Iraqis in the city of Fallujah burn American flags in celebration of our withdrawal.

FALLUJAH, Iraq — Hundreds of Iraqis set alight U.S. and Israeli flags on Wednesday as they celebrated the impending pullout of American forces from the country in the former insurgent bastion of Fallujah.

Shouting slogans in support of the “resistance,” the demonstrators held up banners and placards inscribed with phrases like, “Now we are free” and “Fallujah is the flame of the resistance.”

Surrounded by the Iraqi army, demonstrators carried posters bearing photos of apparent insurgents, faces covered and carrying weapons.

This is why Iraq was a lost cause. We went into liberate. Well the Iraqis didn’t want to be liberated. They are Islamic and view us as the enemy. We should have went in as conquerors and put our boots around their neck. Let this be lesson to us, never again must we invade an Islamic nation to spread Democracy. Arab Muslims don’t want it.
