Object: 'Sensitivity training' for U.S. troops in Iraq
Sensitivity training? Has the American military gone completely mad? Take
any Iraqi that is caught attempting to commit an act of violence against
American or Allied personnel and shove a hot poker right up into his/her
*****. It's time they made the effort to understand us and our culture.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52247
American soldiers being taught this month to 'understand Ramadan, Islamic
culture'
While many U.S. troops in Iraq are bracing for an increase in terrorist
attacks coinciding with the Islamic holy month, other soldiers, including
officers, are cringing at new requirements that include "sensitivity
classes" on how to "understand Ramadan and the Islamic culture," reports
Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
"I am disturbed by a trend here that is occurring as we serve here in Iraq,"
one Army major told the premium online intelligence newsletter edited by the
founder of WND. "I am a Christian and so are most soldiers here, as they
would probably identify with that religion if not practice it."
He tells the story of one of his men, performing the duty of guarding
civilian Iraqis working on a U.S. military base. When it was time for lunch,
the soldier was told he could not eat because the Army wanted to be
sensitive to the fasting Iraqis.
"I understand the concept," said the officer. "But isn't that forcing us to
learn about Islam and even practice its principles? Who cares if Muslims
want to fast. We don't force a guy not to eat. This is the equivalent of
forcing our soldiers to practice Ramadan fasting."
There has been no fast from terrorist violence in Iraq this Ramadan.
The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell,
reports a significant spike in violence in and around Baghdad beginning with
the onset of Ramadan last Monday. Suicide attacks, he said, are at their
highest levels. Murders and executions are currently the No. 1 cause of
civilian deaths in Baghdad, and operations against sectarian death squads
have been stepped up, the general reported.
The bodies of 40 men who were shot and had their hands and feet bound have
been found in the capital just before the weekend. All the victims showed
signs of torture, police Lt. Thayer Mahmoud said. They were dumped in
several neighborhoods in both eastern and western Baghdad.
On the first day of Ramadan last year, a Sunni Muslim suicide bomber blew up
a Shiite mosque in Hilla, Iraq, in the middle of a memorial service, killing
25 worshippers. This year, on the first day of Ramadan, a Sunni suicide
bomber in Baghdad killed 35 people who were lining up in a Shiite
neighborhood to buy fuel. The same day, the severed heads of nine murdered
Iraqi police officers and soldiers were found north of Baghdad.
"I don't know how sensitivity training of U.S. troops is going to solve the
real problems facing this country," said one Army veteran of two tours of
Iraq.

Wow. Some Christian values you've got there, Young. Anal rape.
Fascinating.

George W. Bush has made the terrorists stronger, their influence wider,
their numbers larger, and their motivation to attack the U.S. and other
western interests greater. He has repeatedly abused his authority and
violated his Oath of Office by turning his back on the United States
Constitution; thereby surrendering to the terrorists by undermining American
freedoms,values, and the very foundations of our system of government.
Supporting Bush is treason.

Hey, here's a great idea: Let's capture Abu Ghraib and use it as a

Well, the US seems to have taken advice from the Catholics up to this

It's probably cost us a trillion dollars all told to accomplish nothing
to speak of by the time we get out of there.

Well, Canada spends about $4,000 per person for their system. So that'd be
about the year's expenditures for 125 million people. The yearly average
of four years (given the new budget is for the fourth year of the war) is
about $125 billion which would cover about 31.25 million each year. Which
would cover about three-fourths of the uninsured folks out there.
Though in our current system, we spend about twice what Canada spends per
person and with the corporations lining up with their money buckets ready,
you'd probably only manage to insure half or a third as many...

would probably identify with that religion if not practice it."

He tells the story of one of his men, performing the duty of guarding
civilian Iraqis working on a U.S. military base. When it was time for lun=

ch,

the soldier was told he could not eat because the Army wanted to be
sensitive to the fasting Iraqis.

"I understand the concept," said the officer. "But isn't that forcing us =

to

learn about Islam and even practice its principles? Who cares if Muslims
want to fast. We don't force a guy not to eat. This is the equivalent of
forcing our soldiers to practice Ramadan fasting."

There has been no fast from terrorist violence in Iraq this Ramadan.

The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell,
reports a significant spike in violence in and around Baghdad beginning w=

ith

the onset of Ramadan last Monday. Suicide attacks, he said, are at their
highest levels. Murders and executions are currently the No. 1 cause of
civilian deaths in Baghdad, and operations against sectarian death squads
have been stepped up, the general reported.

The bodies of 40 men who were shot and had their hands and feet bound have
been found in the capital just before the weekend. All the victims showed
signs of torture, police Lt. Thayer Mahmoud said. They were dumped in
several neighborhoods in both eastern and western Baghdad.

On the first day of Ramadan last year, a Sunni Muslim suicide bomber blew=

up

a Shiite mosque in Hilla, Iraq, in the middle of a memorial service, kill=

ing

25 worshippers. This year, on the first day of Ramadan, a Sunni suicide
bomber in Baghdad killed 35 people who were lining up in a Shiite
neighborhood to buy fuel. The same day, the severed heads of nine murdered
Iraqi police officers and soldiers were found north of Baghdad.

"I don't know how sensitivity training of U.S. troops is going to solve t=

he

real problems facing this country," said one Army veteran of two tours of
Iraq.

aren't you one of the morons who keeps going on about how immigrants to
the US need to integrate with and speak the language of the resident
white folk?
Now you're saying the resident population of an invaded country also
have to integrate and fit in with the invading white folk. Personally
it's their country and they ar eunder enemy occupation and have every
right to conduct a war of resistance.
