“In the eyes of most Iraqis, and this is unfortunate to say, Americans are viewed as thieves, gangsters and thugs who have come to rape and molest women and girls, abuse prisoners, and destroy cities and residential districts one after the other.”

Women ululate. Children clap. Men raise their fists in the air and shout "Allah Akbar." And two young men approach and hand the masked "mujahideen" bouquets of flowers.

Such treatment was once supposed to be reserved for U.S. "liberation" troops. At least that's what American leaders thought before they sent their soldiers into the hell of Iraq.

But conditions today are just the opposite of what the current White House had in mind when they used every trick and lie in the book to sell their Iraq mission.
