I wonder why this appears in one AP story but not in the one above?

"In Qaim, near the Syrian border about 200 miles northwest of Baghdad, U.S. troops backed by tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles clashed Sunday with Iraqi gunmen. There were no reports of casualties. Residents said gunmen attacked the Americans in retaliation for a U.S. operation against suspected smugglers the day before."

Yeah, sure there were no casualties. Translated, no American Casualties and a whole lot of dead Islamdumbos.

Thanks for posting this interest tidbit.

Foxnews just had a short video clip on this!
Heard firing and showed Bradleys rolling down the streets!
