Triumphant Iraqi General?
It’s interesting the different perspectives we can have, even a hundred meters away from each other at a checkpoint. I saw General Selah waving the Iraqi flag triumphantly after he negotiated a deal to be in charge of Falluja. What I did not see, but others did, was a bunch of people ripping the flag out of his hands as he drove by. This might have been the reason the US changed their mind, citing that a security check revealed that he didn’t play well with others.
