But what the hell did we expect? When we decided it was a good thing to invade this country, did we expect the resistance to be conventional and obey the laws of war? No. Everything we knew should have indicated that they would fight brutally, asymetrically, and with out regard to civilian life.
We picked a fight anyways.

Well, thank you for clearing that up.
I made that post because I
have seen people on this board defend such tactics.
I agree, we SHOULD expect it and not be surprised by it.
What bothers me is a) when people want to cut and run when the inevitable tactics are used and b) is when people defend those who use such tactics.
