Guest Jobber of the Week Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest phoenixrising Report post 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 Report post Posted March 23, 2003 Some Republican Guard units must be in the area. They either stayed out of sight, or recently arrived. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
