(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

Now is not the time to hash out the Grover Norquist story. There is too much happening in Iraq right now.

[TLBSHOW]

Last thing next time you want to blame someone for a problem try getting the right ones as it wasn't sabertooth or me that this was between.

Try Thorondir and Luis......

I will await your apology! Which I am sure won't come.

[Radix]

Keep reading, you will see my opinion which I expressed last night.

[TLBSHOW]

By the time I get it set I am hoping the war is finished! Frank is a very busy person.

[Radix]

You got Luis suspended from posting here?

What the heck is your main interest in posting on the Fr.com?

Every time that I see you there is controversy!

I could be delusional.

Whatever, I have more important matters to attend to than debating a pseudo intellectual who worships dead aninmals.

[TLBSHOW]

see post 1382 it was between LG and someone else and that someone else is also having a time out.

[rdb3]

I'm down with both of you like four flats on a dumptruck.

I'll just continue to observe.

Young, American, conservative-transcender, cocky, and black. Don't like it? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

[Sabertooth]

I'm down with both of you like four flats on a dumptruck.
I'll just continue to observe.

I completely respect that. If folks get along, I don't expect them not to on my account.

[hchutch]

Oh, and who gave you that right?

Your track record stinks. Byron York's got a rep, and his article mostly clears the folks who YOU were slamming.

You have no room to discuss false premises.

Quite frankly, I think Mr. Frum's earlier article had folks like YOU in mind.

[hchutch]

Byron York asked around, particularly about the staffer Gaffney named, and everyone he talked to said the staffer was NOT a problem. You're delusional. In serious need of tinfoil. That's the truth.

You have no room to accuse anyone of being Clintonian.

[Sabertooth]

Tell you what, after we're done with the hot part of the war in Iraq, flag me to York's article, and we can discuss it.

[hchutch]

The ONLY thing to discuss is when Gaffney will have the stones to apologize for his smear, and when YOU will apologize for helping to spread it.

Otherwise, I'd rather you took a hike.

[Sabertooth]

I'd rather you took a hike.

I believe you came looking for me, with a ping list in tow, on a matter which you'd earlier stated it was your intention not to discuss.

Whichever way you decide you'd like it, and you're under no obligation to make your mind up now, it's something I won't be discussing until after the Iraq War is settled.

to speak the truth with love

OK...my truth.

I'D "LOVE" TO SEE MOST OF THE MOON ROCK WORSHIPPERS AND THEIR COLLABORATORS HERE SENT STRAIGHT TO HELL IN A BUCKET!

Is that better?

Btw...I saw his pic...black....adopted Islam.

I know where you are coming from....the "Be Nice" type of Christian perspective. I know it well, it's apostate to me and infects the bulk of Protestantism.

Neither I nor our country can afford that indulgence. I prefer the Onward Christian Soldiers spirit myself....and you can throw a few right minded Jews in there with us. Hagee in San Antonio or Kennedy in Orlando are more to my flavor of Christianity...where there are rules and consequences and for G-d's sake there's more to it than being "nice" or having "good" thoughts ala a Jimmy Carter "baptist".

*Anything else you want to say? Please don't hold back your feelings.

[wardaddy]

Wrong....I'm not aware of any white Nation of Islam members...are you?

Black by itself does mean nothing although the seed of resentment of whites by blacks is not only promoted by Black Islam.

I'd say Islam obviously figures first by a long shot but the black angle is not inconsequential with regards to this individual.

NOI does mean Black Supremacy and is tolerated to a much much greater degree by other blacks than white supremacy is tolerated by fellow whites (today).

Just my views and observations. I regret any pall this casts over other blacks in the military in the minds of some. That would not be correct either.

Why we have black Islamists in our military is a good question in it's own right.

[FITZ]

This is how it's relevant: the very same people who hate ALL Muslims hate ALL blacks.

But black is just the way God decided to make some people, others he decided to make white (really He just made shades of people) ----Muslim is a choice. I don't think we would expect to see this grenade throwing done by a black Lutheran convert, or a black Catholic convert.

[wardaddy]

Hi Dear!

I have been out all afternoon and apparently missed a big squabble here.

I just want our enemies killed or their will to fight broken asap so our soldiers face less exposure to the chance of being killed.


I also want the traitors in our midst flushed out and dealt with according to law.

I also want those who egg them on from Louis Bow Tie to Al & Jesse and their White Dem enablers to be held accountable for the resentment they sow.

That's about it. War is not about being nice or politically correct.

You know all that anyhow...I'm just ranting.

[FITZ]

Black by itself does mean nothing although the seed of resentment of whites by blacks is not only promoted by Black Islam. I'd say Islam obviously figures first by a long shot but the black angle is not inconsequential with regards to this individual.

I know a black sargent major who came from one of the poorest parts of the South, from a very poor family ---descended from former slaves --he could also have had seeds of resentments of whites. He stayed with the Baptist church and is a successful man --- there is no way he would have done something like this guy did. I don't think being black figures into this at all ----besides Colin Powell himself is black, he probably has some things he could be resentful of. Islam takes that resentment and feeds it.
