Dhiya Hamid al-Karbuli, a truck driver from a village near the Syrian border, said he fled with his wife, six children, his brother, sister and mother after U.S. troops commandeered their home last month.
“They broke into my house before Ramadan and they are still there,” he told The Associated Press by telephone from his brother’s home in Baghdad. “We were not able to tolerate seeing them damage our house in front of our very eyes.… I was afraid to ask them to leave.”
“They were eating our food. They took all the food from the refrigerator, and used all our stored junk food too. The major gave me $20 so we could shop for ourselves and for them. It was not enough.”

To murder the director or antiquities…

Thank you Charles for agreeing that this man will be alive if Bush didn’t created this chaos in Iraq.
Keep the good work
Oh, I thought your ‘freedom fighters’ killed him. But you are right, it must have been Bush. How silly of me. Of course it is his fault.
On the other hand, the only difference between your freedom fighters and Saddam’s thugs is that now the former are out of power. For the most part they are the same people, but now they have a different name. Under Saddam, it wouldn’t have been classified as ‘murder’.
Show me somewhere I said this
The third amendment the US Constitution Bill of Rights says, “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” Just another of the hundreds of American ideals that have been thrown out the window by this administration. Sigh…
Don’t be so deliberately obtuse.
A quick review of your blog reveals 99% anti-US propaganda. There is a conflict in Iraq. There is an elected government that is being supported by the US/coalition. It is being opposed primarily by extremist sunni groups and former regime elements. These groups are causing the death, destruction, and mayhem in Iraq. Since you focus all of your attacks against the US, you must consider the ‘freedom fighters’ (who by the way are overtly opposed to democracy) to be the good guys.
If you thought they were worse than US, you would obviously focus more one their actions. If you thought they were equally bad, you would focus attention equally.
“If you thought they were worse than US, you would obviously focus more one their actions. If you thought they were equally bad, you would focus attention equally.”
LadyBird has stated many times that she believes this has happened because of the US invasion. Now who is being obtuse?
