The "tangible proof and agency of freedom?" Good God, don't make me laugh.

And wait just one NY minute there mary garvey--we are told day in and day out that these folks of ours in Iraq are doing what they are doing for AMERICAN freedom, not Iraqi freedom. So let's just get that one straight too while we're at it.

And I would absolutely love it if the Iraqis didn't need the American military to deliver their food, water, petrol, elctricity, etc etc to them. In fact, I'd really like to see the American military get the hell out of Iraq so the Iraqis can provide those things for themselves, just like they were doing before we invaded and occupied their country and set off a fire storm of insurgent violence in the process.

Can't imagine WHY the Iraqis don't appreciate all our troops are trying to do for them. Those lousy, ungrateful bastards. How dare they shoot at our convoys?
