Insurgents ambush US convoy in Iraq (Mosul)
http://www.theage.com.au/news/Breaking-News/Insurgents-ambush-US-convoy-in-Iraq/2005/01/12/1105423552449.html?oneclick=true

Insurgents ambushed a convoy of American and Iraqi forces in the northern city of Mosul, detonating a roadside bomb in an attack that killed three Iraqi national guardsmen, the US military said.

The troops were bringing heaters and other supplies to a school when they came under attack on Tuesday, a military statement said.

The convoy was hit with a roadside bomb and then sprayed with gunfire from a nearby mosque. Three Iraqi troops were killed and six were wounded.

No Americans were reported hurt.

1. bringing heaters and other supplies to a school
Don't forget the fuzzy bear toys they were bringing too.

I guess "THE NATIVES" weren't throwing flowers or kisses on this day.

More of the same

Some young person from Des Moines or Santa Fe will die this week because of this folly.

4. Why would you have to send an armed convoy ...
to bring heaters and school supplies to a school? Sounds kinda fishy to me.

2. Didn't the cm air this yesterday
I saw it on NBC--seems they had a reporter imbedded with this group. He said they were transporting heaters. They actually showed some of the attack and soldiers tending to the wounded.

6. A convoy of Heaters for children at schools - God the Guerilla's are evil!
Yes its Winter in Iraq and all the Iraq'i children at school are getting cold! I wonder why?? Although Kirkuk oilfields are just around the corner."There thinking about joining the Guerilla's" -some US psych-ops brain has deduced!!! Do a survey, if possible, Done survey - Their "friggin"cold" - Get a convoy of "heaters" to Mosul quick smart!!! Little Ahmed tells Mummy and Daddy that "The Liberators" are bringing heaters to replace the oil- fired burners we had under "Saddam" as we are getting very cold in class. Guerilla's find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Convoy "Fucked"!!! So Basic! But luckily the Guerilla's only kill Iraqi's!!! US soldiers are amazing- no wonder we fear you in the "Rest of the World" - you are protected by some greater God! I think "Bushco" talks about this alot. Can you please tell "The Rest of the world" the great US secret!
