Palestinian, Jordanian gunmen fighting in Baghdad
By CAROLINE GLICK
Baghdad
The US Army's 3rd infantry division, 2-7 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, is involved in a fierce battle with Palestinian and Jordanian gunmen in the industrial area of southern Baghdad.
The people shooting at US forces are using coordinated attacks using RPG's, suicide trucks, artillery, and sniper fire.
Two journalists and two military personnel were killed in the coordinated attack by the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters.
Military sources are saying that they know from prisoners of war that the Palestinian and Jordanian fighters are attempting to reorganize Iraqi resistance in Baghdad.
The military sources called the gunmen "thugs".
There are some US casualties, but many more enemy casualties.

How convenient for all our enemies to congregate in one place to die. Saves us the expense of transporting all our troops and equipment.

More proof that Iraq has/had ties to terrorists. Every nation represented by these foreign fighters needs to be carefully examined. It seems they brought their own weaponry from their own countries and know how to use it.

Send them back, one way ticket.

Figures the Palestinians would add their 2 cents worth, along with the Jordanians.
Pardon me for abandoning reason and decorum, but I hope they all get blown straight to H*ll.
I bet they wont be dancing on the street tonight in Palestine, celebrating US deaths. Now its our turn to dance.

They're just worried their source of funding is going to be cut off. And it will, VERY shortly.

The Iraqis are becoming more French every day. These fanatics are the equivalent of the French Foreign Legion which are all nonFrench.

We should see if we can ID some of the Palies. I'm sure their houses back home would have a date with an armored bulldozer.

If Palestinians are fighting on behalf of Saddam Hussein, then they must face the consequences.
No Palestinian State, and an American repuditation of UN Resolution 242 would be an excellent start, IMHO.

I have a pleasant thought to share: Wouldn't it be great if these "jihadis" find out too late that the 72 virgins they are to be rewarded with are all 85 year old Catholic nuns!!(just a fun thought)

Depends on what you mean. Are these guys there on order of the PLO?
Does this mean we cut off relations with Jordan?
Probably not, and no.
