Iraq guerrillas down US chopper, at least 13 dead
    #2064342 - 11/02/03 04:28 AM (19 years, 4 months ago)

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/031102/325/ect49.html

---------------------------------------------
BAISA, Iraq (Reuters) - Guerrillas have shot down a U.S. transport helicopter near Baghdad carrying troops on a recreation break, killing at least 13 in the bloodiest attack on U.S. occupiers since Saddam Hussein was overthrown.

The crippled Chinook came down in farmland near the village of Baisa, south of Falluja, a stronghold of anti-U.S. resistance 50 km (30 miles) west of Baghdad.

"Currently 13 soldiers are KIA (killed in action) and some 20 wounded," a U.S. Army spokesman told Reuters on Sunday.

U.S. military helicopters circled above. Other helicopters and U.S. Humvee vehicles were parked around the wreckage.

A U.S. spokesman said two Chinooks had been heading for Baghdad airport with troops on a rest and recreation break. He said the downed helicopter, carrying 30 people including five crew, had been "shot down by an unknown weapon".

A witness in Falluja, Dawoud Suleiman, said: "There were two American helicopters. They fired a missile at one and missed, and then they hit the other, which crashed and caught fire."

Some Iraqis were jubilant. "The Americans are pigs. We will hold a celebration because this helicopter went down -- a big celebration," said wheat farmer Saadoun Jaralla near the crash site. "The Americans are enemies of mankind."

U.S. troops told journalists to leave the area and confiscated their film as another military medical helicopter with a red cross sign on its side landed, sending up clouds of dust from the dry scrubland.

It was the third time guerrillas had brought down a U.S. military helicopter since U.S. President George W. Bush declared major combat over in Iraq on May 1.

Bush himself had vowed on Saturday to stand firm and said leaving Iraq prematurely would strengthen the "terrorists" who he blamed for recent deadly suicide attacks.

DANCING ON THE WRECKAGE

In Falluja, residents said a roadside bomb had hit a convoy of U.S. soldiers in civilian vehicles. At least one vehicle was ablaze at the scene, where crowds gathered to celebrate and shout anti-U.S. slogans. Television pictures showed a gleeful youth wearing a U.S. Army helmet. Others danced on wreckage.

Before the helicopter attack, 123 U.S. soldiers had died in hostilities in Iraq in the past six months, including one killed by an overnight roadside bomb blast in Baghdad and two killed by a bomb in the northern city of Mosul the day before.

In Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, residents said a roadside bomb had exploded as a U.S. convoy passed, hitting a bus carrying university students and wounding two women.

Several of Iraq's neighbours were holding security talks in Damascus over the weekend, mindful of recent American assertions that Syria and Iran are not doing enough to prevent foreign militants crossing into Iraq.

But Iraq's interim foreign minister, Hoshiyar Zebari, said he would not accept a belated invitation to attend.

Officials at his ministry said Syria had been reluctant to invite him because of misgivings about being seen to recognise Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government.

"It's impossible for us to make it, and that was their intention," Zebari told Reuters on Sunday. "We don't even know what the agenda is."

U.S. troops and Iraqi police had tightened security in Baghdad and other cities over the weekend in response to rumours that guerrillas planned another series of bombings.

Many fearful parents kept their children out of schools in the capital for the second day in a row, and some of the pupils who did show up for class seemed terrified.

Outside the Baghdad Middle School for Girls, one of three armed guards said some pupils had wept when dropped off by their parents. The deputy headmistress, who declined to give her name, said only about a fifth of her 750 pupils had turned up.

"They're staying away because they're afraid of explosions. We've tried to assure parents that it's safe," she said.

The rumours followed suicide bombings against the Red Cross and three police stations on Monday, which killed at least 35 people and prompted the United Nations and other aid agencies to withdraw more foreign staff and review their operations in Iraq.

Think we're up to 33 attacks a day now. Double the number that were occuring in July. This is shaping up nicely into another Vietnam.

