Marines bomb Fallujah mosque
Herald Sun (AU) ^ | 07 Apr 04 | Staff

US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.

The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.

"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

Witnesses in Fallujah say as many as 40 people are dead after U.S. forces apparently struck a mosque filled with people while doing battle with insurgents there.

40 combatants....

"Wesley Clark said the U.S. should have "heard him out", instead of attacking Sadr."

Yes I bet he would explain how he worked with the KLA.

FoxNews reporting that, per Pentagon, No US or Coalition troops have been "kidnapped" [taken hostage?].

Good news!

As far as I am concerned all so-called "mosques" are targets if people with AK47s and RPGs are hiding in them and using them as so-called protection. If you are there, you die there, that simple. The leftist in this country certainly would bomb a baptist church to kill a bunch of red necked conservatives that voted republican!

Are really dirty/20 kton nuke from an UMV crawling out of the Red Sea? Green glass and real terrorism courtesy of the US of A? Leaflets in Arabic taking the claim? What would be their reaction then? A thought to entertain anyway....

And here I thought he had taken the job of Kerry's press secretary. Do you suppose he's moonlighting?

(Certainly there's no conflict of interest)

Bulletin to all terrorists!:

Please use Mosques to conduct all your operations from as well as group your combatants in.......(Our F-18 & Cobra Pilots love the way they fill up the HUD)
