FALLUJAH, Iraq - Although the ferocity of insurgents is generally attributed to religious fervor and a hatred of America, Marines who participated in the November assault on Fallujah say many of their foes also had something else to bolster their tenacity: drugs.
The Marines say they found numerous stockpiles of needles and drugs such as adrenaline and amphetamines while battling insurgents in the fiercest urban combat waged by U.S. forces since the Vietnam War.
In some homes used by insurgents, crack pipes were found, the Marines say.
Senior U.S. military officials in Iraq say some of the drug caches discovered during the Fallujah offensive had an estimated street value of several thousand dollars.
I'd be on drugs too if I had to face the United States Marines or Army......for sure
Interesting, probably a case of take the shot or else.
Great. Al Quida on crack.
If I had to take on the U.S. Marines you can damn well bet I dope myself up with whatever I could find.
Meth Ice.
LMAO. As if those crazy mofos needed anything else for their already demented brains.
I don't doubt it for a minute. See if I remember history, correct me if I'm wrong. The English word assassin comes fom the Arabic word Hashishim. A millenium ago, the poor young men with no prospects and no wives were hopped up on drugs and sent off to murder at the behest of the local warlord with promises of great rewards in the afterlife. Is there anything new under the sun?
They couldn't have been using crack to help them fight. People doing crack just sit in a stupor or at most engage in sex.
Wasn't that also true of the Moros in the Phillippines?
Funny that in Islam they are not allowed to drink wine, but see no problem with shooting up for Allah. The hypocracy of Islam knows no bounds. And if they have thousands of dollars worth of stash, poverty is not their problem either.
So what is Islams problem, does it hate just "because"?
God forgive me.
This is not funny but I can't help but laugh at this statement.
ROTFLMAO!
I knew there must be something in common.
Oh, right. There both crackheads...
That "Night of the Living Dead" image is creepy. What a nightmare world our soldiers are in! Maybe they should just blow the insurgents into pieces. It's a lot harder for body parts to keep fighting.
ROFLMAO...
Indeed! Good point. Besides, I'm sure Allah condones it somewhere in there....
So where's that puke breathed embedded reporter that was so outraged at a young Marine's close range kill shot???
Yep, NOWHERE!
Semper Fi
I think you've got it.