That's what it looks like now; unfortunately i doubt that it will teach us the same social lesson that Viet Nam did. The Bush govt is much more beligerant (as is the mainstream population) than LBJ and Nixon; and in fact the agressive seizure of mideast oil might be a matter or national survival (Interesting how their "swing case" pins the crisis right around the Mayan End Date).

I dont know why i dont just get a match and set the whole global reserve on fire. Then there would be no more need for killing (and no more napalm either)...It really is the root of all evil.

There's a new book out called "The faith of George Bush" in which it quotes Bush as saying God tells him what to do. And that he also prays with Blair.

Must be the most terrifying thing I've read in a while.

there have so far been 379 american soldiers killed in 7 and a half months of combat.

379 / 7.5 = 50 soldiers killed per month in iraq.


in vietnam, there were 58,169 american soldiers killed in 10 years.

58,189 / 120 = 485 soldiers killed per month in vietnam.


the average number of US soldiers killed per month in iraq has been 50. in vietnam, it was 485, almost ten times as many. the total number of US soldiers killed in the 10 years of fighting in vietnam is 153 times as many as the total killed so far in iraq.

And how many american soldiers were killed in the first 6 months after America became involved in Vietnam? Try and compare like with like.

Also don't forget there were many hundreds of thousands more americans in Vietnam than there are in Iraq right now.

More needs to be done to protect both coalition troops and Iraqi civilians, perhaps we (UK) should consider sending in more troops and try to get more middle eastern involvement in the re-construction effort...

alot less.

america's involvement in vietnam did not begin with a massive, intense, immediately victorious assault, like it did in iraq. it began with first with military advisors, then a few troops to help the south vietnamese forces, than a whole bunch of troops to fight the war for them.

US involvement in vietnam grew slowly over a period of time, while american troop levels in the middle east have decreased since the start of the war.

there was a large, organized, focused, and determined resistance to US troops in vietnam; 1,100,000 communist fighters are estimated to have been killed in total. in 1967, the estimated troop strength of the NVA was at 300,000. as early as 1961, the viet cong had 25,000 men.

the situation in iraq is entirely different. the level of resistance is nowhere close, and will never be, as high as it was in vietnam.

in vietnam, they were fighting the organized armed forces of a sovereign nation, veterans of their recent victory against french colonial rule.

the resistance in iraq is nothing of the sort.

Try and compare like with like.

that's precisely my point. the two are different beyond comparison.

Also don't forget there were many hundreds of thousands more americans in Vietnam than there are in Iraq right now.

yes. there were, and that isn't going to change.

Sure, the casualties may not be as high at the moment but it's clear we're in for a long guerilla war with resistance increasing all the time.

Just give em a little more time, the iraqis are making great progress. And this is unorganized. Wait till they get organized.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/870749.asp?vts=110220030725
15 in the chinook
4 in Fallujah
1 in baghdad
3 or 4 in Abu Gahrib
23 or 24 today....

If the average was 485 a month in vietnam, 16.167 a day, then it looks like today was a worse day then the average day there, eh? And it isnt over yet, not to mention the fact that they will not report the soldiers that died after evac.




More then 15 ended up dying, they just wont report on the deaths that happened after they left the scene. It is ridiculous.

Bring em on, eh?

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

They are fighting a guerrilla war, are they not?

I'd say the attacks they have been able to engineer in the last week are definately progress on those terms, GREAT, being alot, big, large, you are welcome to go to dictionary.com and look it up. Compared to getting mowed down by our military. They are definately greatly progressing in their tactics.

Im sure you'd like to argue with that, but the number of attacks and number of casualties wont let you get too far.

Threatening someone's personal information on a drug related board such as the shroomery is serious narc like pussy behavior.  Good luck in your efforts though, Ive always been extremely careful about my involvement in this place and used proxies, a fake, yet consistant "real" name.  I wouldnt hold my breath until you uncover any shred of personal information about me.  Im not idiotic, unlike the threats you made.

