CENTRAL IRAQ (CNN) -- U.S. Marine Cpl. Jim Tomlin has gotten to know the subtle signs that might indicate if an Iraqi man dressed as a civilian might be a soldier or Fedayeen Saddam member. But the sign he saw Friday was anything but subtle.

The Iraqi was "crying like a baby," the sergeant said, and Tomlin said the other 30 men on the bus "knew we meant business."
That part kind of caught my eye.

I see way too many of these ziper heads being released after crossing our lines.
I think we should detain all military age men...

Saddam's Saddamites may fight with all their hearts, but Americans fight with all their brains. GO USMC!

Tatoos? We're looking for butt-maps.
All the Viet Nam NCO's are gone now and these young people hope to survive on the remnents of their wisdom passed through a politically-correct filter. That filter had to be didcarded in favor of truth.

I just saw this on my start up pop up. What a great article! I wondered how they were going to be able to tell these thugs apart from those innocent men just trying to do the best for their families, but who have been pressed into service for Sadaam. I'm glad our guys are showing these thugs they mean business. It goes to show you, the Fedayeen can dish it out on those poor Iraqis, but they sure as hell can't take it!!
