beowulf 1 #51 May 5, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteChristelsabine: I have found that very little of what you say makes any sense( and that has nothing to do with your english) but this makes the least amount of sense. Where did you get that the US considers all Iraqi's as insurgents? Quote Well any one who stands against our troops that’s what we call them so I guess that’s where he gets it from. I never hear them called a group who is not for the invasions or freedom fighters do you? hmmmm that doesn't make sense either. From what I have seen on TV and from people that I have talked to that were on leave from the military most of the Iraqi's are not a part of the insurgents. You say most not all right? I wonder why we call ALL of them insurgents See that is exactly what I am disputing. When has anyone called all Iraqi's insurgents? I have never seen that anywhere. From what I have read and seen on tv most of the insurgents are not from Iraq. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites christelsabine 1 #52 May 5, 2005 [ Just think happy thoughts.

christelsabine 1 #54 May 5, 2005 QuoteQuoteWhich rules, Justin B.? The war rules of the US invadors??? Invading a country, calling every citizen an insurgent?? Christelsabine: I have found that very little of what you say makes any sense( and that has nothing to do with your english) but this makes the least amount of sense. Where did you get that the US considers all Iraqi's as insurgents? That's fine with me. My informations are based on what I read, hear from people on the spot, TV of course: several channels from outside Germany.. ..and last but not least my own ideas, thinking, brain. I have a brain and use it. My dad, his father too, they were marines, most of my brothers (3) are/were in the army, we have a lot to talk about. THAT makes sense. Anyhow, in my opinion. We do not live in caves or under stones, you know? Christel dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beowulf 1 #55 May 5, 2005 I just talked to a guy that just got back from Iraq 2 months ago last Sat. at the dropzone and he said that most of the insurgents he encountered turned out to not be Iraqi's. hmm maybe you weren't paying attention? I would like to see you quote someone in the News that stated all Iraqis are considered insurgents by the US Gov. I don't think you could. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Citizens try to kill you does that make them insurgents? If you answer yes then your just dead wrong no matter how much you don’t want to admit it. If you answer no, and we know that there is some rebellion from Iraqis then why is every attack by insurgents? Is the media forgetting to check everyone’s passports or are we just more comfortable calling who ever tries to kill us Insurgents?