You said "Great progress" in relation to Americans being killed by the Iraqi's. The IRaqi's are the people you said are making "great progress". what, praytell, the fuck could you have meant other than you support killing US servicemen?

it sure sounded like you were happy about the 'progress' of the iraqi resistance... if you aren't i suppose i'm glad we got that misconception cleared up.

I'd say the attacks they have been able to engineer in the last week are definately progress on those terms, GREAT, being alot, big, large, you are welcome to go to dictionary.com and look it up. Compared to getting mowed down by our military. They are definately greatly progressing in their tactics.

their tactics are pretty much the same as they have been for a while. they aren't evolving, or becoming more organized or better equipped... they've been shooting RPG's at shit since the very beginning. having a guy with good aim take out a helicopter is no sign of any progress on the part of the resistance. it represents a well-placed RPG round, nothing else.

where did you find details on the particular tactics used by iraqi resistance fighters that lead you to believe they are becoming more organized, or better equipped, or trained, or just "making progress" in general?

Even if they are not spectacular tactics, they are good enough to cause a consistent ammount of casualties. If America is going to solve this problem by trying to kill every resistance fighter, they are not going to get far because there are many more who will take their place.

My new goal in life is to find out every drop of personal information about you that I can, and post it in as many chat rooms / bulletin boards as I can. Enjoy having me as an enemy.

I think you've reached a new low, I'll have to take down my picture of JohnnyRespect from above my computer and replace it with yours.

By the way, perhaps you might want to criticise your own Special Forces troops too if you're feeling so vitriolic about these kind of things (from an interview with Robert Fisk):

But as I was waiting hour after hour for the planes to take off, mortars started landing at the airport. Five in all. And I was actually chatting to a group of special forces, Americans, with their black webbing with lots and lots of radios and telephones and weapons. And they were actually-- as special forces tend to-being quite appreciative of their enemy. They were saying: Not bad. They're getting better. They're getting better. In other words, they were aiming their mortars to land closer to the actual runway of the airport.


--------------------
The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame".
:tongue:

In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience.

And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him.

"Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

Being appreciative of an enemies ability, and applauding their actions that kill Americans ,are two very different things.

I said the WERENT organized.. reread things before you blatently lie about what words you attribute to me.
I said: "And this is unorganized. Wait till they get organized."

Im not going to waste alot of time on this since the articles to answer all of the questions you posed that I had said are out there, Im not wasting my time. Ive done my research.

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/7159770.htm

The intelligence officials, who all spoke on the condition of anonymity because intelligence assessments are classified, said they have no evidence that the attacks are centrally directed. They said many of the attacks appear to be carried out independently by small groups using improvised explosive devices, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms.

But they said the groups have begun to lend what one official called "some significant support" to one another:

_ Local Iraqis, the officials said, are providing near real-time intelligence by watching U.S. troop movements, roads and defenses, as an August 18 U.S. Army War College study reported the Iraqis did as American forces drove toward Baghdad in March and April.

"Scouts in civilian clothes reconnoitered U.S. positions continuously; reported via cell/satellite phones, landlines, couriers," the War College study said. The study also reported that U.S. Marines in the southern city of Nasiriyah captured a "detailed, accurate sandtable of U.S. positions."

Intelligence officials also worry that hostile Iraqis may have penetrated some coalition civilian and military operations, housing compounds and other areas, much as members of the Viet Cong simultaneously worked for and spied on the United States, the South Vietnamese government and some news organizations during the Vietnam War.


"You never know who you might have working for you, and some of these people, I'm not sure they are who they say they are," said one senior coalition military official in Baghdad.


Holdouts from Saddam's military, irregular forces, intelligence service and secret police provide vehicles, munitions, military expertise, especially in making and detonating explosives, and what one official called "some higher level understanding of our equipment and tactics based on the `91 (Persian Gulf) war and the technical help they got over the years from the Soviet Union."


