creating a powerful vacuum that literally sucked guerrillas out from their hideaways into the street Story by Kieran Murray of Reuters. This is what happens when they don't teach physics in colleges of journalism.

Some U.S. soldiers estimate that at least 1,000 Iraqis were killed here since the fighting began at dusk on Wednesday, and everyone puts the number in the hundreds Awwww....isn't that a pity? (/sarcasm)

Officers say just one U.S. soldier has died.Oh stop, you...you... bully! (blowing into hankies instead of Yankees). < /sarcasm>
Reuters reporters are having heart palpitations and vapors. That should have been at least 1,000 Americans that died.

People make fun of the French, but afaik the only military success enjoyed by the Arabs was against the Turks in World War II--and that was ONLY because a young English Officer, T. E. Lawrence, was in command.
I can see why. These people have no more idea how to fight than the Plains Indians in the Nineteenth Century American West, who thought hitting a horse-soldier with a coup stick was the ultimate in bravery--then he got shot right off his horse.

This "sucking" action is something I have never heard of before. But then again, I understand the world is "flat" too. Think I need some more verification on supporting tank fire.

Is the tank commander having a litle fun with the reporter? It sounds like a Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill kinda deal to me.

Not to sound naive, but if we keep destroying their armor and they don't use Chemicals.......this may the best they can offer....

I'm assuming that Kieran Murray is the author of this article. If that is the case, this person is an idiot.

You can tell that the Reuters reporter is quite sad that only one American soldier was killed.
They clearly sympathize with Saddam's supporters.
