6 Marines, scores of Iraqis killed in fierce battle
BY RON HARRIS
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
HUSAYBAH, Iraq - (KRT) -
Six Marines were killed and scores of insurgent Iraqis slain in a
fierce 14-hour battle Saturday between Marines and mujahedeen fighters
who slipped into this town near the Syrian border.
According to Marines, an estimated 300 Iraqis from Fallujah and Ramadi
launched an assault against the Americans in Husaybah around 8 a.m.
local time, beginning with a roadside bombing and a flurry of 24
mortars.
When Marines responded to the bombing, they were met with small-arms
and machine-gun fire as they neared a former Baath Party headquarters.
Marines responding to the call for help were mortared and strafed as
they made their way into the city.
Additional Marines then joined in the fight.
Fighting continued late into the night as Marine Cobra helicopter
gunships strafed enemy positions near a downtown soccer stadium and
Marine helicopters continued to take wounded to their main base 22
miles away at Camp Al-Qaim.
At least nine Marines were injured and about 20 Iraqis captured,
Marines said.

The article was an example of the excellent work the US Military is doing in
Iraq.
Hanoi Kerry's little stunt is going to backfire big time.
Tempest
What, getting themselves killed?
You're a fuckwit.

Keep sniffing around Kerry's crotch, dumbass.
Start doctor shopping for your OxyCotin, you'll need it come November.

Now the US Military has saved 20,000 in Jordan for the cost of five
Americans. There is now proof that al-Qaeda has WMD, probably from Iraq.
Tempest
No, probably from Bush's ally Pakistan.
Pakistan is a well-known terrorist supporter.
Tarver Engineering
Pakistan?
You can wish for a little while longer.
John Kerry is the wrong guy.
Tempest
It's not surprising you're ignorant on Pakistan's WELL-REPORTED ties to
terrorism.
> John Kerry is the wrong guy.
What the fuck does this have to do with Kerry?
You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Kerry.
I recommend you get professional help.
Or better yet, shoot your sorry ass self.

Is Iraq even a legal war? No
WMD~Misrepresentation, Breach of Contract and Fiduciary Duty as in
"Broken Promises" Fraud upon the Public, Fleecing of tax funds, hidden
agenda of political gain, money made from war, Manipulation of Supreme
Court Judges to not be "Fair and Impartial" Canon 3 ,other abuses of

April~Nearly summer and out of a war of wits I see the fool's
dust-tongued bell
tell soldiers to wait, stay ,drive around and walk 3 more months of
stupid conflict for nothing but some guy's re-election to impress his
father, 3 more months of ambushes from a distance how stupid and
pointless and wasteful
for this stupid project I would look up www.objector.org and get advice
on getting out now or sooner,
~
nothing is impossible in Iraq but reform~as Oscar Wilde says.. but near
the ancient rivers
lies Nebuchadnezzar hanging garden's
with the boys of summer in their ruin
driven by phony propaganda
playing on patriotism
just like Viet Nam
~
so get a lawyer and get out or you may be wasted in a fool's game for
his fame
which is really lame
and there go more widows and
more ruined lives gone like the outsourced jobs gone with the cargoed
apples in their tides
under the dumb flame
