Is it so darn hard to remember that almost five years ago it was the greatest military power in the world, the U.S., who invaded one of the weakest, most defenseless in the world, Iraq? Is it so hard to remember who invaded whom? And that we've killed, maimed, displaced millions of Iraqis and turned their sovereign nation into a shambles except of course, for the shining city on the hill, Bush's Green Zone, his imperial embassy, a symbol of Bush's uber alles control of all the Middle East. And don't forget those fantastic bases! The rest of the country is a Shock and Awe mess. Just our stuff works there, nothing else. Nice invaders aren't we? And all paid for by the U.S. citizen's, their lives, blood and treasure and Iraq's untold dead. No sweat off of the great Decider's brow! He probably hasn't missed a nap since the invasion began. (He gets tired about those bike rides)
What a shameless bunch of self-pitying, brain-washing propagandistic pap this article is!
I'm glad I'm canceling my subscription tomorrow.

Just don't forget, we're over there, invading and killing, looting and land grabbing, just remember that fact!

Does anyone expect the invaders to be welcomed with open arms. How dammed arrogant can this Bush Regime and Pentagon and now, the neo-con NYTimes get?
What a totally moronic article!
