This has already been posted in a previous thread. Anyway, yeah, those guys are pretty idiotic. Gung-ho military "intelligence" at its finest.

No shit they don't understand what you're saying. Half of the people who speak English as a first language can't understand this "Tupac" accent.

Man, with the recent prisoner abuse and stuff like that...

it really seems like some soldiers are over there actin' a fool.

They seem to take pride in touting America's supremacy over these people to the point where it is almost sickening...

People get pushed, and people push back. It's basic human behavior.

Gee, I wonder why they hate Americans. :rolleyes:

Though, if the driver was a taxi driver and he assisted the theft, or was responsible for the theft... well, you get what you deserve. But I suppose it could also be argued they needed fire wood since THEIR FUCKING ELECTRICTYprobably DIDN'T FUCKING WORK!

Well, whatever.

It's practically impossible to tell who's really at fault in any of these situations. You just never get the whole story.

I never thought I'd say this but...

Those Iraqis should've tried to kick those soldiers' asses. And then when those soldiers kill all of those Iraqis and then later on when good soldiers show up and the bad ones have to explain why they killed defenseless people people, they'll get court martialed.

Of course, those soldiers aren't representative of the majority of the military, so anybody who thinks it's this sort of shit that makes America evil and shit should realize that the majority of everything that happens there is good stuff.

So you're suggesting that perhaps the soldiers did the right thing?

Wy cant the iraqis just be happy, I mean I bet before the war you could steal all the wood in the world and you wouldnt get punished at all. Now look at the great coalition forces upholding the law, making sure people cannot steal wood.
Hurray for justice.

Eh, well at least seeing a tank crush that car was cool.

Sucks a lot to be that Taxi driver though.

I shit you not this is about the fifth time I've heard officially published instances of tankers crushing the cars of looters, and EVERY SINGLE TIME the claim afterward was that the owner was a taxi driver. It reminds me of on every episode of cops when they find drugs on somebody it's always "some guy gave it to me, i didn't know what it was" to save themselves immediate incrimination (in their minds). I know, not the same situation at all, but you get what I mean. Just the fact that the criminal always has the same exact excuse.

Actually, most Iraqis are happy with the work the US has been doing. The Arab Shiites are not happy though. They are the ones causing all the trouble.

Nah, this one looked like pretty straight forward gung-ho idiocy from the soldiers, but in a lot of the other cases it's difficult to tell, since it seems popular to paint the big, bad American picture.

Perhaps if you have a car in Iraq in you make a living a from it, ie, you become a taxi driver?

In the states if everyone with a car claimed to be a taxi driver it would be absurd, in Iraq it is not necessarily so.
