    Should the U.S. flag be raised in Iraq?

    There is a controversy brewing about the fact that American military commanders in Iraq have been ordered to NOT raise the American flag over territory it has conquered for fear of inflamming Iraqi resistance & other Moslems world wide.

    What do you think?

      It's a bad idea to raise the US flag in Iraq. Maybe in a lower position then the Iraqi flag, but not to replace it.

        Raise the Iraqi flag. Maybe followed by the US/UK flags, but not really necessary.

          I guess we won't know the actual answer to that question for years.

            Not unless they really want to piss off the Iraqi people. Supposed to be removing the regime not claiming a victory over the people.

                  How about the flag of Iceland?
                  Now..that would probably weird out the Iraqis so badly they would surrender immediately!

                        No, it's a stupid thing to do. It plays right into the Iraqi's hands saying this is an American invasion. Images of the Iraqi flag being taken down and the American one put up on Al jazeera is bad fucking salad. It's propaganda gold for anti-US countries.. why do you think they've told the soldiers not to do it?

                                  I think we should ram the flag up Saddam's ass before we fly it

                                    Should Osama put up an "Al Qaeda Wuz Here" sign at ground zero?


                                    Funny how if I leave my house, walk down the block, kick the door down to your house and shoot the place up, no court in the world would accept a plea of "self defense".

                                    Yet... George Bush seems to think so.

                                    I still fail to see how the US's "freedom" was somehow threatened from a rather impoverished country on the other side of the world that has trouble keeping basic utilities running in the capital.

                                    I also fail to see how any of it is related to a bunch of Saudi Arabians that committed terrorist attacks against the US who publically denounce the Iraqi leader anyways.

                                    As far as I know:
                                    1. No Iraqi, soldier or otherwise, has ever committed a terrorist attack against the United States.
                                    2. Iraq has never conducted a military attack against the United States other than in self defense of their forces or their country.

                                    Come on, imagine this is a conversation between two people:

                                    Me: "You have a gun, I know you do, and you're going to shoot me with it. I'm coming to your house to shoot you first."

                                    You: "No I don't. Scout's honor."

                                    Me: "You're lying. I'm sending over the cops to search your house to find your gun"

                                    You: "Ok"

                                    Cops: "Can't find any guns"

                                    Me: "Well I know you have one so I am coming over to shoot you in the face"


                                    Tell me how this is protecting my liberty.

                                        As long as there are people to defend this as a "just cause", there are people like me who refuse to abandon common sense, logic, and the laws we live by.

                                        Go blow shit up, I don't really care as long as its not me. I have no lofty ideas of universal morality or justice.

                                          Well..there is every possibility that if we don't fly the American flag, maybe they won't know we were there then!

                                          I mean...we could always blame it on..............

                                            Amp is correct...the reasons for the war have been explained over and over again, by me and many others, with facts and not lies. The reasons for the war are many, but some refuse to be educated and apply common sense, but some are limited in there insight and understanding by low IQ's.
                                            When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!
