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.

It was confirmed that Bush had a backbone, which explains why Kerry didn't have the bulge.

But can anyone tell me about the rumor I heard this morning that W. was wearing a hidden receiver during the debate Friday?Do you really think he could have performed so sluggishly WHILE at the same time being fed information? That seems silly to me.
To: Americanwolf
Nope just the ones that are shooting at us from those mosques! I concur wholeheartedly. They are legitimate targets.

We about got hit in Hit once. They don't like us there. Fortunately the Army National Guard escorts shot our way out of the traffic jam. That was in December. They didn't like us then and they don't like us now.
