Trained To Kill. Us.
“BAGHDAD (Reuters) – U.S. soldiers killed at least six Iraqi policemen and seven suspected militants during a dawn raid in east Baghdad on Friday to arrest an Iraqi police lieutenant accused of militant links, the U.S. military said.
A U.S. war plane made an air strike during the fighting after U.S. soldiers were attacked with “heavy and accurate” gunfire from an Iraqi police checkpoint, rooftops and a nearby church, the military said in a statement.”
We’re the people training police tactics to these Iraqis, who then use their sophisticated training to attack us.
There never was a really strong case for going into Iraq in the first place, as we now know. The excuses for doing so were a collage of deceptions, distortions and outright lies. On that alone, a good case can be made for leaving, except that doing so now that we’ve destroyed the stable government they had will leave them without a replacement government and subject to anarchy.
Even with that argument, Iraq looks to be in a state of anarchy now, with us there. This is how Iraqis run things, with the theft of $300,000,000 (that’s three hundred million dollars from a bank in Baghdad that was guarded by only 3 men who stayed inside the bank at night. When bank employees arrived for work on Wednesday they found the front door open and the money and the 3 guards gone, no doubt to fund more weapons to kill more of our soldiers.
Putting a fortune like that in the hands of 3 poorly paid Iraqis whose loyalties are always questionable. Don’t they even use vaults? If the money were locked in a vault with alarms and a decent security system, it would still be there.
These are the idiots we’re trying to democratize? Which of us is the stupidest?

Ellison is a dipwad who has little or no impact on anything except to get negative reports like that in the media. I wouldn’t expect to see him get re-elected.
You never emailed. westerner at islamanazi.com. Are your travel plans still on?

I hope the voters see Ellison for what he is. The facts about him have been published anywhere voters want to read them, just do a search.
I mentioned the Iraqi police in a post yesterday I think, but most of the news wasn’t focused on the Iraqi police who were trained by Iran to kill Americans … it focused on the house and innocent people that got killed in the strike. Hey, you hang around bad guys, you pay the price.

Those 6 cops are linked to Iran thru their lieutenant, who has Iranian connections. I disagree with Debbie on this as that doesn’t mean they were trained in or by Iran. In point of fact, we have had repeated problems with the Iraqi police either fighting another sect or fighting us. Remember when the Brits had to smash into an Iraqi jail to free two of their soldiers? How many reports have you seen on TV of “insurgents dressed in police uniforms”, police killing squads, and Iraqi police who refused to assist us?
