The Democrats have allied themselves with Saddam and Bin Laden so it's predictable that they would go into mourning when their fellow terrorists are killed.

No doubt we have supplied them with comms devices

Would this make it easier to track in real time?

Maybe they are so cocky and arrogant that they did not expect the outcome.

I've been wondering if it was a set-up on our part, too.

"The RATs at DU aren't taking it so well either. They either don't believe it entirely or they're questioning the numbers. Of course they'd all b e happy if it were American soldiers who had been killed. Yet they deny they're anti-American."

Figures. I've noticed that at DU. News they don't like is subject to intense scrutiny, whereas news they do like isn't questioned.

Of course, it's hard not to do this to some degree, but over at DU it's almost comical how far they take it.

Steve Centanni:
 
Attacks were highly coordinated and well planned.
 
Two different US convoys ~ one on the East and one on West were attacked at about the same time. Iraqis were well-armed, attacked with RPGs, mortars, rifle fire, and grenades ~ all at the same time.
 
One of the American convoys approached an enemy roadblock, attackers hit our troops from rooftops. Both US convoys responded from their locations.
 
US responded with cannon fire, tanks, rifle fire...killing 46 Iraqis, injuring 18 others...destroying 3 buildings.
 
About an hour later, convoy of US engineers came under fire, returned fire and hit the attackers.

Bad day for the bad guys. (^;

CNN was complicit in the non-reporting of the death chambers under Saddam, all so they would be allowed to remain in Baghdad. They are never to be trusted again.

Hitlery and Clark probably drew up the battleplan for the Fedayeen.

Centani said the fedayeen had a roadblock in place? how the hell can they setup a roadblock when we have total air supremacy, I still do not understand why these convoys don't have apache escorts/lookouts?

But convert whatever time he gives you from AM to PM. He's a little time zone challenged.
