Iraq Leaflets Contain Anti-U.S. Propaganda

FALLUJAH, Iraq - Leaflets urging people to "count all the American tanks you see and report them to us" were strewn across the courtyard of a two-story building that doubled as a hospital for those who fought U.S. troops in this former insurgent stronghold.

The leaflets were unsigned and unnoticed until the Marines' Iraqi interpreter, nicknamed Sam, picked one up over the weekend as his unit was searching for weapons in the building, which was the local headquarters of the Iraqi Islamic Party.

"To stop American tanks, you must trust your religion," the leaflets read. "Keep away from people who work for the American forces. Keep praying. Count all the American tanks you see and report to us."

I love how this is propaganda, yet our media isn't...

...before the Iraqi Islamic Party is declared illegal?

Gee, who else made the Iraqi Islamic Party illegal? Could it be...SADDAM? Oh boy, FREEDOM IS ON THE MARCH! YEEE HAWWW! YEE HAWWW is our foreign policy!

On edit: I don't blame the troops for this. They're the people I think about most in this horrible war. The people responsible are at the top.

A Marine civil affairs officer, Lt. Col. Leonard De Francisci, said the array was impressive for a field hospital: Cipro antibiotics, tranquilizers, sedatives — even a chest tube, the type used to treat gunshot wounds to the lungs. Many of the boxes were marked with insignias of the Red Crescent, the World Health Organization (news - web sites) and UNICEF (news - web sites).

"It is all pretty sophisticated by Third World standards. They were obviously preparing for a long, drawn-out conflict," De Francisco said. "We had seen so many things stashed in weirdest places, yet this was a surprise."

"...pretty sophisticated by Third World standards". That they've been indoctrinated to regard Iraq as "third world", speaks VOLUMES of the mindset of those "liberators".

I find that odd, a first-aid place in the middle of where men fight? But of course they would have one. These terrorist think they they are fighting for their country. Odd way, to blow up your own people, but then we are on the other side blowing up their own people also. Seems to me the only people who are not winning are the people of Iraq.

There fighters are terrorists , ours are not. There forces are anti-Iraqi, ours are not.

Goebbels would be proud of the bushies.

not a U.S. puppet gov't. I wish our troops the best, but we are on the wrong side.
