An injured Marine...
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!"
He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well so does
Hillary Clinton!"
"And, there we were, standing in the middle of the road
shaking hands, when a truck hit us."
