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.

What does it mean when it says a thread is locked?

It means it will not longer accept replies. That usually happens when a thread is a duplicate, so there are not two discussion threads at once.

Although every now and then a thread is locked when the conversation just gets too darned heated...

Its about time we got over trying to wage "soft war" on animals who don't let right and wrong get in their way.

[Samwise]

We'd better not do that! They might get mad at us!

and if they get mad, they might ram some planes into our buildings or mail us anthrax or blow up some restaruants or ......

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

That will do it

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.

Allah better keep makin those virgins...

I thought I heard the sound of One Big Can of Whopass being opened. Seriously, it is about time this happened. We have been pussy footing around with these insurgents long enough. The carrott was not working, so it is time for the stick. From and election stanpoint, better to do this now than wait for later.

I have been watching the media hysteria over this and it has been predictable, sadly predictable. The media is calling this another Vietnam. The problem with this approach is that it has NO shock value left. The media called this another Vietnam before, during and immediately after we invaded. Every little blip or difficulty and you can count on Matthews crying a river. By the way, did anyone notice that Iraq really started getting the media's attention again shortly after the jobs report came out on Friday? To be sure, major events are happening in Iraq, but the media's hysteria would lead you to believe that this is all new. In a way, the media is trying to make Fallujuh and this one rogue shia cleric look like they represent every Iraqi City and every shia muslim. Holy Wag the Tet Bat Man!!!

It is also sad to watch Kerry, and Kennedy de facto root for the enemy. Kerry seems to be lamenting the fact that we are handing over power on June 30th. I wonder if what Kerry is really saying is: "no fair, you can't take away my campaign issue!!" Kennedy pronounced this Bush's Vietnam, yet the hysteria he displays betrays his real thoughts, i.e. " PLEASE GOD, MAKE THIS ANOTHER VIETNAM, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE!!!!" Nevermind that Vietnam marked a defeat for the U.S., and Kennedy is cheering for Iraq to be another one.

It’s about time we tear down the shroud of this fake religion that these vermin hide behind!

I hope it was a Hellfire.

"Ahhhh...a much better thread than the duplicate where someone was wringing their hands about how this was going to play out in the Islamic world. "


Islamic World: This sucks! Where are we gonna hide after our terrorist attacks now?

This was Fallujah, north of city
of Baghdad. Sadr is down south -
Najaf, I think. Polish troops just
killed Sadr's top aide, in Karbala
I believe.

The reaction of elected Democrats is a given.

[isthisnickcool]

What's the big deal? If the Mosque was destroyed it was "Allah's will". Nothing happens unless "Allah" says it's cool don't-cha-know.
