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.

"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.

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

What will happen to them?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.

They won't make that assumption again, you can bet on it!
