This makes me sick. Seriously I cannot think of anything I trust less then my Government and that sad man, real sad ! : [

The people of Iraq had a saying "stop shooting at the americans and they will pay you" This has been going on for years. During the Iraq war we payed for Community imrovements (mosques) left and right. The funny thing is we could not enter the mosques even after giving them the money. One time in Habaniyah, Iraq a neihboring friendly unit was passing through and took fire from the mosques minaret that we helped rebuld. The unit shot a law rocket and busted a hole in the minaret. The first thing we did was go and pay for the minaret to be repaired and we also gave the mosque a generator. 3 months later the minaret was still not repaired the money was spent on other stuff and they were insisting that we give them diesel fuel to run the generator.
During the initial invasion we destroyed most of the infrastructure which basically was shoddy anyways. Ofcourse we then replaced it with modern versions. We built roads, schools,police stations and yes many many mosques. Not to mention we trained and equipped the police force and the Iraqi army. Many times recruits would join just to get free stuff then run off. The whole middle east situation is just senseless. I have always felt that we are there and will remain there not just for oil. We are definately looking for something else. I have my theories but that is for another post in another forum. Just dropping my 2 cents..I apologize in advance for the grammer mistakes i cant help it ...I R GRUNT

The raping of America!
