~ while troops continue to shell insurgents, who have responded with rocket-propelled grenade fire. ~
RPG's against "Puff the Magic Dragon" (AC-130 gunship) ... sounds fair to me.
~The EU is offering Iraq an £11.5 million aid package to support the country's January elections and the criminal justice system. ~
Wow... the nations of the EU are really going all out now with that massive relief donation. (/sarsasm)
I think we should encourage Michael Moore to help out in the war effort.We could strap him onto a pallet and parachute it out the back of a C-130 into the middle of Fallujah
Of course we would not leave him to the local Sunni's & al-Qaeda of Iraq just so they could produce a video with/of him;
We could have a AC-130 airship fly air cover.
When the Marines got to him they could "rescue" him.
