Guest Trivia247 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 American Tanks are taking fire, but they are replying now with heavier Machine gun....... Marines US and Brits crouch low to protect themselves...the Hostiles seem to be in a building on the otherside of the road.
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Tanks still firing at the building.... American Military convoy around the position.
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 reports from a Captured Republican Guardsmen that across the field there are 120 Iraqi gunmen.
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 and of course the Fox News Paid Col Bashing the English Announcer for his language on his commentary.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 that across the field there are 120 Iraqi gunmen. Prolly a dozen. If I was captured, I'd lie about having a bunch of friends hanging around too.
Guest Trivia247 Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 the Skirism at Umm Qasr is not over. go back to bed!
Guest phoenixrising Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Looks like they called in air support on the position. The planes made a couple of passes, each time you could just hear faint explosions then when I tuned back in there was a smoke cloud, so those gunmen probably got a 1,000 or 2,000 pound bomb as a reward for their resistance. CNN reported that the truck captured had a machine gun on it like they do in Palestine or what the Somalis used to as well. Except, Iraq is supposedly an organized army...well then again this may be the resistance...spearheading the fight against the West with Japanese-built cars.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Some Republican Guard units must be in the area. They either stayed out of sight, or recently arrived.
