WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Bloodied U.S. battle fatigues believed to be those of some of an ambushed Army maintenance unit were found in a hospital in Nasiriya, Iraq, according to a Pentagon official.

The uniforms, found by U.S. troops who took over the hospital, appeared to have had their name tags and flag patches ripped off, perhaps to hide the identity of their owners, the official said.

Hopeful thought - suicide bombing works for the palestinian terrorists because they live so close to millions of Israelis - a lot of targets with no protection.

The Saddamites dont have that advantage. Every 'target' has a flak jacket and can take out anything remotely threatening. So trying to bomb your way against an army that is well-protected like ours is will have no major impact.

Should be required reading for every American, IMO.

For Iraq being the "cradle of civilization" the Iraqi's of today seem to have degenerated into savage barbarians. I was under the impression it was Saddam who was the saddist, but it's looking more and more like he's got hundreds of henchmen who are as brutal and saddistic as he. I saw the "torture room" on TV, and it was the W.V. woman's uniform they found in there. Looked like they hooked her up to a car battery. I pray she died quickly. And that they will too.

Pray for all our POWs and Heroes.


IRAQIS SAVED BY AMERICA (as is our way)
US Navy able seamen saved the Iraqi sailors from this sinking/sunk Iraqi fishing vessel, the Kaptain Muhamad.
Heroes on the Navy Destroyer USS Gary in the southern Gulf took time out
to respond to a radio distress call rescuing eight Iraqi fishermen..
Would the Iraqis have done the same?



Heroes of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit
giving water to a dehydrated Iraqi. Would they do the same?.


In the desert, American valiant heroes treat Iraqi POWs with respect (unlike the evil Iraqis)..


========= American Heros (Many Many Not shown) =========


Pray for all our POWs and Heroes.

You're welcome.

The news about Iraqi atrocities should be dominating the headlines in this country, IMO.

I'm positive it is at the forefront of our troops minds.

The see no-evil anti-war swine will doubtless say that this is not evidence that torture was used.
