I just saw on FOX a picture of the Jordanian-Iraqi border where 4,000 arabs were boarding a bus to go back into Iraq to fight for Saddam.

Ecuse me me, can anyone tell me why they weren't just rounded up by coalition troops and made POWs? Or at least denied entry into Iraq?


That's easy.

4,000 arabs on a bus -- the bus must be absolutely HUGE, so it is easy to keep an eye on it via satellite. <g>

Remember the routes they are taking are in the North. The North is not well occupied by the coalition forces. Everyone sneaking in and out of Iraq including Saddam's first wife supposedly, are traveling the route from Bagdad to Syria or Jordan.

The coalition forcing are bombing the road from time to time......remember the bus going to Syria that got hit last week........ but not all the time, and I don't think there are any coalition troops in the area.

What's pitiful is that over the past ten years, these Iraqis had fled Saddam's regime and now they are going to fight for him. War causes people do strange things.
