WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S YER TIME TO YANK OFF... SchNEWS I'M AN
AMERICAN! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

"You, like me, know who the real heroes are: those brave service
men and women, yours and ours, who fought the war and risk their
lives still." --- Tony Blair to the US Congress, receiving a
Congressional Gold Medal for services to The Empire.

"US officials need to get our @***s out of here! I say that seriously.
We have no business being here... All we are here is potential
people to be killed and sitting ducks."

-- US reservist in Iraq with the 307th Military Police Company,
July 1.

Think back about six months. If you spent too much time back then
listening to politicians, you'd have been forgiven for thinking
that life was going to be pretty sweet for US and British troops
in Iraq once Saddam was out of the picture. Nothing much to do,
just driving around in a jeep, waiting for grateful Iraqis to run
up and thank you for liberating them. Well, it's nearly three months
now since Dubya decided the war was over, and the story that US
troops are telling is a little different.

"What are we getting into here?" a Sergeant from the 4th Infantry
Division asked the Washington Post last month. "The war is supposed
to be over, but every day we hear of another soldier getting killed!
Saddam isn't in power anymore. The locals want us to leave. Why are
we still here?" It seems the occupying forces aren't as popular as
they were told they would be. "Little kids wave at us and their
parents slap them in the back of the head and make them stop," one
soldier told Associated Press. "It makes me feel like I wasted my
time over here and they dont appreciate what we did!"

But maybe it's not so much that they don't appreciate it, as that
they can't forget it. Some soldiers can't. Here's how one Sgt.
Meadows describes his combat duty: "For me, it's like snapshot
photos. Like pictures of maggots on tongues, babies with their heads
on the ground, men with their heads halfway off and their eyes wide
open and mouths wide open. I see it every day, every single day.
The smells and the torsos burning, the entire route up to Baghdad,

>from 20 March to 7 April, nothing but burned bodies."

And as the occupation drags on, many are getting increasingly
desperate to get out: "At night time you think about all the people
you killed," one Corporal told the Evening Standard. "It just never
gets off your head! There's no chance to forget it. We're still
here. We've been here so long."  "Most soldiers would empty their
bank accounts just for a plane ticket home," wrote another soldier
in an anonymous letter to Congress.

It's no wonder they want to go home. They were told that they were
there to get rid of Saddam and his Weapons of Mass Destruction. But
it's three months since Saddam legged it, there's not a WMD in
sight, yet there's still 155,000 occupation troops in the country,
and their commanders expect them to be there for the foreseeable
future. They were told they would be welcomed as liberators; instead
they've got angry demos and grenade attacks.

44 US troops and 6 Brits have been killed in ambushes since the war
"finished" and attacks are increasing. So far this week there's
been an average of two troops killed a day.

It's harder to say how many Iraqis have been killed since the
occupation began because (surprisingly enough) the occupying forces
are less interested in keeping those records. But they're being
killed daily. Two men were killed in Baghdad today when troops
opened fire on their car after they drove too close to an American
checkpoint. Even after the Falluja massacre in May (when US troops
used automatic weapons to break up a "boisterous but peaceful" demo,
killing 15 and wounding 75), there are still reports of troops using
live ammo against demonstrators.  2 stone-throwers were shot dead
during a demo outside US HQ in Baghdad on June 18. And in late June
US 3rd Infantry forces began Israel-style "punitive demolitions"
of the family homes of people thought to be involved in armed
resistance.

Yesterday Amnesty International published a report accusing the
occupying forces of a string of human rights abuses against Iraqi
civilians, including murder, torture, detention without trial, and
inhumane treatment of prisoners. The report highlighted the case
of one 12-year-old boy who was shot on June 26 by US soldiers
conducting house-to-house searches whilst he was making his bed.
When neighbours tried to rush the boy to hospital they were stopped
by US troops. "The soldiers forced the neighbours to the ground,
and after 15 minutes ordered them to return home because the curfew
had started. [The boy] was already dead." Hard to understand why
Iraqis don't want them around, isn't it?

Unlike some troops, Iraqis know that the US didn't come looking for
WMDs.

And they know that the US isn't about to go until it's got control
of the oil reserves, got a new base in the Middle East, and opened
up Iraq to foreign investment. But plans for a quick in-and-out
invasion have gone badly wrong. As journalist Maria Tomchick puts
it, according to the original war plan, the Pentagon "expected the
Iraqi military to refuse to fight, to depose Saddam in a coup, and
to maintain control of the security situation in Iraq so US troops
could waltz into Baghdad and set up a new government."

In other words, Iraqis were going to be kept in line by the same
bastards who've been calling the shots for the past 30 years. But
when war began Baath party officials all over the country legged
it, went into hiding, or were killed by local residents who hated
the regime. And the US/UK were left to do their own dirty work.

The US can't just leg it out of Iraq like it did when it fucked up
in Afghanistan. There's too much at stake. George, Tony & Co. are
going to keep this one going for as long as they can. But as one
Iraqi exile warned last month "Some have claimed it is in the
interest of the US to stabilise the region and create opportunities
for US investment and reliable oil supplies.

[This] rosy scenario failed to take account of the views of the
Iraqi people and the history of their struggles for freedom. The
dawning of this reality on the US administration helps to explain
why the occupation forces are increasingly resorting to terror
tactics to subdue the Iraqi people."

*Whilst US troops are wishing they could get out of Iraq, US
corporations are queuing up to get in. The Corporate Invasion of
Iraq, http://www.occupationwatch.org/article.php?id=73, gives a
detailed run down of who gets what. SchNEWS favourites include
Cheney-backed Halliburton, and building firm Fluor Corporation,
which allegedly hired security guards dressed in KKK robes to
terrorise black workers when they were contracting in apartheid
South Africa.

is facing a 2-year sentence for refusing to fight.  For info, or

WTF was this twat doing in the army in the first place. you join the army

to play golf I suppose, no sad but true YOU KILL PEOPLE. YOU GET PAID TO
KILL DEFEND ATTACK BEFORE THEY ATTACK YOU. Muslim states are the enemies of
the free democratic world that poison and force opinions on weak nations and
subjects. if the west is to survive future more terrifying events like 9/11
take heed and strike while the iron is hot and smite your enemies lest they
smite you. you cant talk with these people there is no reasoning, or
bargaining with them. they take from the community and don't contribute.
they are the cancer of civilisation. Quote "you educate these people, and
they will want what you've got" the difference here is, the west has earned
its right to civilisation and I think its disgraceful and tasteless of you
to moan in the freedom that you languish in bought at the expense of British
blood to have the right to state freely what you believe in these
newsgroups. I salute our British soldiers and bow in gratitude and
admiration to the US armed forces, both doing a tough and thankless job as
did the US Forces in Vietnam against the commies. maybe you should fuck off
to a commie country or Somalia or why not try china and try to spout shit
their and see where that gets you. you lot of conshies are nothing but
traitors that in my country the UK still by law still carries the death
penalty by firing squad, never used now differed to life in prison. all I
can say sir is you are a scumbag of the first degree who would not stand the
line if attacked but run like a feeble woman but be the first to seek
protection from those whom you've just dishonoured.

your apology even though your arrogance wont allow you to submit one is
accepted NOT! and if I had a glove and you were near me I would demand
satisfaction.
you sir are nothing but a malingering moaning reap  the benefits of the
society, give nothing back, bastard.
