U.S. Military Foils Insurgent Attack
Published: 3/27/07, 4:05 PM EDT
BAGHDAD (AP) - U.S. soldiers foiled two suicide truck bombings against their base in a small town west of Baghdad and killed as many as 15 attackers, the U.S. military reported Tuesday.
The attacks began when a water truck tried to drive into the base just north of Karmah, a town not far from the city of Fallujah, at about 2 p.m. Monday. A soldier opened fire and the truck bomb exploded.
The military said 30 insurgents responded with small-arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. Five minutes into the firefight, a dump truck following the same path as the exploded water truck tried to smash into the base but the driver was shot and the load of explosives blew up.
The military estimated it killed 15 insurgents in the fight and said eight soldiers were wounded. Seven of the wounded returned to duty after treatment by medics at the site. One soldier was hospitalized.

I love good news.
To me "Support the Troops" includes sending them more ammo.

The watertruck and dump truck the sandmaggots blew up were probably on loan from the "palestinians", and were supposed to be rebuilding that huge sewage pond that collapsed in Gaza...

By the time this gets to Rosie "Beast" O'Donnell it will have become a couple of ice cream wagons loaded with fluffy bunnies and baby ducks-------but only if Tehran says so.

"Excellent awareness by our warriors...." Yup. I was thinking of my days as lookout/guard. These lookouts saved many lives...it's for real there.
