| World Photos - AP A vehicle believed to be a U.S. ammunition truck explodes, in this image made from television, after it was attacked in Fallujah, Iraq, Sunday morning Oct. 19, 2003, 35 miles (60 kms) west of Baghdad. There were no reports of casualties. Hope the photos and link work right. Check-out the guy in the lower left,dumb-ass is hardly the word. Dozens of Iraqi youths cheered and danced in celebration as contents of the flaming vehicles continued to explode. The crowds scattered when two F-16 jets passed overhead.Iraqi youths hold their rifles as they celebrate in Falluja, northwest of Baghdad, after a U.S. Army ammunition truck was destroyed, October 19, 2003. Guerillas killed two American soldiers overnight and blew up a U.S. ammunition truck on Sunday, as Iraq’s U.S.-appointed Governing Council called for an end to ’conspiracies’ threatening stability. Damn sure would have been cool for a 105mm shell to cook-off about this time. |

| #4 Old Patriot >>> Have you gone mad???!!! Killing all of those innocent people with chain guns "until the barrels melt"? What the hell is wrong with you??!! Why melt the barrels and waste ammo when we can carpet bomb with napalm. We're working on a budget here, remember? |

| #3 We keep hearing about Fallujah. Why hasn't the 4th ID done an urban renewal cleanup of this cesspool? I think I'd impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew, patrol it in Abrams with Bradley and Apache back-up, and shoot first - period. When the citizens 'protest', go through them with a few Bradley chain guns working until the barrels melt. If it takes, more than twice, destroy the entire damned city. These people don't want peace and freedom. Let them have the alternative - death. |