Members of the militant Kurdish Islamic group Ansar al Islam who survived U.S. and Kurdish attacks on their sanctuary in northern Iraq earlier this year, the officials said, provide a network of safe houses in the Baghdad area. Saddam's government tolerated the terrorist group's presence because Ansar's main enemy was Saddam's Kurdish opponents in northern Iraq, who are cooperating with the United States.

"Maybe some people (in the administration) overstated the ties between Saddam and Ansar, and between Ansar and al-Qaida," said one official. "But everybody knew everybody else, and that may have made it easier for them to find one another and cooperate now."


Fresh Islamic recruits from Syria, Jordan, Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, Algeria and even Albania, one official said, provide "a willingness to carry out suicide missions" as well as "some limited training with rudimentary weapons and tactics. A lot of what we seem to be seeing aren't hardcore mujahedeen from the Afghan war (against Soviet occupation) or senior al-Qaida, but new recruits who want their turn."

"Each of these groups by itself would be less of a problem," said another official. "But by cooperating, they've been able to watch us more closely and adapt faster to what we're doing. As a result, this is going to take some time, even if we avoid making the kind of mistakes that (anger) more people and drive them into the enemy camp."

Want some more? Okay.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1076100,00.html -A good article in it's entirety, but here is a snippet.

"'These groups are separate, but work together more and more as the various leaders are contacting each other. Most people are not doing it because of Saddam, but for religious or nationalist reasons. Some are criminals, who under other circumstances few people would have anything to do with. Some are paid, but not many.'

He suggested that last Sunday's rocket attack on the Al Rashid Hotel showed a level of sophistication that was new for the resistance. An underground cell working with staff at the hotel, which was once virtually run by the Iraqi secret service, watched the arrival of guests while street cleaners worked with an underground cell to position the rocket launcher.

That, whether you realize it or not, is how you come across.

The majority of people here don't have any problems with America itself, rather the Bush Administration.

Of course, ya gotta stand by him luvdem - thick or thin, 'coz he was the 'best of choices'.  :loveeyes:    :heartpump:

Wow, you love to use statements and spin them dontcha?

You should go volunteer to be on Bush's press team.

Like Ive said before I could give a fuck about what biased war mongers think I am. I know what I am. I know how much time Ive spent trying to get these men and women out of harms way, I know how many care packages Ive sent to soldiers, sailors and marines.

Sit here on an internet forum, doing nothing for your country and keep on claiming I hate it.

I love America and we are going to take it back from people like you.

How the hell did you get off of my ignore, anyway. I should fix that.

I've criticized him here frequently. You must have been sleeping.

Frankly I'm surprised you would mistake correcting incorrect information as support for a non-conservative conservative.


Edit: Yup. That's why I voted for him. To do what's best for this country. If you wish to keep using that as an insult.... feel free.

Not a chance. As I've said before many times I voted for him simply because he was the best of bad choices and as such likely to do less harm than Gore. I stand by that.

I don't think so. I think people are waking up and realizing that liberal bullshit is what has us fucked up. I don't think you'll see a Democrat president or majority in congress or the senate for a long time.


In the mean time, chill out. Or at least make it sound as if you have.

Good for you - you criticised Bush; I haven't heard much from you why he's the better of choices (I don't doubt that you have attempted to make a point of this either in the past), but frankly the 'better of choices' sounds as played out as "We were on a Break", as Ross would say. :wink:

I don't care how it sounds to you.

Given a choice beteween two candidates (and realistically, two is all there were), I was forced to vote for the one I felt would do the least harm. I thought long and hard about it.

Frankly for you to attempt to use it as an insult is childish.

you say:

I said the WERENT organized.. reread things before you blatently lie about what words you attribute to me.

