Every other news agency refers to the troops as "US soldiers, US forces,

As for the protestors in Tikrit and Ramadi...
I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that those are the very same bad guys who
keeping taking pot shots at our troops. Perhaps we can have one of
those
"accidental" bombings drop right in the middle of 'em.



The correct term is occupation forces. That's what they are.
Perhaps you ought to google the term and learn that after WW I and WW II
the allied forces called themselves "Occupied Forces," and "Occupying
Forces."

Are you implying that the war is over? Because that is when they officially
become "occupation forces". I thought you said that Bush shot his mouth off
too early in declaring the end to major operations?

Also, what do you think about bombing the protestors that are voicing
support for Hussein? I'm sure most of 'em are up to no good anyhow.

War? What war?

There's no war between the United States and Iraq. There's just Bush's
war on Iraq. The uniformed Iraqi armed forces surrendered months ago.
There's been no head of state in Iraq for what, seven or eight months?

We're occupying Iraq. Occupation is the action of taking possession of a
place or of land; seizure, as by military conquest.

You should have taken some history classes.

We are no more occupiers of Iraq than we were occupiers of Paris after kicking
the Germans out.

Wake up, Harry.

Wow. You're much dumber than I thought. The Germans occupied Paris. We
occupied Germany. We liberated Paris from the Germans, NOT from the
French. And we occupied Japan. In fact, we used to refer to Japan as
Occupied Japan for many years.

We have occupied Iraq. We have not liberated Iraq from outsiders. Iraq
was controlled by Iraqis. Now, aside from insurgent actions, it is
controlled by Americans. We are calling the shots there. We have
occupied Iraq.

Buy yourself a good dictionary.

The United States is the occupying power in Iraq. We will be occupying
Iraq for some time.
