SOUTHERN IRAQ (AFP) - Three US troops were wounded , one seriously, after Iraqi soldiers used a Red Crescent ambulance to stage an attack in southern Iraq (news - web sites), an AFP correspondent reported.

The Iraqi troops in Monday opened fire on a group of American soldiers who had approached the ambulance at a town north of Nasiriyah.

The seriously injured soldier would be evacuated, while two others were undergoing surgery at a captured air base, a US air force source said.

They are taking all the plays from the Viet Cong down to the Palestinian Bas&^%rds. History will vindicate this military action stronger than Normandy.

Same tactic used in Isreal to smuggle explosives.
We are dealing with Barbarians.

Anyone wonder where the Palestinian terrorists got their training?

If AFP reported this, you can bet it is about half of what really happened.

The Iraqui scum remind me a lot of the DNC: Just when you think they can't fight any dirtier or behave more dishonorably, they come up with something new.

Arabic Frigging Phoney news is about as bad as Reuters!

Target the ambulances.

Jihadist scum do not respect hospitals, ambulances, mosques. Target them. Maybe they'll respect them then.

It was reported here (from NRO I think) that a top Palestinian terrorist was killed during bombing raids in Baghdad and the only reason we knew was because the Palestinians wanted to fully celebrate the death of this martyr. Hussein's Iraq is a cesspool for terrorism of all stripes.

This attack strategy has twin goals:

First, to catch US soldiers off-guard, obviously yes, but also to provoke US soldiers to have doubts about the innocence of by-standers strong enough that US soldiers attack innocent vehicles, thereby providing legitimate anti-American propoganda.

"History will vindicate this military action stronger than Normandy."

Nope, not Normandy.

Animals are better.

[concerned about politics]

And the Democrats are afraid the Iraqi terrorists "might get hurt".
