Iraqi Killed Saving U.S. Troops Email This Story Print This Story

An Iraqi man saved the lives of four U.S. Soldiers and eight civilians when he intercepted a suicide bomber during a Concerned Citizens meeting in the town of al-Arafia Aug. 18.

May the Iraqi man who gave his life for our troops rest in peace. This man's courage and sacrifice proves that the Iraqi people do support the American troops. Too bad our politicians don't believe in what our troops are doing as much as this brave Iraqi man did.

Over 600,000 Iraqi's have given their lives for this government, 2.2 million are sitting in the desert homeless and hopeless for this government. And extremist groups are gaining power and favor worldwide because the U.S. has basically destroyed a country based on lies. The Iraqi people suffered really for nothing, since it turned out Bush is a liar and there were no WMD's. Additionally, the Iraqis were a lot more "freer" under Sadaam than under this constant violent remnants of a state the U.S. has created. Note: Any person with half a functioning brain knew that there were no WMDs before the 2003 invasion. No blame on the little soldiers. They would walk off a cliff if Bushie told them to.
