Good job .

[Uncle Miltie]

The Angel in the whirlwind resides with our troops. G-d bless, and happy hunting!

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.

[piasa]

fyi, more of those manicured farmers.

[try phecta tom]

WOW

"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.

[steveegg]

Outstanding.

Kill 'em dead!

"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?

[XJarhead]

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

[Coop]

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

[rodeocowboy]

Let's go boys! Let's go boys! Cowboy up! Yeeeeeeeeeehaw! Whoop that Iraqi ass!

[skeeter]

They were also carrying large amounts of money and one had an Iraqi military ID.

This is the third time I've seen reference to "farmers" carrying wads of cash. Hopefully at this point our guys consider this tantamount to being armed.

[faithincowboys]

Good job Boys. Fall back on your training and kick a$$.

God Bless our brave Troops and their families!!!

Good catch, guys. You can't fake farm-worker hands.

The Kubota front-end loader with stinger missiles is no slouch.

"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.

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."

If they had weapons, they are illegal combatants, and should be treated as such. If not, send them back to the POW pens for possible further processing to Gitmo.

[Dead Dog]

"....but they did not have farm workers' hands",

Just like the VC...except these guys are still alive..for now. They'll probably will take out a few LARs, but they will pay a terrible price.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The Marines, all travelling in Canadian-built light armoured reconnaissance vehicles, fought back with their 25-mm chain guns.

That's one hell of a $h!tstorm in anybody's book.
