?I'm am off to see my brother tomorrow before he goes back to Iraq for the second time. For what? When it comes down to it most average Americans could care less about Iraqi Freedom. If they wanted to be free they could ask for help and uprise, aim to win their independence and be proud of their freedom. How would we feel if Spain tried to come in and "liberate" us from the Brits? Land of the free and home of the liberators.

Nice interview to read.

As an Army, we really focused ourselves [on] getting ready to conduct the operation and the thousand different things that had to be done to get ourselves in the best possible posture to conduct the operation. ... The business of [Iraqi National Congress founder Ahmad] Chalabi looked, from where I was sitting, that there was going to be this great groundswell and that all these Iraqis that were in exile were going to sign up to come back and carry rifles and be a part of this assault, so we were ordered to set up a training operation for these Iraqis in Hungary. We sent a lot of people to Hungary to get ready to train thousands of these people, which I think is the way it was billed, and I believe the final count was around 60 that actually showed up. And so that would indicate that these people perhaps were not interested in leading the assault.
Who ordered you to do that?
Wolfowitz. And we set up an extensive operation to conduct basic-training types of things to get these people a free Iraqi force ready to go and participate in the military operation. And 60 some people showed up.

Yeah, out of all the Iraqis in exile only 60 where willing to "liberate" their country.
How about we leave people alone instead of stomping on their sovereignty? If we wanna help so bad there are plenty of countries who ask for our help.
