That's it, come get that heaping ration of Marine whoop ass! These Republican Guard idiots should know that they can't stand toe-to-toe in a fight with the Marines, I wonder what they've got up their sleave?

[alrea]

the word elite is overused when it refers to the soldiers in iraq. these guys were the ones shooting into the water several days ago looking like they were on a snake hunt.

[Ragirl]

"elite" to the Iraqi's and the press means they have shoes! Geez!

[goldstategop]

Elite? The Iraqis have barely put up a tenacious fight. After a few rounds they've folded like a cheap suit.

[Cuttnhorse]

What do you call a column of 3,000 "Elite" Republican Guards?? TARGET PRACTICE! They are about to eat the biggest lunch of their sorry lives.

[bullseye1911]

The intelligence officers said about 3,000 Republican Guard troops were spotted in one town along Highway 7 and 2,000 more at another.

Allah, paging Allah...we need 360,000 virgins.. STAT!!!!

[GOP_Proud]

OK. If we know this won't we just come in from the air and bomb them? Help a poor soul here who knows nothing about war strategery.

[Giddyupgo]

This should be easy.....just bomb the 1,000 vehicles.

[AmericaUnited]

It's MOAB time.

"Road Of Death II" is about to be filmed.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

You're having a little problem with the language, Saddam.

[InvisibleChurch]

delete the elite

[Iwentsouth]

Mincemeat. There going to be nothing but burning vehicles.

A depleted Uranium diet with lead on the side.

If we know this won't we just come in from the air and bomb them?

Oh, I'm sure mission orders have been/are being cut to deal with this new threat. In fact, Military Intelligence (an oxymoron, for sure!) probably knew about this before the first tank in column began moving.

[Bulldog1967]

"Intelligence officers with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force said the Iraqi forces were headed south from Baghdad on a route that avoids advancing U.S. Army forces and leads them directly to the Marines....."

Some people are just in a hurry to die.....


Semper Fi Marines! Get some!

[backhoe]

Soon US soldiers will see their oun blood. Just cowards can drop bombs from the height. Now we'll see how they will shit in their pants in the streets of Bagdad. But as a metter of fact US G.I.s hardly captured the Bagdad soon....

Slow day at DU, or are you normally this inarticulate?

[GRRRRR]

Heh, Heh, Heh....Here Kitty Kitty....Come and get some Din-Din!!

BaaaBOOOOM!

[BobP]

Sounds like a target-rich environment to me!

I'm sure the pilots are ready to rock!!!!
