Talk about teenage complex of invincibility.

Well, the kids do live in THEIR country being occupied by foreign forces. What should they throw . . . roses and halaqeem? It's not like the kids can engage in much dialogue b/c the undocumented aliens don't know the local language.

Meh..more suicide by armed forces, become a martyr go to heaven, woot woot, go Islam!! :roll:

You're creating these 'martyrs'. When they grow up to start throwing grenades and strapping bombs to themselves, you're going to wonder how it came to be. And it's easy, it's happening because of now. Without the invasion, these kids would grow up to hate Saddam, not America.

The middle east hated America already, it is the great evil remember. The hate didn't start on 9/11

I don't think the people of Iraq hated America.

There is no evidence to suggest they hated America.

If anything Iraq was a silent country that was forced to do whatever their leader wanted them to do.

US-Israeli relations never hurt anything in that area huh? As well, when you consider the evidence that most terrorist/insurgents/enemy soldiers are comming from Iran/Saudi Arabia/Egypt ect, the fact remains this is is the collomation of many decades of hate, the only difference is that now they can strike the US because the US is in there home, not seperated by a massive ocean and a another continent. I am sure if they had the capabilities to actually attack america (see 9/11 whe they were able to) everyday they would have. The major difference between now and than? America is easily accessible, and you are able to attack relatively easily.

That isn't true. Most of the insurgents in Iraq are locals.

The leaders who make the insuregency are not.

As if you have the definitive answer....

The video shows how frustrated the guys are over there. When you want to use deadly force agianst kids who throw rocks I think maybe you've been in the war a little to long.

Like a friend of mine (who just returned from Iraq), said, "We haven't won the hearts and minds of the Iraqi's, so what's the point.'

The Bushies were so totally f*cked up in their misjudgements on how to handle the aftermath of overthrowing Saddam. They just used wishful thinking to base US foreign policy. We need new people in charge not new P.R. campaingns. We need to set a realistic goal and a realistic plan to meet it. Execute it and get the troops back on board the ships so they can be tan, rested and ready for when we invade Iran.

People can't see it and I am surprised TBH.
If we Americans in general sitting here at the comfort of our own houses and in the safety of this great country and can't see the point behind this war, HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO CONVINCE THOSE HOPELESS IRAQI CHILDREN THAT HAVE THERE HOUSES DESTROYED , THEIR FUTURE MORE DOOMED THAN EVER AND THEIR FAMILY DEAD THAT WHAT IS GOING IN THEIR COUNTRY IS FOR THEIR BEST ? SOMEONE ANSWER ME PLEASE!!!!!!

Well, I would think we would start with the Iraqs that familly is not dead and there house not destroyed and milk it, propaghada campaign, launder money to televeision stations to promote us ect ect. And ignore the ones you mentioned until the go away.

That's true, GW and the boys are American

 

[Orignal Earl]

But seriously, wouldn't all insurgents be from iraq? There are foriegn terrorists running around now
I know the media and the leadership has blended it all together, but we should try to be better then that

 

[mackle]

These rocks and grenades do look similar....so maybe many of our troops died becuz of these bastards. I'll get out of the car and kick their f*cking asses.

 

[raildogg]

Our soldiers need to be very aware of the situation at all times. A stone throwing protest can easily get out of hand and it has happened before. The public of Iraq is not on our side. Anbar province and other areas have shown that we must be very careful of the public and take all precautions. Throwing stones are our soldiers is not acceptable because the situation can change quickly.

Better be safe and do something to make sure that does not happen.

If America is ever invaded & occupied by a hostile military force and I am killed, I hope the very least my children do is throw rocks at the people who killed me. Why would anyone expect anything less?

If we leave their country, maybe they won't throw rocks at us anymore, or perhaps Herr Bushler will say they are planning to come over here and throw their rocks.

To those who say that throwing rocks is practice for throwing grenades when they grow up, I say that I throw the ball at the wickets when I play cricket...... Get rid of me quick or I might start throwing grenades when I grow up... :roll:

I say that kids throwing rocks at armed soldiers is Darwinism in action.
Eventually someone is going to hit a soldier hard, and a soldier will open fire.
It's like poking a sleeping dog with a stick, eventually someone will get bitten.
I have no problem with this, rocks can cause serious injury, and should be dealt with quickly.
These are not traffic cops, these are soldiers-trained to kill.
If this country were invaded, I would hope our kids would have more sense than to try and take on armed soldiers with rocks.
Now a suicide bombing, however terrible, makes a lot more sense than using a rock against an armed soldier.

Talk to me when the U.S. gets invaded by foreign forces. You gonna lay down like a little girl and cry? Or are you gonna fight back. Me, I'll be fighting like a pit bull. To each his own I guess. At least you're honest, sweetie.

I'm pretty sure we will all be on the frontline fighting those evil canadians when they finally invade.
