Translation

6 U.S. citizen and 2 brithish citizen ( white poeple, not arab) have been made prisoners by the US army in Irak. They were participating into guerrila warfare against coalition .

It is the first time US army recognise that occidental warrior fight coalition in Irak.

Is this some kind of mercenery ? They fight the poeple of their own nationality .

Shock and awe as curt would have said.

Curt says do not be surprised.

There has been more than one western soldier hwo went on to become mercenaries.

For instance:
Many regimes in Africa had armies trained by ex-NATO 'retired' personnel.

Tons of international Mercs were present in the Yugoslavian conflicts.

One of the representant chamber member ( USA) have suggest to give back the name french fries to freedom fries, because it could help bringing France to help in Irak. .

Bush said its time to forget those old childerness ( edit:childishness ). He said in a letter; it will be good to reinstate french fries and french toast.

Mercenaries are still suprisingly common and the US is one of the largest suppliers. The interesting question is who pays them? Saddam? The Saudis again? France?

It's me! But don't spread it around...

In the human history, brothers have killed brothers, children have murdered their parents for money, etc. Therefore, nationality is really nothing in their books.

Interesting indeed .


I think the torture thread should be link here, right. I wouldnt like to be in their shoes. For sure they need strong confidence ( trust) within the resister, outerwise they ll be dead already; kill as ennemy spy. do you understand what i mean ? How the arab let white poeple into their ''army" without beeing sure they are not spy ? i am confuse. Conspiracy mode on

Isn't it far more likely that these people are British and American Muslims who are violently opposed to the occupation of Iraq?

not necessarily muslims. people so convinced by ideals that they'd fight their own countrymen.

"French Fries" were renamed "Freedom Fries" in the cafeteria used by the United States House of Representatives. This is the only place, iirc, that the House of Representatives can change food name without needing the Senate to also agree. (and that doesn't carry the risk of a Presidential veto).

As the Republicans only control the Senate 51-49 as opposed to the 12-15 vote lead in the House of Representatives, it would be much more difficult to change food name outside of this cafeteria.

how do you know it not propaganda?

My link is a very reliable source, it say Reuters. And effectively Bush wrote a letter to reinstate french fries and french toast.