... and you then go on to make a post detailing how they're becoming more organized in their efforts. as little sense as that makes, let us continue.

in response to your statement: chill. here's what i said:

where did you find details on the particular tactics used by iraqi resistance fighters that lead you to believe they are becoming more organized, or better equipped, or trained, or just "making progress" in general?

now... see how i used the word "or"?

those are my words, not yours. see how only "making progress" is in quotations? you didn't say anything about equipment or training either... i was just asking how you think they're making progress... the words 'organized', 'equipped', and 'trained' are only suggestions. i never said that you ever said that they were becoming any of those things.... but i do have to wonder what kind of 'progress' would not the direct result of at least one of those things.

pray tell, what kind of progress are they making, and what is causing it?

I realize I shouldn't make assumptions, but based on your posts, it's hard for me to picture you giving Al Gore any serious consideration. I mean, maybe you listened to what he had to say, as I did with Bush, but I can't see you ever actually considering voting for him. But if you say you did, I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

The only two currently runnings Dems I have ZERO respect for are Braun & Sharpton.

I don't rule anyone out. In Gores case I've been paying attention to him for years. I love politics. I follow as much as possible. Had Gore not been a jackass, who knows.

I have to say, I understand why someone would've voted for Bush in that election, because as a candidate he seemed a lot different than what he's turned out to be. When I voted for Gore, I figured it wouldn't matter too much if Bush won, cuz they both seemed pretty moderate. In retrospect, however, I'm really glad I voted the way I did, because I couldn't live with myself knowing that I put the current asshole into power.

Oh yeah, as for military deaths during vietnam:
1956-1960 9
1961 16
1962 52
1963 118
1964 206
Total 401

1964 is when the Gulf of Tonkin resolution was signed and troops began to be deployed. But we wont even count any of the above.

In 1965,
1,863 men and women died, averaging out to 5.10 per day, 200K were deployed that year.

So at 433 (that statistic you used about vietnam deaths includes non- americans) deaths in 227 days that averages to 1.01a day

vietnam had 2.67 more deaths, which isnt surprising considering the fact that technology was not as advanced as it is today and we were fighting a different kind of war.

This war isnt shaping up to be that much different, technology should be affording us this very small leg up, after all, we spent billions of dollars shocking and awe-ing.

They are becoming more organized. THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY ORGANIZED. How hard is this to understand?

There were many other points in that post that answer the question you asked about training, being better equipped and becoming organized. Read it. I even bolded some of it for you, just incase you had reading comprehension problems. See, how I gave you answers to everything you said? See how you said "lead you to believe" as if you think you know what I believe even though I said none of the things you inferred?

Im not excited, dont give yerself too much credit. Im more dumbfounded by people like yourself. I use caps to be as monosyllabic and to the point as possible. I bold things to make sure you dont miss them, but that obviously didnt work. I dont make nice, I say my opinons, bluntly, Im not sugarcoating them for anyone or worrying about what context someone like you would take them in.

Thanks for the midol. Here's a gift for you, all ready and waiting. Go volunteer to serve and kill you some iraqis.

Or...Have a bang up time with it. That would make me really gleeful.

it was a very simple request. since psilokitten has decided to ignore me, can someone else help me out?

what words do you think she's thinking i put in her mouth?

i sure can't find them....

seriously, i'd really like to know.

i suppose that because she's done nothing to qualify her accusations and her response to my question prompted her to place her hands over her ears.... "LALALALALALA"... we'll never know for sure...

ignoring people you disagree with is certainly a good way to assert your closed-mindedness while at the same time saving your ego from the trouble of having to actually question your beliefs...

i do hope psilokitten's visits here will be easier on her now.

lets get back to the main issue here which is the fact that iraqi guerilla forces are becoming more and more successful with their tactics as each day passes, and the fact that the fighting keeps intensifying, american troops are dying, and there is no visible end to the occupation on the horizon. All the bitching and name calling isn't going to change the fact that 13 americans died in that chopper fighting for a cause that wasn't even legitimate in the first place.

