"They are trying to trap us with the rules we follow ... They blanket themselves in the grey area of war," the officer said. NOT ONLY ARE OUR OFFICERS GREAT SOLDIERS, THEY ARE ELOQUENT AS WELL.

The marines said that rules of engagement had been eased to allow the readier use
of tanks and artillery.
"Sir, unleash us!"

Nice to hear someone note that not only do the Islamics use our civility to
kill innocents here...they do it on the battlefield to kill our soldiers as well.

God Bless our Boys. GIVE EM HELL!!!
Without stating it explicitly, we should just send a modern day version of
"Nuts" to the thugs, like
"Our rule of engagement: watch the movie Speed and you'll realize what our
policy is about your use of shields, human or otherwise."
(In otherwords, we'll make their shields irrelevant, as we'll shoot them if needed.)

I want to see a Congressional Medal of Honor come out of this action....I can't say why, but it seems like a good time to herald our troops in this manner...

An AFP correspondent said he saw a dog pulling at one body which had been in the sun for at least 24 hours.

Intelligence reports said Friday that insurgent snipers were taking positions in mosque minarets
Why dont we just replace those towering minarets with six-inch tall piles of rubble?
It absolutely has to happen. Is there some sort of minimum number of dead marines were waiting for before we do it?
How many dead US politicians would it take before we'd flatten them?

In the squalid streets lying between the US troops and insurgents, bodies could be seen, left where they fell as relatives were too afraid to recover them for burial. Burial? When did they start the practice of burying the dead in that city?

If they've counted 300 dead and 500 wounded, that means the actual toll is probably higher.
The salamikazes can't sustain losses like that -- but I hope they try.
