My only, non-conspiracist guess would be that the picture shows a US soldier with some Iraqi Army soldiers, before they had uniforms? Or on a special mission?

Otherwise, they are armed insurgents, chilling next to a US soldier, hehe.

But in all honesty, it could be anything, but it's fun to try to figure it out :D

bah...its late here :P

A lot of Iraqi policemen down there in southern Iraq serve in civi clothes to avoid attacks, especially TSU (something like SWAT). It caused a lot of incident (BTW, called "blue to gray"). Once we almost opened fire at white pick up truck overloaded with men in civi lothes with black balaclavas. They survived just because managed to identified in the last second .... and ´cause it took place at noon. At nite we wouldn ´t asked ...

A stupid question and sorry for going OT p-)
But I did notice that some off the soldier have red Palestine scarf. Does the red colour mean something special?

In iraq its more often to have a red shemagh.

Some shemaghs mean omething special but mostly they dont. Some organisations have special patterns and colors for themselves.

That's strange. The pics seem completely bogus as far as the clothing goes, but everything else seems in place. Who are they? I have no idea.

Hi,
The arabic name for this kind of scarf is "keffie" but the palestian colors are black and White.. red & white colors are for the bedouin (eg. Jordan and iraqies tribs).

In regards to "the Palestine Scarf", which is called a Khaffiyeh in Arabic, during the first intifada, in the 1990's, the colors would show allegiance to Palestinian factions: black was for Yasir Arafat's Fatah, red was for the Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine, and green was for Hamas. I don't know if the colors still mean anything, but in Muslim countries, green is a symbol of Islam. Red, of course, has long been a symbol for the Marxists, and the PFLP, lead by George Habash, leaned that way. Habash is a Christian by the way, and a doctor by vocation. He had a stroke a few years ago, and the PFLP's popularity diminished a great deal.

[ZoneOne]

i personally think it is a Training exercise

[tf_echelon]

im going with the military exercise theory.

That is correct. It has many different spellings(I personally spell it Keffiyah) but many arab/muslims wear these scarfs. I have a black one and a red one. The colors dont mean as much as they did during the Infada, but I am assuming in some places it still does. From what i understand, it is all preference.
