Egyptian men plead for help as US Marines of the first Division enter a building in the western part of Fallujah, Iraq, Saturday, Nov. 13, 2004. The three men claimed could not flee the city as one of them fell ill. The US Marines gave them food and water and took them out of the city.

The earlier Marine patrol had left rations for the three, but the Egyptians apparently had not understood it was food, or how to open the thick brown plastic pouches. The men had not eaten for days. Boyce and his squad kneeled with the men, splitting open the packs of wheat bread, processed cheese and chocolate milkshakes, which the Egyptians devoured with trembling hands.Aw, this brought tears to my eyes...I'm so proud of our guys...

Anyone dressed as Iraqi Nat'l guardsmen or Iraqi police that attacks coalition troops should be executed.

What medical care? according to most media reports medical care is virtually nonexistent and the hospitals are full of civilian casualties.

Marines use plastic bands called flexcuffs on the detainees' wrists, wrap cloth around their eyes and lead them out into streets filled with broken glass, shrapnel and concrete shattered by bullets or bombs."
LOL! allah must be so proud of his surrendering army of terrorists.

The problem the first time thropugh Falluja was too many young men surrendering and then turning on us. Anyone in uniforms of Iraqui police who arent Iraqui police should be executed as spies.

It's hard to believe the three starving men woulnd't have the curiosity or intelligence to open an MRE.
To: mdittmar
They also have captured men in Iraqi police and military uniforms. Yeah, in the picture today that shows the two dead bad guys, one of the dead guys has the blue police shirt and what looks like body armour vest on. jerks! They are getting what they deserve!