... and you then go on to make a post detailing how they're becoming more organized in their efforts. as little sense as that makes, let us continue.

Oh come on mush, you don't think that multiple rocket attack on 4 police stations and Wolfowitz's hotel all on the same day suggests they're getting more organised?

and applauding their actions that kill Americans ,are two very different things

Are we through the looking glass here or what? Let me remind you that it was right-wing arseholes who took us into this war in the first place. Any blood is on THEIR hands.

Lets put this simply: The action responsible for killing americans was INVADING IRAQ. You and others like you who support the war are responsible for their deaths.

Wrong, im not going to speak for others here, I supported the decision to go to war I did not make it. Surely you can see the difference.

Take the first statement with a pinch of salt, I know someone won't but if you would like me to give a detailed explaination then feel free to pm, I don't fancy reading tons of posts filled with angst-driven nonsense nor do I desire to fill this thread with meaningless rants.

And btw, why was Lysergic banned?, his actions are usually in retalliation to provacation and are jst more heated versions of the usual bs on here....

Give it a rest stoned. Bush was in power during the first Gulf war in case you've forgotten. He deliberately allowed Saddam to abuse the no-fly zone in order to put down rebellions. He considered a weak Saddam better than a fundamentalist government.

I supported the decision to go to war I did not make it. Surely you can see the difference.

Could you tell us what is the difference? Sounds like the old Nazi "I was only following orders. It was not my decision to kill the jews..."

i think they very well may. it shows at least some level of cooperation on the part of some of the guerrillas.

what happened there was that psilokitten accused me of "blatantly lying" about what she said... my best guess is that it was because she thought i implied that she said the iraqis were becoming more organized, something she claims she did not agree with. then in same post, she goes on asserting that very same thing, completely contradicting herself.

so:

1. i didn't put any words in her mouth, or say she said anything she didn't.
2. the thing she's saying i "blatantly lied" about her saying is something she appears to agree with anyway.

very strange.

I'm not going to explain the difference between supporting and making a decision ( try looking up "decide" and "support", just to give a little help).
I'm sure your trusty Oxford English Dictionary will help clarify for you. As for your constant references to Nazi Germany, the above I do not even consider an analogy as they bear no similarity whatsoever.

If it wasn't for the hesitancy of the allied powers during the early 30's and their reluctance to enforce the Treaty of Versailles then Germany would not have been able to re-arm, thus WWII would have been prevented.

So you see it is irresolution that is the main evil in this world...

Isn't it fun taking things and completely out of context and not even making a point?

12 years of sanctions and a million dead is "pandering"? Yes, you need to say an awful lot more.

And if you want pandering look at what Reagan and Bush did for Saddam during the 80's. 

I'm not going to explain the difference between supporting and making a decision

Are you for the invasion of Iraq or not? Why sit on the fence?

Oh wow, prepared to get flamed and then someone can come infer you were saying like 5 other things then what you said like... What leads you to believe that Iraqis are satan? What leads you to believe that they will be dancing a jig opposed to the tango? What leads you to believe they will not have the heads of iraqi babies at their party so they can suck the brains out of them? What leads you to believe that that was the purpose of their party? What if it's a Happy Ramadan party?

And so on and so forth. And you will say.. I wasnt "lead to believe" any of the shit you just said, you inferred it. And then, they wont read your words.. so, you'll have to send them a link to dictionary.com which they wont understand.

You will said, I said THIS SPECIFIC THING... and you will reference it over and over in big bold letters. But alas, their bias will still allow then to see nothing but what they wish.

It's a blast.

What happened to the flowers thrown at their feet and the little girls running to give the soldiers kisses?

Iraqi Villagers Celebrate U.S. Helicopter Hit
Mon Nov 3, 8:50 AM ET

By Michael Georgy

BAISA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqis in the village of Baisa say they couldn't have asked for a better present during Ramadan -- a U.S. helicopter shot down in their fields.

