About this Quote

This quote by Robert Fisk is a commentary on the American invasion of Baghdad in 2003. He recommends that while the Americans may have assumed they were liberating the city, the fact was that tens of hundreds of burglars had a different idea of what freedom meant. These thieves, who came in families as well as cruised the city in trucks as well as cars and trucks, were searching for booty, or taken goods.

Fisk's quote is a tip that the truth of battle is typically far various from the idealistic objectives of those that income it.
