BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. marines engaged in heavy clashes with scores of insurgents near a mosque in western Iraq on Monday, leading to U.S. air strikes which damaged the mosque and left it ablaze, the U.S. military said.
A U.S. military spokesman said marines came under fire from around 100 insurgents near the town of Hit, about 107 miles west of Baghdad, and engaged in an hour-long firefight.
Air support was called in after the guerrillas took up positions around a mosque in the town. "The mosque is partially damaged and currently on fire," the spokesman said.

What? Are they trying to imply that we go 'round burning mosques just for fun? I'm totally surprised.

I believe the interior of Mosques are vacant. I'm not sure if there is anything to burn except things that aren't suppose to be there in the first place....like insurgent supplies!!

The Iraqis have been telling us for a long time not to worry about the Mosques, they can rebuild them, they can't rebuild the lives these creeps are destroying.

That is why bombing "safe-houses" in Fallujah won't get Zarquawi. He and the "orange jumpsuit" crowd are most likely beheading people in a mosque.
