US soldiers=iraq terrorists?

could the US soldiers be making the car bombs in iraq? it would make sense because then they could have occupation of iraq for longer seeing that there is meant to be a election in a week or something?!

of course, but why bother?

they could just stay there with no reason at all and it would be enough to say it was necessary for any reason they see fit.

I don't know about that, but the simple fact that the Iraq invasion/occupation is considered illegal by international authority and the prerequisite WMD issue being a negative makes every coalition soldier a participant in illegal force to affect political change, IMO. Which is the definition of terrorism. I don't just mean setting off car bombs, but the entire war and occupational violence itself.

Resolution 1483

Really? Link?
From a left leaning, anti-war site:

If you assume that the United States is unstoppable, then resolution 1483 makes a certain kind of sense in that it oozes oleaginously into the hole that the Iraq invasion made in the UN Charter, and gives it at least the surface appearance of integrity. But by bowing down so quickly, the Security Council actually relinquished one of its last opportunities to get serious concessions. Instead, it can safely be said the U.S. got everything it wanted out of 1483, which lifts sanctions and effectively allows the U.S. to spend the oil revenue. On May 22, Security Council members legalized the results of an invasion that most of them had considered illegal. In effect, the UN recognized that the U.S. stole Iraq fair and square and can do with it what it wants.

Resolution 1483: Legalizing an Occupation

Seems that those "international countries" who proclaimed and asserted that the Iraq "invasion" was "illegal" have likewise made it legal?

Not a chance that the US is making its own car bombs. They dont need the excuse of more threat to enable them to stay. They have enough to contend with at the moment.

Do you really think the forces out there want to stay longer than is needed?

They are there for the forth coming election, after that, who knows what they are going to do. My guess is restoring peace and calm when civil war breaks out because the Iraq population dont like the new "leader" chosen by the Iraqis themselves or chosen by another body.
