#1 Let's see. I believe that the Iraqis want first crack at American soldiers if they commit some kind of criminal offense while in Iraq. I sort of understand that, but I don't trust their system any farther than I can throw it.

In any case, does that mean reciprocity is in order? Do we get to try Iraqis who commit murder against Americans soldiers?

#3 In any case, does that mean reciprocity is in order?

No.

Do we get to try Iraqis who commit murder against Americans soldiers?

No. We didn't have that in the Phillippines, nor in Japan, Germany, or Korea. It's been that way since we signed SoFAs with those countries. What makes you think we'd have it in Iraq?

why didn't this man die on the spot

Because it's difficult to beat information out of a dead man?

Any more asinine questions?
