| U.S. Marines Say Kill 30 Insurgents Near Falluja |
| 2004-04-24 |
| U.S. Marines killed around 30 Iraqi insurgents overnight in a firefight near the flashpoint town of Falluja, Colonel John Coleman said on Saturday. Marines spotted a small group of armed men, one with a mortar, and shot at them near a small village on the banks of the Euphrates, he said at the U.S. base of Camp Falluja, just outside the town. The insurgents were joined by about 30 others and the Marines called in air support, Coleman, the chief of staff of the Marine Expeditionary Force, told reporters. He said all the insurgents were killed in the action, but gave no other details. Local doctors say about 600 people were killed earlier this month in a Marine crackdown on Falluja following the killing and mutilation of four American contractors. Marines have been ordered to suspend offensive operations for nearly two weeks to allow talks with Falluja civic leaders aimed at restoring peace to the town, but are allowed to shoot back if fired on. |

| #8 BH, I am satisfied only with the rate of jihadi deaths. I am a patient man. I am as patient as they are. That is my strength. I am enjoying that Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mahdi Army, Fatah and all the rest are beginning to meld together publicly. The Transi crowd is correct in its belief that the Palestinian conflict is related to most terrorism in the world. They wrote the check and now the USMC is cashing it 30 bodies at a time. For the next millennia, I want Ummah to remember their lemming generation that died slowly by feeding itself into our grinder, a implement of death that mows down their youths like an unforgiving Midwestern threshing machine. |

| #5 SH, I respectfully disagree. The satisfactory number of expatriated boneheads is, of course, all of them. Maybe I'm just an evil bastard, but I still haven't scratched my 9/11 itch. Iran ought to do it. Maybe. Or Iran and Syria. Yeah, that'll do. |

| #4 I am quite satisfied that we have expatriated a statisfactory number of boneheads to whatever circle of hell they belong in. I think it is hilarious that the media can't get accurate numbers for the purposes of bemoaning the inhumanity of the evil actions of the USMC. |

| #3 It has been 600 dead "little sheet heads" since the first week. You think it really is 10 times that amount? I love the Marines, I think as soon as this Fallujah thing is over people are really going to finally understand that the Marines are the most deadly ground force in the world!! Even with one arm tied behind there backs. |

| #2 There seems to be a SOP developing here. 1. Engage the bad guys. 2. Wait until their reinforcements come. 3. Call in air support. 4. Kill them all. Works for me. |
