A corpse sprawled by two charred trucks. Further down the dusty two-lane highway lay a burned-out car and a minivan with its windows shot out. Two handcuffed Iraqis appeared.

Near a wrecked bus were several corpses and scattered body parts on the road. A truck was still burning. To the right, a small fuel tanker truck was ablaze.

Mess with best, die like the rest.

Sounds like this guy just figured out that people get killed in a war, and he isn't sure he likes it.

[Saturnalia]

No to mention the destruction.
A good thing the Marines don't have any baby milk factories to distract them!

[mewzilla]

Better theirs than ours.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Maybe the Army Engineers can use the corpses to shore up the POS road system. How many R G soldiers does it take to pave a road?

[Redleg Duke]

Nobody ever told these towelheads to never let their mouths write a check their asses couldn't cash!

This correspondent saw about two dozen corpses among wrecked vehicles littering the road north of Shatra, including a bus with its back end blown off and bodies hanging out of the back.

Two dozen corpses qualifies as a "trail of death"? C'mon...

"Two men knelt by the road with their hands in the air..."

Hmm, I didn't think the French were involved in this.
Give 'em hell Marines! Semper Fi.

[BunnySlippers]

Bump

[Moonmad27]

"US Marines Leave Trail of Death on Road North"? There's nothing like Reuters for biased headlines!

[joyful1]

When dealing with militant? Islam, for every one killed, three more are ready to take the dead's place. Big problem we have.

Iraqi small-arms fire had erupted earlier in the town of Shatra, 40 km (25 miles) north of Nassiriya, where the Marines had fought their way across the Euphrates river on Tuesday.

Every general throughout all of history would savage their own grandmother for a ratio of one-kill-for-one-mile of enemy territory.

Fer cryin' out loud, the US military seems to be winning this war with the fewest enemy battle casualties in history, and they're complaining about it!!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

But...but...but...how many PUPPIES were killed!??!

PLEASE, someone inform us about the PUPPIES!!!

Sincerely,

Where is reuters main office? A missile should be used to quiet it, Iraqi TV, and Al Jazeeri.....we should get rid of all of Hussein's propaganda outlets.

U.S. Marines leave trail of death on road north

Sounds like the Marines are doing their job.

With all due respect (any?) for the departed, you don't call the Marines unless you want people dead. They don't negotiate, they don't compromise, and they don't fail. In the words of Rush Limbaugh, they kill people and break things, often at great risk to life and limb.

Thank you, Marines.

Shalom.

I can see the headline on al Jazeera:

U.S. Forces Targeting School Buses

[Robert Drobot]

It's articles like this that are the stuff of enemy sympathizer Peter Jennings, as well as the anti-capatalist Democrat Party, and the anti-America Gorbachev Foundation.

[RightWingMama]

Definition of War - to kill people and break things!
Some of these idiot reporters have not figured that out yet.
