A squad of Marines were driving up the highway between
Basra and Baghdad. They came upon an Iraqi soldier
badly injured and unconscious. Nearby, on the opposite
side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar
but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and
alert. As first aid was given to both men, the marine
was asked what had happened. The Marine reported; "I
was heavily armed and moving north along the highway.
Coming south was a heavily armed Iraqi soldier."
"What happened then?" the corpsman asked.
"I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable
piece of Crap, and he yelled back: "Tom Dashle, Ted
Kennedy and Bill Clinton are miserable pieces of
crap." "We were standing there in the road shaking
hands when a truck hit us."
