This is working out well.... Not!

wtf? Why in the world is a US soldier searching a US trained and equipped Iraqi soldier? I can only imagine the morale of the Iraqis subjected to this. Potential turncoats perhaps?

A U.S. Army soldier searches a hooded Iraqi soldier at a checkpoint in Baghdad April 6, 2005. Iraq's parliament named Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani as its new interim president on Wednesday after weeks of haggling in a major step toward forming a new government more than two months after historic elections. Security was tightened across the city as the Iraqi National Assembly met on Wednesday. REUTERS/Ali Jasim

6. I can't help but put myself in their shoes...

I don't think I would want to be searched by the folks who are supposed to be trusting me to take my country back. It would certainly affect my feelings for the occupiers.

Another disastrous decision by the idiots in charge in Iraq.

8. I do, it sucks any way you look at it....

I read an article not long ago about American soldiers not trusting the Iraqis they are training. I would not either. Now tell me this is not like Vietnam!
