My friends and I who are the old women of the neighborhood went to the soldiers and welcomed them and prayed that God would help them to defeat the terrorists," said Um Sabah of the Mashtaal area in eastern Baghdad. "Although, the presence of army and vehicles is not very comfortable, we welcome it because it is for the sake of Iraq."
One persons opinion! I'll bet there are a lot more anti-american opinions in Bagdad. Think of it like this: Some foriegn nation bombs the hell out of your city, then sends in tanks and soldiers to patrol your streets, blows to hell most everything that was your town, starts a sectarian war bringing in foriegn terrorists, sets up a puppet government, locks down all access to the oil, tortures prisoners and even kidnaps some and sends them to a foriegn prison with no hope of ever getting out (Guantanamo), posts pictures of naked men prisoners on websites, is going door to door and kicking in your front door and holding your family at gunpoint and taking away anyone they deem persons of interest, yeah that makes me feel like getting all cuddly with them, how about you? If it were the Russians doing that here in your town, tell me you'd like it. And don't come back with they could never do it, that boat won't float. Think about what I've said and tell me you'd be so fucking friendly. I'd be out on a rooftop with my deer rifle shooting them in the fucking head!

Baghdad sweep meets little resistance BAGHDAD, Iraq - Thousands of U.S. troops swept house-to-house through mostly Shiite areas virtually unopposed Wednesday in the opening phase of the long-awaited Baghdad security crackdown. But four U.S. soldiers were killed outside of the capital in an area not covered by the operation. Elsewhere in Baghdad, Iraqi soldiers and police set up new checkpoints across the city of 6 million people, snarling traffic and forcing people to walk across bridges jammed with cars and trucks.
