With all due respect, arasina, we don't know that. We do know that the enemy placed an IED in just the right spot and got two squads in an amphibious vehicle. Some captain needs to answer for that. The fact is, the enemy got smart and lucky and scored a hit. You have to give "credit" where "credit" is due. Underestimating an enemy will get good Marines and G.I.'s killed.

That being said, I have every reason to believe that the officers and, especially, the noncoms in that battalion are in the process of using their own considerable smarts to turn luck in our direction.

Believe me, I am very sure it will not be a good thing to be a Qaedist in Haditha over the next few days.

Won't be much left for Terrorists to celebrate in the next couple of days.

It's about time that the Marines will be turned into "Angels of Death" which some conscript Iraqis soldiers called them during Persian Gulf War back in 1991. (Especially during the retreat from Kuwait into Iraq, also known as the Highway of Death)
