They are targeted mainly for not cooperating with the insurgency.
Insurgents control the population not the authorities.
In order to fight an insurgent war, the resistance fighters need to blend in with the population. Once they do that they plant bombs, snipers, remote control explosives, etc. and rarely fight toe to toe. The way they win is to bog down the invaders and wear them out, make them hate all the population and make thier reactions upset the population...
then they win.
Vietnam is a prime example of how this works.
Iraqis are 10x as efficient and learn faster about US tactics than most other insurgencies.
This is why we will lose in Iraq, why we already have lost.
bring the troops home before it gets worse.

enable's take this component by way of component. Oil: the government has exceeded out no-bid contracts to Halliburton and different American oil and oil infrastructure businesses, surely giving htem administration of Iraqi oil. WMD: The WMD centers we stumbled on confirmed important looting, making a terrorist strike with WMD plenty extra probable. the rationalization? No protection supplied for the internet sites by way of the protection rigidity. Why? The conflict grow to be no longer approximately WMD. I believe you that Afghanistan is in basic terms approximately a nonissue, different than to the Afghanis, who might resent having been bombed by way of the U. S.. Terrorism: You forget approximately that the extra who come, the extra US infantrymen die, the extra funds we spend, the extra grieving mum and dad, the extra existence lost typical. conflict with Iran and Syria may be a poor human tragedy probable exceeding the tragedy of the conflict in Iraq. it is a extraordinary component we bleeding heart liberals won't provide help to do this. So we are in Iraq to get carry of Oil and set up a conflict with Iran. To me, it rather is a enormous damn concern.

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but we have to get to the point where we're not finding bodies at all. The militias have to be disarmed and the Iranians (Hezbollah) who are stirring up the Shi'ites need to be exterminated.

Saddam killed thousands upon thousands of his own people.
I guess some people will just never grasp this very simple concept.
He wasn't hung because he didn't participate in a cake walk.

How do we know that those "insurgents" that the U.S. military kills aren't just citizens defending themselves?
