"When the smoke cleared, 46 Iraqis were dead, 18 were wounded and eight were captured" Excellent! Keep up the good work! Good luck and best wishes to the injured U.S. lads. Our prayers are with you.

Major Firefight Reported Near Samarra
SAMARRA, IRAQ: According to U.S. military sources, a major firefight has occurred in the vicinity of the Sunni Triangle area of Samarra. Witnesses to the incident said that there were multiple fatalities among the attackers, who were described as being dressed like members of the "Saddam Fedayeen," and attempting to ambush one or more U.S. convoys.
The attackers used improvised explosive devices (IED), rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, and small arms fire in their assault. One unconfirmed report suggests that as many as 45 Iraqi insurgents were killed, several wounded, and a number captured in the protracted clash. ERRI military analysts said that this was the largest opposition attack force engaged so far in the 'post-war' environment.
Several American troops were reportedly to be wounded in the battle, though no U.S. deaths were immediately reported. EmergencyNet News will bring you additional official details as they are released by CentCom...

I'm just curious, how did they find out that 18 of the Fedayeen were wounded when they captured 8 of them? Did they count the bloodtrails, or what? Or does captured mean "captured and unwounded" (i.e. surrendered)?

It would be neat to hear American Big Media report - just once - on how many terrorist thugs are done in every day...

Lt. Col. William MacDonald of the 4th Infantry Division said attackers, many wearing uniforms of Saddam's Fedayeen militia, opened fire simultaneously on two U.S. supply convoys on opposite sides of Samarra. After barricading a road, the attackers opened fire from rooftops and alleyways with bombs, small arms, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, he said. U.S. troops responded with rifles, 120mm tank rounds and 25mm cannon fire from Bradley fighting vehicles.
Go ahead. Make my day!

eight were captured Wonder how long it'll be before these eight get a good night's sleep?
Something tells me we're gonna find out an awful lot about their organization.
What's really interesting here is the size of the Iraqi losses -- 72 guys is a heck of a lot of folks for a guerilla organization to throw into an attack.
Worst case is that they're getting a lot of new recruits. Best case is that they're getting desperate.

Terrorists dying instead of Americans. What a concept.
Perhaps Bush is learning.
