#2 This is the best coverage I too have come across. Many of these marines just left in February and are on their second tour. These are the same marines that brought over a couple of shipping containers of donated fire fighting equipment and 15,000 frisbees to hand out help win the hearts of some of these folks. This is not the turn of events they had been hoping for but lets hope they get a chance to do some "mind changing" ... These guys and gals are truly "best freinds and worst enemies"

#5 Marines reported killing dozens of insurgents during the long night as tanks and AC-130 Specter gunships blasted away with cannon and Gatling guns at groups of men massing in the city. Marine commanders refused to say how many insurgents they had killed or wounded.

The Specters are on the job (unlike the senator of the same name...)
