Circling a tank sounds like a way to meet Allah at a very high speed, IMHO.

Delusional would be the appropriate term, IMO.

It's hard to believe that mujaheddin could take armored vehicles. This must be nonsense. Right?

I don't believe a word of it.

Speaking of Jenny Lynch, how much of her story was 'bull?' I recall hearing that the reports of her fighting were greatly embellished.

What was the final word on her adventure?

Fox has an embedded reported in Fallujah. Don't you think they'd know and broadcast it, if it were true? So far, it sounds like they've been doing fairly well (knock wood and more prayers).

They should be told that sympathy can be found in the dictionary between Sh*t and syphilis.

I don't think 36 campfire girls would surrender in a M1 Abrams tank, much less US MARINES! This is such a joke that I can't believe that drudge took it serioulsy enough to report it.

exactly what I was thinking - wouldn't the rest of the column go to the rescue? unless they had some immediate and essential objective. But 36 well-armed combat-expecting Marines are a formidable force - they'd take a bunch of jihadis to their eternal destination.

Much of the Lynch story was the result of rumors the media took and ran with. MSNBC actually admitted that the stories were overblown rumors.

Absolutely. To surrender is to die. Arabs like to put out BS for the ignorant followers. If they believe it, the T's consider it a victory. I don't believe it, So THEY LOSE.

If you threw 5 American children into this story I'd swear it was an Islamicist Penthouse Forum letter.

No Cakewalk for US Forces against 'Lions of Fallujah'

Source: JUS | 7:23:02 AM EST

As the Fallujah show down continues, reports coming in the late hours and early this morning clearly indicate that yesterdays opening offensive by US and Iraqi forces, dubbed Allawi’s Army, was no cakewalk. Thirty six American soldiers were captured, American supply lines attacked, over a hundred “guardsmen” surrender to Mujahideen, several American aircrafts downed and Mujahideen pushed US forces back in two main entry positions.

Here's an item from this hokey website.

Okay, anyone really believe this

Just typical bad comedy from those guys.

The small Marine Shanghai garrison surrendered without a shot at the very beginning of WW II but they were surrounded by a million japanese.
