Now that Iraqis are fighting each other as well as the US, It seems that America is killing anybody who looks Arab.
How do they identify the enemy?
Do they really know or care who they kill?

I wish that people would understand that the liberal media is putting a spin on the situation, so that it makes the Administration look bad and falls more in line with the media's views. Of course our troops aren't just going around killing anybody who "looks" Arab. To suggest such a thing is quite frankly, embarrassing. Our men are dying, because that is what the insurgents are doing to them. Please do some research on the topic. Real research, not TV.

To me I know that the President knows why we're fighting in Iraq. I feel that we need to stop because it is getting out of hand. It's so confusing that we don't know why we're fighting.

We only attack when attacked. We have a very strict "Rules of Engagement" that puts us at higher risk, but also ensures that innocent civilans are not injured.
It's not perfect and the media relishes that.
We have rules of warfare that we are required to follow and an enemy that has no rules or human decency.

"How do they identify the enemy?"
You've zeroed in on a big problem the military is having.
Terrorists hide among civilians. They don't wear uniforms (unless it is Iraqi military police uniforms which they stole). Thus the US military, in order to avoid civilian casualties, DOES NOT in fact randomly attack "anybody who looks Arab."
If it DID, there would be less people planting road side bombs and, ironically, less people dead.

Honey the one who has the gun, and it is pointed at our men, then you know. you know who the enemy is..Saddam Hussains followers are trying to get revenge on America, and it's a battle that they are losing. It will be much worse when saddam is hung. What else can i say?

Wow, you sound anti- American with your comment, making our US soldiers sound like Barbaric killers.... Our soldiers arent the ones who are driving suicide bombs into buildings or crowds of people for the sake of killing, they are defending themselves, as well as the US...... Go to school, and learn about the whole concept as to why we are over there, its been going on long enough...... Why dont you go over there & live, you talk like it would suit you.......

Basically they cant engage until they have already been fired at. Where are you getting your information?
