When he saw me coming up the officer said, 'We've lost that information, [dang] it! They've killed that Arab of yours.'
'We've lost it,' I said.
I went over to Abdul-Karim's body and turned it over. He looked as though he had seen me swimming in the pool a few moments ago. His was not the expression of a man who had lost.
There, in the courtyard, it was I, all of us, who were the losers.
What can be infer about the narrator and the officer from this excerpt?
They are sympathetic to Abdul-Karim's political cause
They do not consider themselves to be Arab
They are all soldiers
They expect to win the war
