The General that was sent to Iraq to lecture the troops on ethics said to the troops. "Remember We are the Guests of the Iraqi People".Good Lord.

4. No way is that guy ever allowed to stay at my house!
Yes, sure, we are guests of the Iraqi people, rather like the Germans were the guests of the Belgian people in 1914...

6. Good one....
A history re-write to change this from "Buxh's invasion" to "They invited us to come in and take out their president, so use a coaster".

I guess in Afghanistan we're the guests of the Taliban.
