WTG!

The bodies in the hospital were Iraqis, apparently (not killed in rescue attempt, but in previous fighting).

Sorry,

TV update, haven't seen any links yet.   They just said they found bodies.  No indication of nationality or how they died.  They IMPLIED US bodies, but didn't even come out and say that.

Lets not confuse the Iraqis with the Afghanis.  Iraq is a very civilized nation.  I seriously doubt any American POWs were executed or used for target practice.  It was probably a very quick ambush from close range, the Iraqis had time to aim well whilest the Americans never knew what hit them.  They most likely grabbed the girl and a few others and hauled them back to base after the short gun battle was over.

Its easy to speculate, but realistically, the Iraqis know they cant win, so I dont imagine they will be wanting to commit lots of war crimes.  They have cared for POWs so far, and I imagine they will continue to do so.

But I am very very glad this girl was rescued.  I don't believe combat is anyplace for a teenage girl.

The iraqis in general were or even still are a civilized people to a lage extent no doubt. However 40 years of baathism and saddam hussein has made many of them very barbaric and uncivilized. They are probabbly civilized the same way nazi germany was civilized, yes i think thats a pretty good comparison - the people are civilized but the govt has brought out and beat in the demons of these peple.

I believe Iraq to be much more civilized than other middle-eastern countries.  Not sure if I made that very clear in my post.  I would much rather be a POW in Iraq rather than Iran or Afghanistan.

I'm not defending Iraq in anyway.  But compared to the nations which are overflowing with muslim fundamentalist/extremest (now these are the real whackos, executing men, women, and children left and right), Iraq is practically a peace loving nation.

I also believe that most Iraqis are educated enough to not believe the garbage about dying and going to heaven with 40 virgins.  Well they might go to heaven with 40 virgins (their comrades) if they try to engage U.S. forces.

You just dont get it do you? Iraq is not the problem, saddam hussein is the problem. He is very uncivilzed, hell he and his sons put people feet first through giant shereddingf machines.  And BTW Iran is just as civilized as iraq, actually probably more.

Your a ****ing moron.

The average Iraqi is a decent sort I'm sure. Saddams cronies are not. Who the **** do you think was holding this girl and those prisoners? Mr and Ms common Iraqi? Buy a clue dumb ass.


Those soldiers that went in and got that young trooper out.

There are 11 bodies out there... and that has me whoopee pissed.

Batdog you are very belligerent and ignorant.  Go through boot camp and some additional training and you think that makes a 5'4 teenage girl who joined up for college tuition a soldier?  Oh yeah, she is probably a hard-core killing machine.

I really dont see what you are getting so angry and upset over?  Do you think the Iraqi army is a totally different population than the civilians?  Where do you think the army gets its soldiers?  But I guess for an uneducated person like yourself, your reasoning is as good as could be hoped for.

I'm not understanding the conflict here.  Iraq is much more modern in terms of technology and goverment than its neighbors.  Does Iraq have a king and queen? Does Iraq require that women wear cloths over their faces?  Is muslim fundamentalism the primary religion?  

Lets take a look at the word CIVILIZED: To raise from barbarism to an enlightened stage of development; bring out of a primitive or savage state.

For every execution in Iraq I gurantee there were at least 5 in Iran or Afghanistan.

I forget, what is the only country in the U.N. to execute prisoners/political enemies?  Oh thats right, the UNITED STATES.
