Amazing! Who Knew our Troops In Iraq Are Psychic?
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 07:19 PM by leftchick
Some are also now on their third tours so I imagine there is a little fog in their heads going on....

"It's harder. Before, you could just shoot a tank round through someone's window," said Sgt. Jesse Zunke, a squad leader from Reno, Nev., comparing the insurgency in Haditha to the militants who once swaggered through Fallujah.

"Now it's just playing detective and meeting these people," Zunke said shortly before an explosion rippled through the city, the latest of dozens of roadside bombs to be discovered and detonated.

... and the psychic.....

"You can tell the Iraqis who are scared because we're here and those who are scared because they're bad," said 1st Lt. David Jackson of New York.

2. What an infantile statement by David Jackson.
Can he tell the difference between those who are angry because we're there and those who are angry because they're "bad"?

Anyway, it's been my experience that people who are really "bad" aren't scared of much of anything.

5. This means the Iraqis he kills were certainly the enemy
Because if they weren't the enemy he wouldn't have killed them.

We used to identify witches in a very similar way in America. If they burned up when tied to the stake and poured fire on them that meant they were witches.

Its really quite simple.

6. I thought it was
dunk them in water and if they float then they are a witch and should be killed---Maybe that was for to check conservatism....Hmm It's been so long since I've been to a good witch burning/dunking that I forget....
