#2 Man, they've quoted some serious nutjobs in that article. Granted, these are the same people we've been fighting, but why quote only them.

From one of Sadr's clerics:

Sheik Raed al-Kazimi said that "the enemies" are deceiving the Iraqi people by trying "the despot Saddam by an illegitimate court."

"It's an outlandish issue, to incite strife," he said, adding that "Saddam is neither a Muslim nor an Iraqi, because he attacked (Shiite) Islamic holy sites and killed Iraqis ... Saddam deserves execution."

Not content with just the Shiites view, let's hear what the guys in Fallujah say:

"Sheik Ahmed al-Issawi told worshippers at the Al-Sadeeq mosque that the Americans humiliated Iraqis by showing Saddam on television before a court.

"We'd rather have Saddam back, as his oppression is better than the Americans' oppression," he said. "Anyone who accepts showing Saddam this way on TV screens, has no zeal for Iraq and Islam."

Sure. Now go f*uck yourself.

#3 "'We'd rather have Saddam back, as his oppression is better than the Americans' oppression,' he said. "Anyone who accepts showing Saddam this way on TV screens, has no zeal for Iraq and Islam."

Who would have thought that Michael Moore would go all the way to Fallujah to promote his new film?

#6 Yeah amos54447799992000. Yeah man!

But I did hear some crazy stuff today on AM radio, dateline Seatle, live fron Iraq, Lt Brian Suits got his bell rung.

Lt Suits is doing nation building duty, a trained arty guy. Yesterday he was showing around a Westpoint Major on summer sabatical, where else, Iraq man, it's vacation.

Anyways, Brian takes this guy to his area and pulls into their parking lot. Brian braged that his parking spot was the only one that had shade from the only tree there.

As they left their HumV the Major asked "Where's the latrine LT?" LT, a few paces ahead of the Major, turned back to him. In that split second, as he turned around, an 81mm mortar hit ten feet away. The blast, due to it's angle of impact spread it's shrapnel in such a way as to miss the LT. He only got blast waved.

The Major, who was about fourteen feet away, got hit, he's hurt but going to be okay. Some vacation?

Eye witness' said that the LT disapeared behind a cloud of black smoke, they thought all they would find would be hamburger. The LT was knocked out for a short period but was quickly revived and, due to training, began to excavate the impact area to determine the direction of the incoming. " it's personal and if we can find the enemy". Apparently a skilled arty guy can determine, by putting the peices of the puzzle together, the direction that it came from. It's like a science me thinks. What sya you anon929885736366?

Soon his buddies told him that, shit LT, you need to get over to the candystrippers for some tape. Aparently he had most of the parking lot gravel on.

Funny the way he put it. "You know when somebody is telling a combat story they use the preamble, This is no bullshit!

He was able to talk to the Major and stressed that when he gets back to Westpoint that he tells the cadres that you can be ten feet away from an 81mm and live.

He also said that the day after, today, he feels really beat up all over and a little distapated.

But no Purple Heart. Nope.
