With allies in enemy ranks, GIs in Iraq are no longer true believers
The salient part of the article comes right away.
"...on his third deployment in Iraq, he is no longer a believer in the mission. The pivotal moment came, he says, this past February when soldiers killed a man setting a roadside bomb. When they searched the bomber's body, they found identification showing him to be a sergeant in the Iraqi Army."
The point could not be clearer.
Here the troops are trying to bolster the fledgling Iraqi military, when that very same Iraqi military is haven to those insurgents that want to kill US troops.
The US planners and right wing elite that have corporate interests at stake in Iraq don't really care how many troops get killed as long as the US presence continues in Iraq.
