I think again you are missing the point... I don't see anywhere in Raider's post where he says the troops are "intentionally killing".
What he said was:

Yes the military takes great care to not kill innocents. BUT, they do kill innocents. AND you have to remember that this war gets spun in a different way on the ground in Iraq. To many there (and here) the coalition forces are engaged in an unjust invasion of their nation.
To many Iraqis who have lost loved ones or seen their nation torn apart by war (yet again) can you blame them for seeing the coalition troops in a negative light? Can you blame them if they were to take up arms against an invader?
Right or wrong, I am sure that many of the insurgents *believe* they are doing the right thing just as fervently as you believe your troops are doing the right thing. Ideology is a bitch.
