Marines engaging Hezbollah & PLO in eastern Baghdad
2003-04-08
From The Command Post.
The strongest resistance to U.S. troops in the eastern half of Baghdad is coming from foreign fighters, including a few hundred members of the Palestine Liberation Army, MSNBC reported Tuesday, citing reporting by one of its reporters embedded with the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force. MSNBC cited Israeli sources as saying some of the foreigners were probably recruited in Lebanon and then sent to Baghdad via Syria. There are members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization among them, and some may be members of Hezbollah, MSNBC said.
Go get 'em, Marines!

#10  How is it that people who don't even have a state actually have an army on foreign soil? Wipe 'em out. Any that are accidentally left over can be shipped off for a loooooong Carribean holiday at Gitmo.

#9  These morons still seem to think that all you need to kill US Marines is a truck load of explosives and human guidance system. The Rules of Engagement have changed and they're not the rules that the morons are familiar with.

#8  I hope the Marines don't stop when there's 281 dead Hezbollah fedayeen. Maybe a brief pause for ululation, but don't stop...

#7  Oooo - this could be sweet, indeed. I like the idea of direct payback. Sigh. Why is it that when the really clean fight, one with such clarity that there is no doubt in anyone's mind, comes along I find I'm an old fart. It. Really. Sucks.

#6  It took 20 years, but payback will be final.

#5  If ever there was an opportunity to avenge the Beirut barracks bombings this is it! Shoot for the belly, Marines! Make 'em suffer!

#4  Orson Scott Card, a democrat hawk, said it first (at his "Ornery American" website): - we should have started with Syria. That pipeline nation has to be shut down.

#3  Truly, these maggots need to be pulverized. Flesh flayed, bones crushed and ground into dust. No corner of hell is hot enough for these scum.

#1  If this is true, these people have gotta have some devastation laid on them. Take a few prisoners, for some intel and then to go home and tell the tale, but wipe these people up.
