the same. But I reserved what little compassion is left in the aftermath of this war for the mothers of these soldiers.
Until I saw the arrogance displayed by them.
In Monday's edition of The New York Times; "Among the oldest marines killed in the explosion on Thursday was Staff Sgt. Daniel J. Clay, of Pensacola, Fla. He was 27 and had served for nearly a decade. Like those who signed up after the war began, Sergeant Clay had told his family that he believed fully in the job he was doing in Iraq.
"He was a true patriot who believed in his mission and President Bush," his mother, Sarah Jo, said on Saturday."
A true patriot?
Does patriotism involve invading a country that was never a threat to you, destroying its infrastructure, killing tens of thousands of its citizens, establishing torture chambers and prisons, raping, pillaging, and then having the courage to lie about?
Is that "the mission"?
Well, the dead tell no tales, they say, and he is now resting in pieces.
