Samarra-US Military Using Weapons of Mass Deception?
Story as told by an Alaskan free lance journalist who is in Iraq to bear witness since the US media isn't seeming to do this...

<snip>
On November 30th, in Samarra, US military officials reported a raging firefight between US forces and resistance fighters. Reports suggested a large, highly organized ambush on US troops within the city by mujahideen and Fedayin fighters. Occupation forces responded fiercely, killing 54 Iraqis, according to General Peter Pace, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Pace stated;

"They attacked and they were killed, so I think it will be instructive to them."

"Were the French happy under the Nazis? It is the same thing here."

"One man in the mosque was killed by Americans from a tank. Nobody knows why they burned all these cars, and why they were shooting here. US troops used small mortar from a tank to bomb the mosque because they hate Islam. There is no other reason -- this happened at five o'clock, and the battle had ended at three o'clock."
