| Palestinian, Jordanian gunnies fighting in Baghdad |
| 2003-04-07 |
| The US Army's 3rd infantry division, 2-7 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, is involved in a fierce battle with Palestinian and Jordanian gunmen in the industrial area of southern Baghdad. The people shooting at US forces are using coordinated attacks using RPG's, suicide trucks, artillery, and sniper fire. Two journalists and two military personnel were killed in the coordinated attack by the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters. Military sources are saying that they know from prisoners of war that the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters are attempting to reorganize Iraqi resistance in Baghdad. The military sources called the gunmen "thugs". There are some US casualties, but many more enemy casualties. I'd call their presence an unfriendly act, myself. Perhaps someone would like to do some 'splainin'? |

| #4 I'd be cutting those roads from Baghdad to Amman and Damascus. Roaches go in, but they don't come out. |

| #3 Jordan's King has done so much to help the United States in this war, so it's not much good to consider striking at Jordan. Most of these wayward idiots came to Iraq via Syria. Syria has also been the main funnel of embargoed goods flowing into Iraq. The 4ID, the 1MEF, and the 101st should do a nice 90-degree turn, and start working up the Damascus-Baghdad highway, once Iraq is "secured". Of course, the more of these idiots we pot in Iraq, the fewer there will be to practice suicide missions in Israel, or against advancing forces heading toward Beirut from Baghdad. Either way, it's a nuisance that we will turn to our advantage, just like the suicide tendencies of the Saddam Fedayeen. |
