But that is not the only type of war crime that was committed, was it?? There are plenty more....
If you think troops are enabled to handle this - they are not.
If you think the "commanders" and instigators of "policy" are enabled to handle this - they are not.
It is little surprise some in Iraq "hate" the US - they will be hated long after they "escape" out of the place and for many decades.
Why don't they quit calling people "insurgents"? There are surely some "terrorists" hell bent on shit, but more likely Iraq people wanting to kill the fuckers who killed their families. Let's get real for once and quit the bullshit labels.

The "insurgents" are composed of foreign fighters...former baathists (many of which will be put on trial when if they are captured)...follwers of a couple of Ayatollas (that are attempting a power grab)...loyalists to Saddam/Iraq...and those who hate Americans...for whatever their individual reasons. The estimated number of "insurgents" range from 10,000-50,000...which represents a very small number compared to the 27,000,000 population.
