Palestinian, Jordanian gunmen fighting in Baghdad

By CAROLINE GLICK

Baghdad

The US Army's 3rd infantry division, 2-7 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, is involved in a fierce battle with Palestinian and Jordanian gunmen in the industrial area of southern Baghdad.

The people shooting at US forces are using coordinated attacks using RPG's, suicide trucks, artillery, and sniper fire.

Two journalists and two military personnel were killed in the coordinated attack by the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters.

Military sources are saying that they know from prisoners of war that the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters are attempting to reorganize Iraqi resistance in Baghdad.

The military sources called the gunmen "thugs".

There are some US casualties, but many more enemy casualties.

[Mister Baredog]

I don't appreciate both of you slamming the Catholic Church

My comments were not intended as a slam on the Catholic church, but I ask you where else one would find 85 year old virgins. This thought I had was meant to offend those whose goals are the pursuit of such ambitions as attaining 72 vigins from Allah as a reward for martyrdom.

[Mister Baredog]

Its a two way street. Its high time we recognize who the enemy is.

Watch for the Baathists in Syria to do everything they can to undermine any new Iraqi government. I agree with you about Arafat, that's why "W" has refused to deal with him.

Palestinian and Jordanian fighters

This is the Palestinian PR effort to win the hearts and minds of the American people to their cause.

Palestinian terrorists, including Arafat, have never lost an opportunity to lose an opportunity.

Instead of keeping their mouth shut, Palestinians have been vocal supports of Saddam Hussein, and now they are part of the few "dead enders" fighting American troops.

Pathetic.

Don't you mean 72 Virginians?

[Mr. K]

Saddam was supporting Palestinians. Sucicide bombers got a $30,000 check sent to their family. That is better than winning the lottery here.

How many U.S. morons would kill themselves for 1 million dollars sent to their families? THAT IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE OVER THERE.

And the U.S. just cancelled the lottery...

Ms. J....Those pics! You owe me a new monitor and keyboard... plus a half glass of beer!! :- ))

From "Malpaso" News, Mustang sends w/ hugs and Best FReegards.

[Enemy Of The State]

hmmm..the "palestinians" sure aren't doing a very good job of gaining US support for their "cause" by sending their cowards to Baghdad to fight against us. Maybe we need to send in a few more Israeli tanks to the Gaza Strip...

[Monty22]

Well duh.. Why do you think they made it?

The thing is I don't compare or morally relate islam with Judaism. The former being a violent death cult and all.

[JDGreen123]

Agreed! Hurry, Hurry, Hury. You can't get your 72 virgins until we punch your ticket. You win (so you think) and we win. Let's help each other meet our goals.

[Illbay]

I don't believe that Islam is a "death cult" and I don't believe that Jews run the world.

Go figure.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

These Islamokazi thugs will find out that fighting American Soldiers in combat is lethal and non rewarding.

Message to Palis and other Jihadists in Iraq:

"Due to higher than expected demand, all of our representatives are currently busy servicing other customers. Your business is important to us. Please stay where you are, and our military will see that you needs are met at the earliest opportunity. Thank you, The United States Armed Forces."

[Grampa Dave]

To these Islamokazis, Please take a number, get in line and STFU. Your turn will come quicker than you think!

[Darksheare]

The Qu'ran states to kill infidels.
That means you and I.
They also take verious passages in it to mean that if they die while killing us, they are martyrs. (There IS a passage that says exactly that.)

It IS an insane death cult.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"Come on in boys, Allah has something for you!"

Do they still get their 72 virgins if they are crushed to death under the treads of an M1A1 tank? Just curious.

[LincolnLover]

If we wanted to "kill a Commie for Mommie" during the Cold War, do we now want to "kill an Arab for Dad"?? LOL.

[flying Elvis]

It's better to have this fight on neutral turf rather than us being the visitor or even worse, the home team. Let them come attack our armies in Iraq now, rather than our civilians here.

The Iraqis are becoming more French every day. These fanatics are the equivalent of the French Foreign Legion which are all nonFrench.

Formerly a technical requirement, but one that was widely ignored. Even the Legion's traditional marching song Le boudin identifies the Legion's troopers as les Alsaciens, les Suisse et les Lorrains. And it's a good bet that the accents of a good many of the *Swiss* Legion enlistees owed more to the streets of Maresilles or Paris than to those of Thun, Basel or Bern.

Nowadays [since the mid-1970s] about a third of those in the Legion Etranger are of French nationality.
