#2 You mean they refused to do their duty, Murat?

#3 Most Arabs are upright, cleanliving, citizens of the world. Can't you tell by the quality of their nations? By the quality of their lifestyles?

(sarcasm off)

Oh, wait, the medication's cutting in....

#4 You're saying he should feel some sort of familial loyalty to the insurgents backed by the same Syria that invaded and conquered the country his family came from?

That's a (explicitive explicitive explicitive deleted) of a double-standard you've got there, Murat.

#5 While I'm at it, the insurgents have over the past year managed to kill a lot more of their "arab brethren" than they have Americans. You don't seem to have any problems with that.

#6 Does Murat follow the fake religion of peace? Does he know where Moh slay the dragon?

Those top officers from saddam's crack divisions, the ones who rolled over the great menace Kuwait, know how to handle the pious brotherhood. They know where Moh slayed the dragon and pumped the virgins.

#7 Murat: General Abizaid probably thought all Arabs are like him, and will shoot their own kin.

Actually, Abizaid probably thought that all Muslims are like Christians, and will shoot the bad guys regardless of religion. The US killed millions of German Christians in WWII and thousands of Serb Christians in defense of Muslims during Bosnian and Kosovo crises. Arabs think that Abizaid is Arab first and Christian second. They're wrong. Abizaid is American first, Christian second, and then - and only then - Arab third.

#8 Hey, Murat -- I'm still waiting for your evidence that I'm a Kurd. It's been months, and you still haven't ponied up?

Why?

#9 RC, I would take that as a compliment.

#10 I'm not saying I was insulted. Murat said it as an attempt to weasel out of an idiotic position, and want to keep reminding him and everyone else what a weasel he is.

#11 General Abizaid probably thought all Arabs are like him, and will shoot their own kin.

Actually, they will. It's just that while the IP might not feel like shooting "their own kin", Sadr and his followers would have no qualms whatsoever shooting anyone that opposes them. Anyone, including their own kin.

#12 I didn't know there were French immigrants in Iraq.

#13 Bet they'll be a fighting mood when they don't get paid.

#14 When you're an American you're an American first. If you aren't then you aren't one. Wax nostalgic for your grandad's country all you want, but remember who you are when the rubber hits the road.

Abizaid knows who he is.
