Pathetic. US Military Invents Quotes About Insurgency
<...> Sunday's news release said: "'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq. They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified."

The July 13 news release said: "'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. 'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'" CNN

<snip>

Imagine that, the Iraqis worship King George so much that they are now quoting him in articles that happen to have a snafu in them. Does anyone else find it extremely interesting that they use the exact same phrase as George?
