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