Its time to drop more leaflets showing us helping guys who surrender, and us mercilessy eradicating sneaky bastards who stage attacks like this. Of course dropping more bombs will also be a plus.

"After the battle, eight Iraqis believed to be plotting the path of the Americans were stopped and taken prisoner after they mistakenly drove right into a Marine position"

"It was a lucky night for a lot of our people out there," Lt. Maze added.

Answered prayers. My daughter and I pray for our troops every morning and evening. I love to see answered prayers.

Note to humble Iraqi farmers........Don't bathe, shave, wear clean clothes, or carry cash.

"I observed two pickups coming up towards us slowly and they seemed friendly,"

This CANNOT be an assumption!

They were dressed as Bedouin peasants, but they did not have farm workers' hands. They were clean-shaven and well-groomed. They were also carrying large amounts of money and one had an Iraqi military ID.

What will happen to them?

These guys learned a lesson, and didn't suffer any casualties. The second time you get shot at is much easier than the first.

Read this at another site, where this article was also posted:

"From what I know about the Geneva Convention, people who engage in combat while out of uniform are considered "guerillas" and are subject to execution. It is a clear violation."

Better yet. Find out what town that iraqi soldier was from and then drop leaflets there. So they can see their son brother friend being helped.....

This is just a taste of what our boys are up against. Fortunately the flak jacket did its job, and one RPG did not.
