In iraq, who do you think is doing a better job, usa or britian?
i know usa is in a more hostile place but when they where asked who they like most, the iraqi people chose the british because the uk was policing the streets, not fighting them and killing loads of civilians.
No argueing, just opinions please!

Wow... fighting and killing loads of civilians, are we?  I didn't kill any civilians when I was over there.  Huh.  I actually thought we were protecting them and everything.

Granted, if people keep shouting propaganda loud enough, some people will start to believe it just because it is everywhere. 

That being said, if the Iraqis feel more comfy with the Brits, by all means, let them do it.

In war I believe the operation should be concluded before you speculate how everyone did their job , regardless of everyone talking about it now, history will tell the story.

Its pretty obvious to me who has the best job in Iraq, mercenaries and security personal. There paid thousands a month and get a lot of time off!

I dont believe like Elite implyed that there's US troops killing people intentionally (its a shitty situation) but there are clearly a lot of people dying over there. Check out:

www.iraqbodycount.org

I know it a super liberal left site, but the way its calculated makes it seem that the figures represented could be plausible.

Cheers.

sorry, i didnt mean any disrespect for the persons who fought in the war, its just i see like 'strategic bombings' on insurgent stronghold and many civilians are killed, while i see british soldiers helping police the streets and things like that.

Apples and Oranges.  They are dealing with different areas and populations.  Can't even compare Al Anbar with the South.

Having said that, the Brits are better at sensing the feelings of the population.
