US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.
The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.
"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

The Dresden approach is looking better and better. I don't recall ever hereing about any insurgency from Dresden after WWII. There was that little issue about it being occupied by the Soviets, and there being minimal news out of there for a few decades.

I've heard a good explanation on this before as a result of collateral damage done to hospitals, etc. -- the side that uses these types of civilian structures as a type of military installation (or puts installations nearby civilian areas) is the side guilty of the war crimes. Exactly.

I suspect, were the militant islamics to target Notre Dame, God forbid... the French would be joining the "fray" sooner rather than later. The French ARE with us in Iraq.

Do women do ANYTHING in Moslem society?
Think about it - even the light-hearted "celebrations" don't have women.

"Worshippers" my butt!!!!.....
Well I'm sure they were but who cares? Primarily fighters. Allahtime.
AlJazeera does give a decent account of the fighting.
They have reporters.propagandists inside the city.

Kerry has nothing. Looking forward to spending your $10.
To: cajungirl
Cajun, its APRIL, and some insurgence are getting their arses smoked in Iraq.... November is 7 months away. Kerry has nothing, the real debate hasn't even started yet.
Yes, Iraq is going to be ugly for a while, probably very ugly up until the constitution taking effect and then some after that as well. This is nothing, this is like them talking about quagmire when the war was 7 days old.. same old song and dance.
Dean was their great white hope with alead going into Iowa caucus night... and we all know how that turned out.
The only poll that matters in the one in November. All that polls mean right now is a measure of how what is chosen as headlines for the nightly news are able to sway short term opinion.
Most people aren't even focussed on the election.. its spring, the sun is finally out and time to enjoy the day. If Kerry has a lead in September I'll be worried, but in April... please, its meaningless.
