Adrian Blomfield discovers deep mistrust between American troops and Iraqi soldiers they are training

If the US marines and Iraqi national guardsmen living at the Karmah military barracks near Fallujah talk at all, they speak through the bars of a small window.

The Americans peer out from the ammunition room, filled with weapons confiscated from suspected insurgents, trading banter with the Iraqis who stand on tiptoes in a huddle outside, their eyes squinting against the glare of the late summer sun.

Though there is laughter, things are not as they should be at Karmah barracks. "This is camp poison," whispers a marine. "Watch your back."

To leave your country and go fight in another country is nothing but foolishness. How amny of them will return, and how many of them who return will say that they have won the war? It is Bush's created 9/11 in Iraq. Iraq has been destroyed but USA has lost the war both politically and morally. May God bless the marines.
