<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>First, everyone has been going on about how horrible all the fighting is, and how shocked they are by the Iraqis actually fighting back instead of surrendering... Jesus fucking Christ, WE ARE INVADING THEIR COUNTRY. What do you expect??? What would you do in their position??? They will fight back and yes they will kill many of our people! In the daytime our technological edge is far smaller and it's not like their guns are any less capable of killing us than ours are of killing them. Their not called an "army" for nothing.

Second, everybody's so horrified that the Iraqi's showed the American POWs on TV, thus violating the Geneva Convention... Well guess what, we're violating that same convention with every Al-Queada prisoner we have at Quantanamo Bay! Thanks to Bush's cow-boy policies we have lost our moral high-ground so we shouldn't really be saying shit. Way to go Bush! Sure I feel sorry for those soldiers and I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in their shoes but I think our government is trying to exploit them just as much as the Iraqi government and for the same reason... to increase the nation's resolve in the war.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I remember hearing an English General on the news saying that he was very shocked to find out that the people were fighting for Hussein. Also his observation was that Saddam had been telling the city "only what he wanted them to know and hear". That Saddam's opinion of Western forces is not trustworthy because he is in opposition to them.

It sounded very much like a satire on the Pro-war US government POV, but I actually think he was 100% serious.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Errr...how is holding Al-Queada prisoners, who aren't an officially designated country, a violation of the Geneva Convention?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I found it pretty funny that US says "we don't care about what the UN says, we're going ahead with the war" then comes back crying that the showing of the prisoners is a violation of the Geneva convention. Well, are you with the UN or not?</div>
