A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Basra when
they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and
unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an
American Marine in similar but less serious state.
The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was
given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured
Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving
north along the highway here, and coming south was a
heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both
took cover in the ditches along the road.
"I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein is a miserable,
lowlife, scumbag, and he yelled back that Senator Ted
Kennedy is a good-for-nothing, fat, left wing liberal drunk.
So I said that Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts
like a frigid, mean spirited woman and was as ugly as a mud
fence!"
He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well so is Hillary Clinton!"
"And, there we were, standing in the middle of the road,
shaking hands, when a truck hit us."
