This is what I have been saying...

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - A former Saddam Hussein-era general appointed by the Americans to lead an Iraqi security force in the rebellious Sunni stronghold of Fallujah urged tribal elders and sheiks Sunday to support U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq.
Retired Maj. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Latif rose to prominence after nearly monthlong battles last month between the Marines monthlong battles in April between the Marines and insurgents hunkered down in Fallujah's neighborhoods.
"We can make them (Americans) use their rifles against us or we can make them build our country, it's your choice," Latif told a gathering of more than 40 sheiks, city council members and imams in an eastern Fallujah suburb.
Yes, so! It is their choice, the gen wants to be on the Americans' side, but apparently there are people who have chosen to oppose american invasion.
In any invasion you will have colloborators and resistance. Look at the example of europe in WWII, there were as many people who welcomed the germans as those that opposed, if not more. That is the nature of invasions.
Stumble It!
