Just saw on the news that over 1000 Marines went in there, and met heavy, unexpected resitance. They're reporting over 50 injured and an unconfirmed number dead. Reports are that Iraqi soldiers are in there dressed as civilians and are acting as refugees then attack the Marines when close enough.

Just heard about the video that the tv station there has aired.A Patriot matienance crew got captured and they were all executed and interrogated on videotape.I say we blow all those f-ing ragheads down there to hell.

why would a patriot maintenance crew be that far in iraq?

if this is the same POWs then they weren't executed. but killed in combat.

Just heard the ragheads are conducting "surrender ambushes" they wave A white flag, then when our troops get close enough the jundies open fire. What a bunch of cowards.

initial estimates is 25 dead US soldiers at Nasiriyah.
but that will probably go down...

They were executed Cut.Would you drag a dead body into a building just to take pictures of it???I dont think so.They herded them in there and shot them.

I don't know if they were executed or killed in action. But it makes sense for the Iraquis to film bodies of Allied casualties. They know that the only way of winning this war is by turning US public opinion against it. And the only way of doing so is showing casualties.

Also, It doesn't make sense to execute a few a leave the others alive, since these could testify in a future 'Nuremberg'.
