From Occam's Toothbrush:

THE REAL SCANDAL OF IRAQI RELIEF

THEY come from all over the world. Their supposed mission is to help the people of Iraq. Their concerned frowns and even their clothes all proclaim the message: "We're the good, caring people . . . and you're not."

But if actions speak louder than words, then many of the international charitable organizations called NGOs (non-governmental organizations) here are less interested in doing good works than in moral posturing and haranguing the army that won a war most of them opposed.

Ask any soldier who patrols this city, and you'll hear the same thing: The NGOs have been here for weeks, but they're not out in the streets. They cite "security concerns" - though journalists and soldiers alike move around the city, using common sense and taking precautions"

Now that is aggravating in of itself...but this unidentified speaker has to take the Fuckwit of the Year award:

A little later, another informs the room that "we as an organization will adhere to humanitarian principles and not use any military aircraft. . . . It is unacceptable for humanitarian supplies to come in on military transport."

Read the rest...it gets worse. Why are we allowing these asshats in-country to stir up dissent? If the US is portrayed as the bad guy, then I say let's live up to the rep...nothing to lose and the Iraqi's have much to gain. Run these losers out of Iraq. Now.
