US Chicken Giveaway Doesn't Fly in Fallouja

In the Los Angeles Times.

"We would rather eat rocks than eat chickens from Americans," he spat out. "Even the poorest person in Fallouja doesn't want chickens from you."

I feel sorry for the US Army, carrying out orders given by idiotic politicians and still trying to be nice, tough job.

Sick how the Imams can speak for the people like that. ~"No one will take american chickens. They would eat rocks first."

Yet the interpereter indicated that they would take it from him and not to use loud speaker because they would be overrun with takers for the food.

Also interesting how they turn a relatively positive story into a negative.

They list all the bad things first and down play all the stories of the Imams who accepted the food aid FROM the US troops.
