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 *** hole,
and he yelled back: 'Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton
are miserable *** holes'.
"We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us."
