#1 Three vehicles of armed attackers arrived shortly afterward

Why would anyone approach a Marine outpost in an unarmored vehicle? Stupdity or Fanaticism? Or yes?

#4 Ship, my guess is that the yahoos thought they were screened, and probably were, from direct fire but not from observation. Hence the use of mortars to take them out.

ALthough my buddy Occam agrees with Howard that drugs and / or stupdity is pretty likely, of course.

#5 Howard does bring up an interesting point. There are occasional stories about drugs in the region. I would not be surprised to learn that a lot of these guys are whacked out on something other than the local Imam's ranting.

#7 What a waste of perfectly good Lebanese Hash Oil and Black Temple Ball!

Tactics and Strategy. Even Drug-Enhanced Tactics and Strategy don't seem to be strong points with Sadr's Tater Tots!

November's six months away. Do the math. These A$$holes with AKs can sustain such losses very much longer.

Especially when President Bush wins again!
