Hopefully just Arab street bluster..

The two stations refused to air the tape for 'security reasons.'
In other words, it didn't happen.

I have a hard time believing they would just get out of their tanks and surrender. They have to know what these people do to POWs.

Can we get a little corroboration from a source a little more neutral?
To: gopwinsin04
If true, seems like incompetence.

I thought Marines would fire until their ammunition gave out and then fight with their rifle butts. It's hard to believe that mujaheddin could take armored vehicles. This must be nonsense. Right?

Drudge already has a similar article posted from a Chinese wire service.

I don't buy it.
If you had a choice between maybe getting hit by an RPG in a firefight and definitely getting your head sawed off by a dull machete, which would you choose?

Can't imagine there's a POW camp inside Fallujah which is secure for the jihadi types. There's essentially nothing they can do with prisoners as their ability to hold ground diminishes.

36 Americans were captured in an Industrial neighborhood yesterday on board three tanks and three armoured jeeps, when the Mujahudeen encircled them, isolating them from the rest of their column.
Pure, unadulterated BS, IMO.

Seriously, why are women on the front lines in a battle like this? Is there a shortage of enlisted military people? I would by lieing to say that I'm not a little ashamed of myself right now...

I will say one thing for certain ----
IF they were surrounded by jihadist murderers and they did not erase the scumbags from the face of the earth, they were NOT Marines they're talking about.
Marines NEVER surrender!

This is a total crock of sh1t! Yeah, like 3 M1-A1s are gonna fold to a pack of rabble...Never "misunderestimate" the Arab imagination. Their glorious accomplishments are unlimited within their own tiny little minds.

It is expected that visuals will be posted to the web in coming days. In the "coming days" these vermin "insurgents" will all be dead.

three tanks and three armoured jeeps, when the Mujahudeen encircled them Seems a bit unlikely that a trio of M1's and three uparmored HMMWV's, armed with everything from individual weapons, medium and heavy machineguns, to three 120mm cannons, would surrender to 20 guys in pajamas. And I doubt there are any female GI's or Marines involved in the Fallujah combat operation.
Show me the video, Akbar.
