FALLUJAH, Iraq — Hundreds of Iraqis set alight U.S. and Israeli flags on Wednesday as they celebrated the impending pullout of American forces from the country in the former insurgent bastion of Fallujah. Shouting slogans in support of the “resistance,” the demonstrators held up banners and placards inscribed with phrases like, “Now we are free” and “Fallujah is the flame of the resistance.” Surrounded by the Iraqi army, demonstrators carried posters bearing photos of apparent insurgents, faces covered and carrying weapons. They also held up pictures of U.S. soldiers killed and military vehicles destroyed in the two major offensives against the city in 2004.

So unworthy of our blood & treasure. Let them all burn.

Never again.

Now it has a new meaning for me.

Never again do we shed a drop of American blood or a dollar of AMerican treasure for Muslims.

In Nov. 2004, we had to take Fallujah a SECOND time and lost 51 Marines doing it.

We should have given the Muzzies 24 hours to evacuate and then carpet bombed that nest of jihadis.

They could build New Fallujah next door to the craters.

I wish I had an Iraqi flag to burn in protest.

Hope they enjoy learning Farsi. F’em.

“Hundreds in Fallujah burn U.S. flag to celebrate troops pulling out of Iraq”

Fine!

When we leave and our money comes out with us, when their communities turn into free for all sh^% holes again, we'll remember this. They will revert to type and start murdering one another real quick.

I say, fine, we'll go and take our money with us. Bye!

As likely to succeed as a plan to domesticate sharks.

The only political tool we should use to deal with Muslims of any significant concentration is the thermonuclear variety.

Quick, call Newt, he’s going to bring them to America to educate them about modernity so they like us.

Say, aren’t those two soldiers in the left of the picture ? Are they the nice Iraqi soldiers we just got finished training, provisioning and building nice bases for ?

Did we train them with our real tactics or fake ones ?

Looks like a very trustworthy group. Nice place to take a vacation. Do they have a Disney there ?

FU iraq... I hope the iranian mullahs rape all of your women and eat all of your men. Piss on you and your satanic people... and Bush was a fool to ever think that you were human.

I wonder if you can make a flag out of woven detonation cord?

I’m thinking of “Burn Yankee-Flag Kits” shipped into the middle east by the thousands. A 20’ kill radius would be about right.

My thoughts also. The people doing this are radical Sunnis and are not going to fare well under a radical Shia regime.

Didn't see any women in them, but there appear to be two U.S. troops there, just the left of the U.S. Flag.

Their way of saying thank you....right!

Stick it where the sun doesn't shine! Imagine.....our President invites these enemies to sit at his table!... I really wish we'd have left them under Saddam to do whatever he pleased with these people who haven't a clue how to measure the value of life nor gratitude of... I have no heart for those people anymoore because they would have it so..... Ranting does wonders for the heart and soul in such casses as this!
