That is not and never was the point.

The point was that if you are police and work for the occupiers you not exactly are, nor are you seen as, an innocent bystander.

Also, a strawman is not just a character in the Wizard of OZ, you know, the one without a brain?

LOL. I’m not letting you squirm out of this one kid.

Let’s recap the main points instead of you creating more easily-answerable strawman arguments out your ass, since you seem to have a problem with reading comprehension:

  1. You claimed suicide bombing was a legitimate tactic since it targets “occupation forces and collaborators”.

  2. You claim people shopping at an outdoor market are collaborators. When queried you have not responded.

  3. You claim, the Iraqi Police System (IPS) is equivalent to the Gestapo, making them collaborators. A claim that very very few who aren’t on a lunatic fringe would agree with. So far you have not backed up your claim in ANY way possible besides telling us they both have “Police” in their name, or maybe they both wear uniforms and carry guns.

See kid, this is the way the world works.
When you make a fantastic claim, you better have some facts to back it up or else we all get to point at you and laugh.
The way I’m laughing now.

US threatens to cut funding after police linked to atrocities

Toby Harnden in Washington and Gethin Chamberlain

12:01AM BST 01 Oct 2006

The US is threatening to cut off funding for the Iraqi police unless it puts a stop to atrocities carried out by officers acting in league with Shia Muslim death squads.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the American Ambassador to Baghdad, said America was reviewing its funding programmes in the light of legislation, known as the Leahy Law, that forbids the financing of foreign security forces that commit “gross violations of human rights”.

Iraq has not been formally notified that its police force has breached the legislation, but there is growing evidence that Shia militias, either made up of Iraqi police officers or operating with impunity because of support from the police, have been slaughtering Sunnis.

British and American officials fear that such actions could tip Iraq into a full-blown civil war.

Mr Khalilzad said he remained optimistic that Iraqi officials would “do the right thing” and resolve the matter. He said he had raised the issue of human rights abuses at a Baghdad prison known as “Site 4” several times with Jawad al-Bolani, the new Iraqi interior minister.

Really?

You do know that “terrorists” are civilians, right? They don’t wear uniforms.

And you do know that these “civilian casualties” are pretty much meaningless figures, right? As in, combatants hang out with bomb makers, scouts, look outs suppliers, money men, whatnot, who are just as much as part of the gears of war as actual combatants – hence why they are hanging out with combatants?

The USA and its allies have fought an amazingly restrained war, unlike any empire, ever.

And yet cowards like you (and yes, you are a coward) hide behind real men and carp that such real men aren’t careful enough.

Great, now that we determined that terrorist are civilians we can kill anyone we wish it do not matter.
US soldier 1 : Oh look at all the children hanging with this guy.
US soldier 2 : He look like a terrorist lets kill them all.
US soldier 1: Wait, we are not gonna kill childrens
US soldier 2: Why not they are just part of the gears of war.
US soldier 1: Lets go and after that we go bomb that village over there, I just don’t like the people living there.

LOL. Congrats on your great find.

You DO understand what this article means, right?

So, let me get this straight, you think the Police are legitimate targets for terrorists…

Because some of them are secretly aiding terrorists to kill civilians, which the US is trying to put an end to.

No shit, Sherlock.

You truly are a genius, kid. A comedic genius, but a genius nonetheless.

I haven’t laughed so much in years.

Well I could, but there isn’t one. ACLU freedom of information request to DoD on all information in DoD archives relating to civilian casualties from drone strikes:

“DoD’s search confirmed that DoD does not create or maintain documents to compile estimates of civilian casualties related to drone strikes separately from estimates related to other weapons systems. DoD does not possess documents that estimate civilian casualties resulting from operations involving all types of military aircraft. But, as DoD has informed you[ACLU,] generally speaking, weapons fired by drones are treated identically to weapons fired by other aircraft, and these estimates therefore do not differentiate between weapons platforms. The only documents that address estimates of civilian casualties related to drone strikes are individual battle damage assessments evaluating each military aircraft mission, which the ACLU and DoD have agreed are outside the scope of the documents to be processed in this litigation.”

If you’re referring to Robert Pape’s work, he was found to have been workig with terrorists:

Pseudo-academic propagandist schemes with Hamas-linked CAIR to inflate book sales

Now we know why his vaunted academic findings just happened to whitewash the role of Islamic texts and teachings in encouraging suicide bombings and other violence. “CAIR, Academic Scheme to Inflate Book Sales,” from IPT News, October 6:

University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape, whose research finds religious extremism has a limited role in suicide bombings, is working secretly with a suspected Hamas front to pump up sales of his new book, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned. That includes a secret agreement by CAIR to have its chapters around the country to buy them in bulk so they can manipulate the sales to move up the bestseller ranks. Pape is also scheduled to appear at this weekend’s national banquet for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Cutting the Fuse: The Explosion of Global Suicide Terrorism and How to Stop It, is Pape’s latest project touting his thesis that religion is not a prime factor in suicide bombings. Rather, it is a response to occupation, he argues.

That’s appealing to CAIR, which court records show was part of a Hamas-support network in the United States. Prosecutors say CAIR, which touts itself as the nation’s leading Muslim civil rights organization, never withdrew from the conspiracy to support Hamas politically and financially. And the FBI cut off communication with CAIR in 2008, saying it won’t resume until “we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS.”

Emails reviewed by the Investigative Project on Terrorism show Pape reached out to CAIR this past summer, hoping to have the Hamas-front group buy 1,000 advanced copies of his new book. Pape asserted in his emails and other communications to CAIR that the book would advance and reinforce CAIR’s ideological views that it is the occupation of Arab lands that causes suicide bombings. CAIR’s officials responded with enthusiasm to Pape’s thesis and to his proposal for bulk purchases to artificially boost his rankings into the best seller lists.

“Pre-orders are especially helpful,” Pape wrote on his University of Chicago email account, “because they allow the press to increase the advertising for the book when it is published, and so help to build momentum for the message in the book – that ending Western occupation of Muslim countries is the best path for reducing the spread of suicide terrorism.”

Pape did not respond to an email seeking comment. CAIR’s national banquet is scheduled for Saturday evening outside Washington, D.C. In a release, CAIR says Pape will be on hand promoting his book. The release says Pape will participate in a workshop on “Challenging Islamophobia” and quotes CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad:

“This groundbreaking new book offers a powerful educational tool to be used in challenging Islamophobia that is based on the false linkage between Islam and suicide terrorism.”…

Read it all.
