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.

Fixed your typo:

Nice kill ratio. Need to bump it up to about 12,000,000:1 though.
:O)

It is said that Satan is the Lord of the Flies. Satan's spawn are maggots. Terrorists are nothing but maggots. I have a feeling that there were very few, any innocents inside that mosque.

No hole is deep enough to protect them.

This is why we invented the BUNKER BUSTER, in honor of their cowardice for these killers of innocent women, children and civilians.

We should have respected the Mosque as a holy place of sanctuary, waited patiently to have it fill with hundreds of fighters........

and then bombed it. ;-)

I just heard that on Fox. Two Western reporters have been captured. No news on what media outlet they are from.

I am curious, do women go to the mosques? I have never seen a pic of a woman in a mosque?

On another topic, I am daily more convinced Kerry will not be the dem nominee. I can't quite piece it in my mind but he looks unhealthy, sounds insane and is a loose cannon. I think he will shortly remove himself.

Arkancide?

Sean Hannity was discussing this yesterday. Glad to hear it. You can't have it both ways. A place of worship can't be a sanctuary and a sniper post.

They do but they have to sit separately from the men. Jim Crow style.

FoxNews say Pentagon confirms capture of 2 reporters in separate incidents.

Sadr's aide can't tell a reporter from a Marine.

I second, third, and fourth that! War is war, and let's just finish these (so-called) people off and bring our boys back home
