U.S. confirms skirmish at Iranian border
http://fairuse.1accesshost.com/news1/houston-chronicle1.html

"(They) were in fact shot and fired upon by what were believed to be personnel wearing uniforms resembling those worn by Iranian border guards," Kimmitt told a news conference.


"The U.S. soldiers took self-defense measures and returned fire, and soon after that broke contact.


...more...

I think somebody is trying to create an "incident". Now just WHO
might be interested in further invasions...?

4. actually, this story
was posted here late last week......
same story - funny that it is dated March 15

I have scanned the major news wires
hoping someone would pick this up
many people think that the US 'planting' WMDs
is just another conspiracy theory

but I, for one, wouldn't put it past them

6. 28 attacks DAILY by "insurgents" - that's alot, no ?.
.
.
.

I didn't bother reading THIS posted article, I was responding to a post that had the article RIGHT FROM THE DOD, but someone locked it

anyhoo -

Here's it's a little "snippet" buried in the article:

"Kimmitt reported the past week has seen an average of 21 daily engagements against coalition military forces, four attacks daily against Iraqi security forces, and just over three attacks daily against Iraqi civilian targets."



...................................................................

And that's what the DOD is telling us,

so, why do I suspect that it's alot more than that? :shrug:
