"Americans are unbelievers, and Saddam Hussein is a Muslim. This makes me even more angry at the Americans," said 14-year-old Mohammed Qassem, to a chorus of agreement from the crowd.

I think this little punk is frequently quoted.

Considering that Saddamn slaughtered more Muslims than anyone in modern history, I'd say these folks need to stop drinking the kool-aid.

"They heard high guys, but they didn't know how high," said Granter, of Merryville, Ind., an engineer with the 326 Battalion of the 101st Airborne Division who took part in the battle.

Minor detail - that should be Merrillville, Indiana, which is located in NW Indiana right near the Illinois border.

"Soldiers fanned out in the neighborhood and evacuated families from surrounding houses"

If this really was a six-hour long battle between four guys and 200 American troops
with TOWs and helicopter gunships...
I'm sure that wherever movie director Sam Peckinpah is, he's saying something like
"And people thought my last battle in 'The Wild Bunch' was extreme!"

It sounds as if someone is trying to renege on paying the reward to the fellow who guided them to that very spot. It was reported that he guided them there for the purpose of finding the sons. $15 million times two is quite an incentive.

I guess we will have to wait to see what story suits them best.

History is lies agreed upon.

Compare this 7/23 AP article to a 7/22 AP article posted this morning (written by George Gedda).

Whereas Gedda accuses the US of political assassination of the Hussein brothers (under the guise of a news article), this article points out clearly that the military folks involved in the battle didn't even know it was the Husseins.

Whereas this article clearly points out who shot first, the Gedda article takes a "who-cares" approach to who shot first as long as the US got its ultimate end-game.

Folks should write to the AP & lift up Price & Tarabay's article as a shining example compared to the shoddy editorial reporting of George Gedda.

I thought Saddam wasn't a muslim.

[aSkeptic]

they did good

[snopercod]

According to the American press, our soldiers can't do anything right.

What would the press have our soldiers do? Ask, "Excuse me sir, may I see your ID before I shoot you?"

Ann Coulter is right, they are traitors.
