My point exactlly.

Can Canadians join the US Miltary if they get their citizenship?

WRONG. We have had 1, yes 1 marine die in combat, and everybody else who had dies was in accidents.

Yes.

No, now the count is at 4

*Update*

You guys hear about the guys in kuwait that got blown up by Iraqis with grenades?

10 wounded, 6 seriously.

I believe casualties are something like this now..

2 in fighting near oil fields and a village near Basra
4 killed when their Hummvee were hit by RPGs in an ambush today.

Totals for accidents and combat is 7 American and 14 British in last report from CNN.

You forgot the Marines that died in the chopper crash, there was four I beileve. And there was a chopper collision today, with 1 american and 4 Brits I think. So your number is wrong...and I havent even heard about the RPG ambush.

Right now, they said terrorists penetrated into the 101st Airborne base and use hand grenades... 10 wounded, 6 seriously... damn, could it be al quada?

You are right Vance I forgot about that one..its so hard to keep track of everything that is going on...

The 4 in the Humvees took place about mid morning/afternoon....They were traveling in 2 Hummers with 2 per vehicle when Iraqis fired RPGs at the Hummers destroying them...

I also I saw a video on CNN of a suicide car bomb that was set off in Iraq destroying a checkpoint and killing a TV news cameraman..The US said that it was done by an Iraqi terrorist group said to be linked to Al-Quaeda.

Well now they are saying the 4 that were in the humvee are injured and not dead

Well thats good to hear...

Now they are saying that an American Soldier is being detained in connection with the grenade attack on the 101st.

I hear a 101st officer has been arrested over the grenade affair.

I also heard that the ITN newscrew was fired on by allied tanks because they entered a combat zone. IMHO I think they got wasted by the allies and the Generals are covering it all up. If they were killed by allied tanks then it would be all over the news and the anti war freaks would have a field day.

I spose we will found out in due course.

It was some 101st guy, pulled the pin threw it into the command tent and shot the guys coming out, they got him in custody, found him hiding in a bunker wounded. And i thought the 4 3rd ID guys in the hummers died.

why would he do it?

They say battle stress, or some shit like that.

No excuse. He should be shot for treason.

The New York Times is reporting the 1 soldier was killed and 13 wounded.
Also they are saying the soldier being held is a sargent, and a muslim convert.

I think this thread should be locked, since it is obviously abiding by the rules, but has been replied to by people who don't?

An ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commision) cameraman was killed by a suicide bomber driving a taxi cab, way up in the north of Iraq... near the border with Kuwait...

If anyone cares, I'll post the articles later...

If your in IRC than u already know the decent sized skirmish the Marines are having. If u aint in IRC than u are missing a nice battle, live footage of tanks blowing the hell out of a building.

Why fix something when its not broken? I dont think it will see more than 15 more years of combat, after all theres new technology coming out all the time.

There is no easy way to say this so ill just right out and say it.

Ah fuck sake not again.

Dammit! I hate when things like this happen. For God's sake. . .I hope they stay tight and a feeling of mistrust doesn't erode performance. The Brits and Americans are going to need to remain a cohesive force. Resistance is stiffening as they get closer to Baghdad. God be with those pilots and their families. hake:

10 US soldiers apperantly are being held as POWs by Iraqi troops.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/ ... index.html

Oh sheet.

Yeah, the guys made a wrong turn heading to a maintenance assignment. If the Iraqis have any sense, they will treat those prisoners fairly, like we have been treating their prisoners. God help them if they cross the line.

Which they will.

They executed some of the prisoners already. According to people who have seen the tape. Gunshot wounds to the head.

The Tornado pilots are MIA, it isnt confirmed if they are KIA. So WHY did one of the british commanders say "we will put this behind as as quickly as possible and contnue with our objectives"

Shouldnt their priority (at least for the brits) be to find the pilots?

A searce and rescue team isnt going to hinder the advance.

it was nice to go away for a weekend and get drunk

after hearing and seeing that, its hard for me to put on the news now
if that doesnt make you pro war i dont know what will

Does anyone have footage of the al jazeera tape? im trying to find it hake:

omg ed: al jazeera http://www.aljazeera.net/news/arabic/2003/3/3-23-23.htm poor bastards, i feel sorry for all these poor guys. God help those that are alive and being tortured.

since that site is so far away it takes 4ever to load so if u wanna see i hosted the pics i found on their site http://picturencrap.freeservers.com/images/pow.jpg

What a shame. Those guys were executed...you can see from the pics that they were deliberately shot after they were captured. Thats the problem with fighting a country like Iraq....they have no morals. You can bet that the Iraqi POW's are being treated fairly.
Those pics were shown by that arab news station on purpose as to shake the coalition moral while boosting the moral of Iraqi soldiers. It certainly was a tough day for the coalition but they'll press on and get the job done.

Whatever your political views, you should pray for the innocent victims and soldiers.
