I thought Marines never retreat in battle. But today I observed a Marine running away from the insurgents with the look of abject fear on his face. ( Or was that a cowardly look?) The Insurgents looked like something out of the flintstone age and they ( Insurgents ) only have basic weapons but are kicking the Marines butts all over the place. Amazing.

I'm searching of how many enemies we have created to hate us with their passion. I have a feeling any year now, all of our enemies will unite and fight us. Till the world falls in peace.

Do you agree with the war against terrorism? Do you understand the decisions made by Bush and the US government? Do you agree with the anti-war activists?

Why do you believe that for a second, taking a stand against terrorism is wrong? Do you really think that we should just sit back and hope that the other countries follow our lead? Don't you think that makes us vulnerable to more attacks? These groups like Hezbollah and the Taliban want to kill ANYONE who is not muslim and ANYONE who is jewish or american. Just because you held a sign reading "STOP THE WAR ON IRAQ!" doesn't mean that your life will be spared when confronted by terrorists attempting to take control of our country. You care so much about innocent women and children being killed, but you have no consideration for the fact that those "innocent" people (excluding those under 13) would be more than happy to see you blow into five million pieces just because you're American! Yet, you still protest because our soldiers are dying. That's what happens in war! Its horrible yes, but contrary to what you may believe, that soldier who died, may have just saved your life!

and rally around "Code Pink" and other supporters of Cindy Sheehan, if/when terrorists attack S.F., or another earthquake devastates them, should the rest of the U.S. just laugh in their face and say "too bad you don't want any military support!"??

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Canadian troops narrowly missed death and serious injury when an American jet dropped a 225-kilogram laser-guided bomb on their position earlier this month in an incident frighteningly similar to the friendly fire attack that killed four Canadian soldiers in 2002.

Soft ground prevented a bloodbath, soldiers said of the incident the military has kept quiet.

Pte. Rob Adams, who was kneeling five metres from where the bomb landed and was completely engulfed by the fiery flash, received a concussive head injury. He was airlifted by helicopter to hospital at the coalition's Kandahar Airfield base.

His condition was assessed as very good and he has been released from hospital, said Canadian Forces Maj. Marc Theriault.

Although 17 Canadian troops were within 45 metres of the blast, and shrapnel splinters up to a half-metre long littered the farmer's field where the laser-guided bomb hit, nobody died. But nearly a dozen soldiers were blown through the air.

"We heard it coming. What went through my head was, `I can't believe they bombed us,"' said one soldier who had been standing just over 10 metres from the impact point.

Another soldier, 25 metres away, was smashed so hard to the ground that the edge of his helmet was pushed in. He is still suffering severe headaches from the July 8 incident.

The explosion blasted a different soldier three metres into a mud hole.

The incident was all too similar to an attack by a U.S. F-16 aircraft that killed four Canadian troops during a training mission near Kandahar in April 2002. Eight other Canadians were injured.
