According to the US military's own statistics, over 90 per cent of the "insurgents" are Iraqios. And they are properly defending their country, and working to liberate it from, illegal occupation by the US.
What you do is blame the victim, in effort to sustain the lie that the US is perfect, therefore is incapable of being wrong; or that telling the truth is unpatriotic, whereas to be a liar and war criminal is patriotic.
If you are so for this war, ENLIST, and demand to be sent to Iraq so you can show us all how to win it singlehandedly.
Otherwise, shut the f*ck up, chest-thumping chickenhawk.
