Kentucky Soldiers In Firefight Near Baghdad, Over 2 Dozen Insurgents Killed

be called patriots . . . that's what they'd be if the US were occupied by a foreign power and "insurgents" decided to fight the occupiers . . .

And sad to see our local KY National Guard troops being put in this situation. My daughter's b/f just signed up (was told he wouldn't have to go overseas....yeah right)

My reply to those who attack my anti-invasion stand with "but isn't Iraq better off without S.H.?" is I think that this country would be much better off without bush, but if another country invaded because of bush even I would probably take up arms against them.

All we know is that a bunch of non-Americans were killed. We don't even know if they were armed, let alone what to call them.

it was probably 2. :eyes:

Lying has gotten so out of hand lately.

We haven't heard much about the Italian journalist's car lately, which was supposed to be shipped to Italy as evidence. Or anything else.

At this rate, IraqNam should be all cleaned up and Murkinized in just a few more decades!!

Freedom fries on the March!!!!

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A Kentucky Army National Guard soldier has been killed in Iraq and four others wounded in separate clashes with insurgents during the weekend.

Spc. Jonathan Hughes, of Lebanon, was killed Saturday when a U.S. convoy was attacked.

The Kentucky Guard said Hughes was assigned to Bravo Battery First Battalion 623rd Field Artillery, based in Campbellsville. He was 17 when he joined the Guard in May 2001, and his unit deployed for its mission in January.

RIP Spc. Jonathan Hughes :(

that kills me the most. Those folks should NOT be there. :(

John Wayne is Commander John Breen who leads a regiment of Kentucky riflemen through a settlement of dispatriated French refugee families. In the mean time Breen falls in love with Fleurette, a French general's daughter.
Black Randolph, a rich and powerful man, also has his eye on Fleurette and will do anything to get her. As the two men battle it out for her heart, Breen discovers that Randolph is involved in a land fraud scheme to get the French settlers evicted and the courtship battle turns into a full scale war between the righting Kentuckians and the French settlers.

the invading and occupying army are called terrorists and the invaders are called the good guys. So suck it up world -- you're supposed to be thankful when we invade and bomb and destroy your country -- and if you dare resist -- why you're the 'bad guys' and the 'terrorists'. Imagine an alien visiting our world and witnessing this. Maybe it will give them the idea that we'd like to be invaded and occupied by them.

US military kills 26 insurgents southeast of Baghdad


BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Dozens of insurgents attacked a US convoy with gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades, sparking a clash that saw US troops kill 26 militants in one of the largest fights since Iraq's Jan. 30 election.

The US military said about 40 rebels opened fire on military police and artillery units from the Kentucky National Guard late Sunday as the Americans traveled along a road 30 kilometres (20 miles) southeast of Baghdad that has seen a recent increase in violence. Six soldiers and seven militants were wounded, and one person was arrested.

After the attack, troops recovered six rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 16 rockets, 13 machine guns, 22 assault weapons, more than 2,900 rounds of ammunition, and 40 hand grenades from the insurgents. The fight is among the heaviest reported since Iraq's Jan. 30 elections.

Also Monday, attacks across the country left seven civilians and three Iraqi soldiers dead.

target on them?

is an insurgent. You know like for some hunters during deer hunting season, anything with 4 legs is a deer.

As in

"if its brown its down".

Packing around an RPG-7 is another.

that person to be insurgents as well. It's damn near impossible to pick off someone who's shooting at you in a crowd of people without killing inncoent people. That was the point of my post.

Don't forget it.
