This pains me to no end that a mosque from whence enemy are firing is valued more than the lives of our Marines. I'm so mad I could spit. Yep. You wanna give me 5 minutes with some explosives in the neighborhood?
To: saquin
What a piece of crap. The Marines are overrunning the city ahead of schedule. The area around that Mosque is being taken "inch by inch" because if the Mosque were in the least respect damaged the New York Fishwrap would accuse the Marines of war crimes and damaging a "holy site" even though as a terrorist HQ it is a legitimate military target.
To: saquin
Obviously "the resistance" is just a bunch of local guys who got ahold of weapons, no organization, no plan, no hope.
They have to know that they are going to die.
I'm not sure if that amounts to courage or lunacy, but you have to stand in awe of it.

May the Lord keep the US Marines and all coalition forces in His Grace.

There is no such thing as a "holy fire base." If somebody shoots from a Mosque, flatten it!

Great map, now let's MOAB each red circle!!!

So the idiot with a suicide bomb belt runs AWAY from us then blows himself up? Dyslexic terrorist?OK, smart guy. You try reading the instruction manual for a suicide belt while a bunch of Marines are shooting at you. They were probably a bad translation from Indonesian or something, with diagrams that don't make any sense.
Jeeze. Every body's a critic.

I wish that intrepid AP photographer Bilal Hussein could have been on the scene described in the second paragraph. Loved to have seen that little vignette.
To: Wneighbor
I hope no one is believing this drivel being printed here by the NYT. I was under the impression names could not be used in a valid news report of battlefield situations.
This article author has read to many Mack Bolan novels.
May god protect all armed forces fighting the terrorist anywhere in the world. And may god bring his justice to those who speak lightly and ill of our armed forces.
And may the NYT reporters get a set of guts because they certainly need it.
To: saquin
I am so very proud of all of these wonderful, brave men. They are warriors, but they also have heart.
May Jesus hold them in His ever-loving embrace - keeping them safe from the harm of those infidels who kill in the name of a God that I do not know, for their God is a God of hate.
May He comfort the families with His reassuring warmth. May God bless this wonderful country I call home, The United States of America.
In His Name, Amen.

May the Lord keep the US Marines and all coalition forces in His Grace. Standing in agreement with you on that!
To: vger
Wish we could change those little circles that represent Mosques to empty spots.

"I'm not sure if that amounts to courage or lunacy, but you have to stand in awe of it."
I respected the NVA also, but I still killed them -- that is the answer I give leftists when they insist that kerry was in vietnam.
Hanoi Jane had best count her lucky stars that:
1. no Marine caught her in his sights in VN
2. Marines are naturally horny and shooting her would have been a SECOND consideration ;>)
Happy Birthday U.S.M.C. 299 years of Kicking Ass!
