Today in Iraq we are seeing our men fall in several different ways, several different times for what seems to be several different reasons. The Bush Administration wants us to believe that these attackers are just loyalists of Saddam's Regime. Yet for me that is kind of hard to believe. It is my contention that these attackers are NOT JUST loyalists. I think that these attackers can and will come in many different forms. How can we believe that all these these attackers are faithful of Saddam???
The way I see it they are just people who spite the occupation and hate the foreign presence. Now I am not saying that NONE of these murderers are loyalists. I am saying that not all of them are loyalists. It is hard for me to believe that every person in Iraq has been directed by Saddam to go out in kill. Yes he has told them to do so, but supposedly he has also claimed that he has not been able to send out his messages to the Iraqi people with as much ease as he has in the past. In fact his latest known statement was made on the 17th of June and only til 4th of July has it appeared in mainstream media sources. So that strongly implicates that Saddam is out of touch with his so-called loyalists or any other person for that matter.
So if Saddam can't even give a call out to his people, then how can all these people be taking orders from him??? Well they can't. So that would imply that these so-called loyalists are acting on their own. Just because they are acting on their own doesn't mean that they were not given the order. Yet it does mean that this ploy that these attackers are in direct cahoots with Saddam is a farce.
The reality of it all is the fact that people have their own unwarrented and irrational reasons for doing that which they do. They don't necassarily kill our troops for the glory of Saddam's failing Iraqi dictatorship. Do they???
What is your opinion???
How do you see this action???
Are these attackers motivated by the will to impress their so-called faithful and glorious leader???
Or do they have other more complicated reasons for doing so???
Opinions please........................
UP answered the second. I agree. I must admit the first as well. There are ones that want to make a government free of USA intrusions.

Do you think the people killing troops are the same ones trying to form a new government, or do you think they are part of the murdering tyraants faithful?
