Looters killed in blast at ammunitions site - Iraq
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 04:16 PM by dArKeR
Baghdad - Around 20 people trying to loot an ammunitions dump in south-western Iraq were killed on Sunday when the arms exploded, a Polish military official said.

"Attackers entered the bunker and the bunker exploded, we estimate about 20 people were killed," Lieutenant Colonel Robert Strzelecki, a spokesperson for the multi-national force in southern Iraq, said.

"They wanted to loot and steal ammunition from the bunker."

Further on the story says, 'it's impossible to guard all ammunitions sites'. Well if you believe this then you should volunteer to be eaten at the next White House meal. Did you forget how we watch the Media Whores air all the demolition troops going in and spending all that time and labor to blow up single pieces of equipment, including vehicles so that they couldn't be used in the future. And the embedded Media Whore explaining to the Sheeple how important this task is! And now, still, months later the Media Whores tell us that it's impossible to secure concentrated ammunition sites. Sources of material open to the public which are being used to murder dozens of our children at a pop?

Oh my Jesus Lord! All you people sitting watching the Super Bowl are so unpatriotic you don't deserve to be in the United States! You are more guilty than Junior, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Powell for not doing enough to protest and/or writing/calling your media on a story like above!

I'm sure this story makes the families with children/husbands/wives in Iraq feel good on this Super Crap Sunday that Rumsfeld is giving ammunitions to terrorists to kill our children!

2. A few days ago, 7 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan died this way
Now, 20 looters/attackers in Iraq. I suspect that in both cases, these were traps that the victims were lured into by the other side. Probably, this one was revenge for the Afghanistan incident. I suspect that the two conflicts are becoming more and more intertwined in many people's minds.

For anyone who is interested, this sort of thing went on among Canadian and German troops in Ortona, Italy, Christmas 1943.

And yeah, I know this is wildly speculative. Call it a hunch.