"We usually celebrate Ramadan at the end of the month. Now we are celebrating in the beginning after these infidel Americans were shot down," taxi driver Abdullah Hissein said.

As more U.S. helicopters patrolled over this typical Iraqi farming village on Monday, he said: "Now we want to take them down as well."

Fifteen American soldiers were killed on Sunday when a missile struck their Chinook helicopter -- the bloodiest single strike on U.S. troops since the fall of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in April.

Anger has been boiling up in Baisa, located in Iraq (news - web sites)'s Sunni Muslim heartland from where Saddam drew much of his support, in the weeks leading up to the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Iraqis said U.S. troops, who often come under attack from roadside bombs or rocket-propelled grenades in the nearby town of Falluja, had swept through the village hunting guerrillas.

People who failed to provide information on fighters were arrested after U.S. troops conducted aggressive searches, several villagers said.

"I know of several people who were arrested, including the local cleric and his family," farmer Kareem Mansour said.

"They put sacks over people's heads and took them away."

HOSTILE CHILDREN

U.S. officials have repeatedly blamed fighters loyal to Saddam and Muslim militants who cross the border from neighboring countries for attacks that have killed at least 136 American troops since President Bush (news - web sites) declared major combat over on May 1.

A few Baisa residents said they knew of a Syrian man who trained guerrillas. Others said Saddam's supporters were behind the violence.

They said U.S. troops made even more enemies on Sunday night.

"They just shoot at anything. They heard a noise and then they shot at one of our cows. When we stood on the roof and shone a light, they shot the lamp," said Hussein Issawi, a customs official.

Residents said U.S. troops tried to win over children with candy. But it didn't work.

"The children took the sweets and fooled the Americans," said Maher Abbas, a farmer.

Mansour said: "We hate the Americans. Even our young children pick up rocks and throw them when they see helicopters."

Barefoot Iraqi boys standing by as about 40 U.S. Humvees and trucks drove by to secure the perimeter around the crash site said they wanted to attack American soldiers.

"We don't want the Americans," said 11-year-old Abdullah Wahab. "I want to hit their planes."

The majority still wants the troops there. Children learn from their parents so an 11 year old stating they want the troops gone means shit.

Add in the dog bites man vs man bites dog factor and your article needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Nah luv, you can't run guerilla wars on this scale without large scale support or at least tolerance of the guerillas by the civilian population. Most Iraqi's don't have any illusions about Bush bringing them "freedom" and are sensibly preparing for the day the americans leave.

I disagree. Both about the "scale", which I think is nowhere near as bad as some here wish to believe, and whether or not "large scale support or at least tolerance of the guerillas by the civilian population" is needed.

As for the latter, only time will tell.

4 rocket attacks on a police station and another on Wolfowitz hotel in the capital city on the same day? Even the IRA never managed anything on that massive a scale.

Really luv, if you were an Iraqi would you really go running to the americans to inform on people? What do you think is going to happen to you when Bush decides he's had enough?

Sounds like you know as much about the IRA as you do about a wide array of topics.

If they had been able to launch 4 rockets in London they would have. They could only manage one rocket attack on one day on Downing street.

Or do you think the Irish are too stupid?

It's nothing to do with being stupid. It's to do with the logistics of launching multiple rocket attacks on the same day in a capital city.

Right. There is nothing that difficult about it. Send off four groups with a small portable launcher and set them off. I imagine even you could organize a half dozen. I know I could.

Its not just a question of simple logistics. Its also a question of evading detection by the security services. If you increase the amount of attacks four fold you increase the likelihood of getting caught by at least that amount, probabaly more.

Manage? Bull.

Where are you getting your info from luv? Are you just making it up as you go along as usual? Why do you think they wouldn't launch 4 rocket attacks on London?

Right. There is nothing that difficult about it.

Don't ever think about starting a terrorist group luv, you wouldn't last 2 minutes.

You'd have to ask them. They had the means and the ability.
