Iraqi prisoners are gonna get paid! How do you like that shit?
 

So what do you guys think of that, they're going to end up giving money to the Iraqis that were abused, I wonder how that will all work out. Give it to their families maybe, or maybe they'll try to kiss ass so much they'll release them with a big ass bag of cash.

But either way in a couple weeks they'll announce a compensation plan for them for sure. Just watch, those guys are going to get paid.

:1orglaugh

maybe 5k or so U.S.

They've been compensating civilian surviors and families as well, so this is nothing new.

Of course it's one thing to compensate the families of civilians killed. But now we're talking about compensating people who were fighting against us directly.

I think what happened to the prisoners is disgusting and it makes me sick to think our people did that shit. But paying them, and or how they do compensation is going to make me wonder because it's all about politics.

If someone will invade your country ...will you fight him directlly ?
Paying them money is a lauzy excuse. US is going down.

pfft, 100's of billions wasted on a useless war and you're worried about $10k or something they're giving some guy who got a broomstick jammed up his ass?

I would rather spend 10 times that on killing muslims than to spend just one dime supporting another useless welfare recipient, another failed public school, etc.

yeah but clearly you're not very smart.

:1orglaugh

nice.

:1orglaugh

Well I hate to be mean, but come on. Yeah let's spend a trillion dollars killing people instead of fixing the public school system.

That's what you get when you have little left-wing bitches from your own country biting down your neck when you go to war. I mean fair enough there has to be standards, but God forbid America ever gets in a real war.

Then clearly you could beat me in a game of chess or some battle of intelligence, right?

Clearly, no, you couldn't.

sums it up nicely:thumbsup

oh and those iraqi detainees weren't POWs

No Buffy, it's not clear at all.

:1orglaugh

they only complain when the other side has a chance of getting credit for something.

Well not to you, but based on your rantings, there's no reason to think you finished 7th grade.

No that is a misconception.

According to the New Yorker magazine's article there were a wide variety of detainees in the facility. They roughly fit into a few different categories:

1.) POWS (of which there were a few)
2.) Civilian Prisoners (looters / shoplifters)
3.) people picked up on sweeps (wrong place / wrong time)
4.) Probably some random unlucky fuckers

They haven't said WHO they will compesate yet...I seriously doubt they will award money to any surviving enemy soldier.

anti-islamic? there are many parts of the world you'd be labeled a terrorist. better watch your back .. or just stay inside.

Amazing how americans are so little informed... Oh well, I admit I never saw newspapers in McDonalds...

When American troops were going to "seize" a "target" at night, most of the time the said target was nowhere to be found. The neighboors would come out to see WTF is going on, and they would be rounded up, restrained and brought to the prison...

Search on www.guardian.co.uk.... it will educate you...


And as somebody said in the past here ( about the peace activist killed by an israreli tank):


Same here: you don't want iraqis to shoot at you in IRAQ, get the fuck out: simple!

fuck iraq and its people
they hate the US more than they did saddam eventhough saddam killed their family members and raped their women. just an example of the worlds view of the US. "come help us and once your done get the fuck out and btw, we hate you."

I apologize if I'm drifting off topic, but when did anyone in Iraq ask the US to "help"?

it happened, i was there. they all came up to me and stuff and were like "help us please, help us!"

these homos don't see it like this, they see as they u.s. were actually looking out for the iraqi's best interest

lol, I see, the Iraqi prisoner torture is the Democrats fault. Wait, I know the problem, it's Bill Clinton's fault! That fucking bastard, 4 years out of office and he's still destroying America!

Dr. Ahmed Chalabi (also spelled "Ahmad") is part of a three-man leadership council for the Iraqi opposition group, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), which was created at the behest of the U.S. government for the purpose of fomenting the overthrow of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Chalabi, a secular Iraqi Shiite Muslim and mathematician by training, previously served as chairman of the Petra Bank in Jordan, where he engaged in various cloak-and-dagger operations that ended abruptly in August 1989 when he fled the country "under mysterious circumstances" and in 1992 was convicted in absentia for embezzlement, fraud and currency-trading irregularities, sentencing him to 22 years' hard labour. [1],[2]

In August 2003 a petition was circulating among Jordanian deputies to hold a special session soon in the 110-member house to demand the government take legal steps to seek Chalabi's extradition from Iraq. [3]

During 2004 Chalabi's influence with the U.S. has waned to the point where government funding for him is likely to be discontinued.


"The [INC's] intelligence isn't reliable at all," said Vincent Cannistraro, a former senior CIA official and counterterrorism expert. "Much of it is propaganda. Much of it is telling the Defense Department what they want to hear. And much of it is used to support Chalabi's own presidential ambitions. They make no distinction between intelligence and propaganda, using alleged informants and defectors who say what Chalabi wants them to say, [creating] cooked information that goes right into presidential and vice-presidential speeches." [6]

Actually, that's what you get when trailer trash in the U.S military is caught on camera breaking international law and smiling about it. All the 'right-wing' maggots come crawling out bush's ass in his defense, what is the fucking point? it's not worth defending. Should it be condemned? Hell yes.

i'm pretty sure i'm better informed than you even hope to be. like it or not some of the people in the prison were fighting against us. are there some that weren't of course. are there some that are innocent in us prisons of course.

Well, already you now say " some"... instead off the "all" implied...

You are progressing and now are a bit more informed.:thumbsup

.. and i highly doubt they would be paid unless perhaps to keep their stories to themselves.

If they pay them. Were going to see alot of Iraqi civilians agitating Coalition troops to get money.

I didn't imply anything, you did with your interpreation because you already perceived me to be saying it and you disagreeing with it. Just looking for something to pick at. There's no doubt to cover our asses politically we're going to give money to people who were fighting us. I mean fuck we're already giving control of cities back to Saddam generals would it be a stretch to give a few thousand to a soldier who fought us? I don't think so.

Seems reasonable.. thats like nothing compared to the cost of the war anyways.
