#1 What were the Marines doing dressed as Iraqi soldiers?

Another point of usage...always capitalize "Marine".

#2 typical defeatist spin from the tokyo rose nytimes--dammit this invasion should have been perfect--no deaths-no wounded no problems--like an audie murphy movie--fuck them--btw those stolen uniforms made an appearance on the back of the "insurgents" posing as captured as iraqi forces to crush the morale of those guys--times guy belittles the iraqi guys motivation--the msm is workin' for the enemy--this times guy should be embedded with a nail hammer

#3 Don't you love the admiring tone in this story?

"That progression, too, seems to have been part of a plan by the rebels. How well it has worked is open to debate, but the 50-man platoon that lost the marine on Thursday had nine other casualties as well - a stunning rate of 20 percent in a single day - all a result of the rebelsâ skill. "

A "stunning" casualty rate? This guy can't be serious, but of course, he is.

Asshole.

#4 Now we know why those 'Iraqi soldiers' were turned away from the camera in that latest video purporting to have captured 21 Iraqi troops! It was staged, with the perpetrators really being insurgents in simulated coalition uniforms!
