Funny Iraqi Myths About Our Soldiers

[MonstaThrilla]

G.I.'s Have X-Ray Vision. Of Course.

Some highlights:

"With those glasses, he can definitely see through women's clothes," said the engineering student, Samer Hamid. "It makes me angry. We are afraid to take our families out on the street."

[...]

Some Iraqis say the soldiers take special pills that keep them cool, but the most common theory is that they have portable air-conditioners -- usually said to be inside the vests, but sometimes placed in the helmet or even the underwear.

"There is fluid circulating throughout the underwear," said Mr. Hamid, the engineering student. "I am not sure of the exact mechanism, but we all know the Americans have very sophisticated technology."

[...]

Other versions of the ugly-American stories have the soldiers drinking beer (or sometimes Kool-Aid laced with alcohol) inside their tanks near mosques. They have been accused in the Arab press of using pages from the Koran for toilet paper and of giving children candy packets containing pornography.

[...]

"I am not so sure about their sunglasses," she said. "But I know about the helmet. Inside each helmet is a map showing the soldier the location of every house in Iraq. My friends at school told me about it."

You find that funny? The people that are spreading those "myths" are spreading lies and misinformation to try and discredit the soliders. I would say that they are trying to spread hate amoung the people of Iraq against the US and its government and what they are trying to accomplish there.

They could take lessons from some of the posters on this board.

Yes you got me. I admit it. I secretly hate our brave and courageous troops and am just trying to push my own treasonous liberal agenda to destroy this country from within, just like Ann Coulter says.

Chill out.

Its an article that takes a look at the amusing and oddball myths that the Iraqis have developed. So I find the MYTHS THEMSELVES funny. Notice how I titled the thread "Funny Iraqi Myths About Our Soldiers". Not, "It's Funny that Iraqis are Trying to Kill Our Troops Every Day and the Cheap-Labor Conservatives Could Care Less".

I don't find the fact that our soldiers are even there in the first place to be funny. I don't find it funny that cheap-labor conservatives started this war for dubious reasons with little planning for the postwar occupation and now our soldiers are giving their lives for it. I don't find it funny that the cheap-labor conservatives are trying to pass off the occupation like its going fine.

Those sound like the same things conservatives believe about liberals.

Fvck you, don't tell me to "chill out" you ignorant little ass. Here you are spreading the lies of the enemy and you think they are 'funny'. There is a reason that certain Iraq's are spreading those lies and there is nothing funny about it.

But I am telling you to chill out.

They must have some pretty sophisticated AI....letting soldiers see through women's clothes, but not men's....

Yeah, very civilized......we wouldn't be their "enemy" if we didn't invade their country in their first place. You expect the whole country just come and kiss our butt after we pretty much destroyed their entire infrastructure? You and your warmonger administration are the one to blame for this fvcked up situation.

Right, because...any schoolboy would easily believe these "lies of the enemy."

Nice selective enforcement. How come you don't ask folks like Moonbeam to chill out when they start calling anyone who has conservative beliefs a Nazi? Bias much?

ur being lied to by your president every damn day - shut the hell up

 

[BOBDN]

Here is the reason Iraqis believe anything they are told about US soldiers. They are being murdered by US soldiers. For no reason at all other than American soldiers invaded their country based on the lies of the Bush administration.

No WMD, no terrorist connection, no Iraqi threat to the US.

They can't win with force they must try alternate means, it is the American way as well. I endorse free thinking, however I wish the populous of Iraq were of the mindset that free thought was an option as well.

You cannot define another person's (or nation's) free thought. If you do it is no longer free thought.

X-Man etech made an overtly personal flame outside the issue against the OP because he did not agree with him, that is a personal flame and is prohibited by the rules in this forum. The Nazi's were a political party with a particular indoctrination, to deny their existence by censoring comparisons to them would be to re-write history and be detrimental to development of the thought process. However saying f' you to someone who doesn't agree with your principles is in no way beneficial.
