Senior British commanders have condemned American military tactics in Iraq as heavy-handed and disproportionate.
One senior officer said that America's aggressive methods were causing friction among allied commanders and that there was a growing sense of "unease and frustration" among the British high command.
The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said part of the problem was that American troops viewed Iraqis as untermenschen - the Nazi expression for "sub-humans"............

| This is a good example of how the British people are acting like libral Nancyboys and fail to see that we are fighting a war for our survival. The Iraqi's are sub-human and when you are in a war it's good to promote this thought among your army. |

Sad that it's become that way, isin't it? Guess they didn't hug us and welcome us with open arms after all.

Please elaborate. I find it interesting how this prejudice could be valid, somehow. |

I really hope that was sarcasm otherwise my friend you fall into the category of 'one of those idiots who give americans a bad name'.
The way the British have handled Basra has been first rate, and i am not just saying that because i am british. They immeadiately set about winning over the people and working together with them. Within a few days of being there they even got a game of football going with the local team.
The US on the other hand try to rule by shooting whatever they can, and it doesn't seem to be working.
We can argue all day about whether it's 'for your survival'.... personally i'm glad Saddam is gone as he was a threat... but how does it look to the eastern world? It's certainly not painted in red white and blue like on CNN i can tell you ;) |

War doesn't just involve bombs and guns, it involves psy-ops.
This article is a good example of exactly the type of enemy we are fighting. With attitudes like this WW2 would have never been won and it's exactly the reason why Vietnam and Korea weren't.
Sean Rayment should be put in jail for treason for this article. |

Although I'm using stronger language and exaggerating a little on here, for the most part I am not being sarcastic.

I fully agree and I read similar stories about American liberations, But that was during the initial war. During this second part of the war things are different. We are now fighting the real enemy, not saddam, but the real terrorists.

Sorry, but if my country is fighting a war I'm not going to disable my army and require that they can't fire until they've already been shot. This is a real war, not a game played by paintballers. These are my friends and family getting shot at over there.
Also, on the contrary it looks like it has been working. After the US has killed about 700 terrorist they come forward and are trying to negotiate a cease-fire. I really doubt that they would have done that if we didn't keep the pressure on them.

You don't believe that my freedom and way of life are at stake here? How about if terrorists flew 757's into your bigben, would you still feel that way? |

just to say that "The Iraqi's are sub-human and when you are in a war it's good to promote this thought among your army." proves how ing stupid you are.

Instead of just throwing insults how about you give a real argument and back up what you say. Otherwise you are the one comming off as ing stupid. |
