Tuesday, September 16, 2003   News From Iraq CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. � The face of Iraq that Americans usually see on television is not the one Marine Lance Cpl. Aaron Job has seen, especially in the past few months. "All you hear on CNN is that all the Iraqis hate Americans and want us out," said Job, 20, who returned to his home base in California on Saturday after five months in Iraq. Job, of Issaquah, doesn't doubt that anti-American sentiment is strong in Baghdad, but in towns south and west of the capital, where he spent most of his time after Saddam Hussein's fall, Iraqis were welcoming, warm and generous. "They'll invite you into their homes and they'll give you anything. ... They would give us stuff off their trees, dates, limes ... and they love to make you tea." Some residents would offer works of art or furnishings. Job said polite enlisted men, such as himself, declined by tugging on their collars, where officers carry their insignia. "They knew that meant it was something the officers didn't want us to do." Seattle Times -- posted by Chuck at Tuesday, September 16, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
