Somewhere on the battle field in Iraq there was a US military surgeon imbedded with a unit. A heated battle had just taken place and there was, among the wounded soldiers, one that was critical, with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
They quickly set up a makeshift tent and emergency surgery was performed. The soldier was stabilized and flown to a hospital where he is expected to survive. This person was an Iraqi soldier.
This story will never be told on Al Jazeera or in any other Arab news media. This is the United States Military in action.
