Since when do "foreign occupation resistance" target and kill their
own civilians? Women and children from their own country?

I didn't misattribute anything, just replied to JB's post. Your
quotes are preceded by ">>", the one in question by ">>>" - though by
JB's trimming off the previous author attributes other than yours that
isn't as obvious.

Sorry for any confusion.

You are right, and the Iraqi opponents to American occupation denounce those
attacks. Not that you hear about that in the right wing press.
