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.

Now they can reconstruct a "church or synagogue" on that vacant lot.

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

They'll Call Jihad On Us! (wait a minute, they already did)

[astounded]

It's about time. Now, if we can find that loud-mouthed, tubby little pus-nut prick "imam" and send a 2000lb JDAM down his throat, with a couple hundred or so of his brave muslim "men", we'll be on the way to demonstrating something real to the muslim pus****.

It's sort of like the game Whack-a-Mole. When he shows his ugly face, whack it.

Islamikazis use mosques as armories. Hit a few and they'll explode real good.

Taking bets now on how long it will take for the first pious @$$ to show up and tell us how abominably wrong we were to do this...

Love the tag line!

[Trust but Verify]

I agree, and I'm glad to see we aren't going to play these games with terrorists running into mosques where they think they'll be safe. They're cowards. Kill them all.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

YES!!!!!!! I bet those smiling, laughing animals are second guessing their actions from last week now.

... bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.

Excellent ... of course this will be the lead news item on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN ... how the nasty, uncaring, insensitive U.S. Marines destroyed the mosque while innocents were at prayer inside.

[dennisw]

Islam is the barracks religion and the Mosque is where they brainwashed into Jihad and plan their offensives.

[RGSpincich]

GWB, the right man for the job.

Mosque hit during fighting in Iraq
Updated: 04-07-2004 08:15:41 AM

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - 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.

They say the mosque was hit by rocket fire from a U.S. helicopter.

Up until that point, reports indicated that at least 30 Americans and more than 150 Iraqis were dead in the fighting for the city -- the scene of last week's brutal killings of four U.S. civilian contractors.

Anti-American violence intensified and spread to cities in northern Iraq on Wednesday as a U.S. helicopter went down and a Marine commander confirmed 12 of his men had been killed in fighting west of Baghdad.

Good, now bomb the rubble.

I second that motion.

In fact, after we bomb the rubble, dig 'em up and shoot them again.

Kill 'em real good.

Show 'em my motto!
