When over 160,000 heavily armed foreign militants and state-sponsored terrorists patrol the streets in your hometown(not to mention the armed helicopters prowling the skies to provide further intimidation to the local populace), would you call your town and country "free"? Perhaps the recent commentary by a U.S. Marine officer said it best, "People here don't like it when we have boots on their necks."
No amount of propaganda by the corporate bin-Laden media can change the real nature of this brutal USA Occupation of Iraq, despite the thin veneer of so-called free election(or more appropriately termed 'FREE ELECTION-RELATED PROGRAM ACTIVITIES.')
