Militant group video taped killing of 10 Marines

To be able to set up a trap of such a large quanity of ordance and to be able to video-tape the explosion has to involve a tremendous amount of assistance from the general population - you know, the ones we are supposedly 'democratizing'! Which is it in Iraq? Is the 'insurgency' just a few 'resistors' as George Bush states or is it the violent wing of the 80% that wants us out? Either way, we should withdraw immediately. If the insurgents are only a small minority like Bush says they are, then the Iraqis should be able to fend for themselves. If they're 80% of the populace, then what are we 'freeing' them from? Get out now!
"An Iraqi militant group posted a video on Saturday which showed what it said was an explosion against a U.S. patrol near Fallujah that killed 10 U.S. Marines. The U.S. military had said 10 U.S. Marines were killed near Fallujah on Thursday. The group, the Islamic Army in Iraq, is among several insurgent organizations battling U.S. troops and Iraqi forces. The brief video shows a Humvee, flanked by what look like U.S. troops, traveling slowly down a street when an explosion engulfed the vehicle, sending clouds of dust into the air and bystanders fleeing. An off-camera voice was heard saying "Allah is Great" repeatedly. The video's authenticity could not be verified but it was posted on a Web site generally used by insurgents to claim attacks. Al Jazeera television had earlier aired the video. An accompanying statement by the group said it had also killed and injured other U.S. troops in a battle on Saturday in Duluyia, a town north Baghdad. The group also claimed the killing of three U.S. soldiers in Nassiriyah. Analysts say the Islamic Army in Iraq is believed to be linked the Saddam Hussein's deposed Baath party".
