BAGHDAD (AFP) - Marines arrested six members of the Iraqi Civil Defence Corp on suspicion of involvement in a roadside bomb attack in western Iraq (news - web sites) that wounded five locals, the US military revealed.

The six, along with an Iraqi civilian who ran out of a nearby building after the blast in eastern Ramadi, 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of Baghdad, carrying hand grenades, were taken to a coalition base for questioning, a US military spokeswoman said Wednesday.

.....this is all of the article for now.

4. I wonder how much we spent

training and arming our own insurgents? What a racket.

If the US is incapable of providing even the most basic level of security for the Iraqi people, then it is time for us to go.

5. Those whom the Gods would destroy,
they first drive mad.

And this, my friends, is madness. America was a great country. Too bad it isn't around anymore.

9. and "terrists" too!
I loved how he never looked up from the script bremer gave him. He must think the Iraqis are as stupid as the muriKans. Though, perhaps it was purely for the US audience.
