<snip>Nearly three hours later, three soldiers were wounded when their vehicle was attacked in Falluja, she added. Witnesses in the town, 30 miles west of the capital, said a land mine hit a U.S. military convoy.

Residents gathered near the scene, chanting anti-American slogans such as "Burn, burn, you infidels."

8. Yeah.....
we liberated the hell out of the Iraqis. We'll make damn sure they're free if we have to kill every damn one of them doing it.

2. You mean they weren't throwing flowers as Chalabi and Rumsmelled promised?

Oh my. I guess those flowers are being stored in the same place as those Weapons of Mass Destruction, that is to say in the land of make believe. Winning hearts and minds yessirree. This is one sick nightmare. But oh that's right criticizing the miscreants that plunged us headfirst into this abyss is bad according to Uncle Rummy. We must only think and say pleasant thoughts about Big Brother's War against Eastasia.

7. I GUESS WE HAVE A LOT OF POWER
Over their minds

The image of some one here saying

"You are getting sleepy, you are getting sleepy", comes to mind.
