one of the dumbest things i've heard...

an anti-war college kid after seeing the iraqi people cheering the arival of US troops into baghdad

"yeah they are happy to be free, but that doesn't mean they are happy we are there"

[deadair]

come on, "sure they are happy to be free"??!!?


i mean, that is the POINT of us being there.

 

[deadair]

...maybe it just sounds dumb to me...

 

[FrostGiant]

No. I thought it sounded dumb too.

 

[ChromeLife]

I also agree.

 

[azal]

I don't think so.

I understand that he was saying...

the people are glad they are free, but the are not too happy about the US staying there and essentially running their country.

 

[xfer]

I'm not saying it absolutely doesn't sound dumb, but I don't understand how it does. Are you saying it was inane of him to say they are happy to be free, because it's obvious?

 

[avi]

they are happy to be free, but eager for the troops to leave. not dumb at all.

 

[deadair]

maybe it was his face...
