3 U.S. Marines Killed in Fallujah Battle

By NICK WADHAMS, Associated Press Writer
FALLUJAH, Iraq - U.S. Marines battled insurgents in Fallujah on Thursday, with warplanes dropping bombs and tanks shelling suspected guerrilla positions in the heaviest fighting in weeks, erupting as the first residents returned to the devastated city. At least three Marines were killed in the area, the military said.

The fighting was the heaviest in Fallujah since Dec. 10, when seven Marines, three Iraqi troops and about 50 insurgents were killed. The former insurgent stronghold has seen sporadic violence, including artillery and small-arms fire, since the United States captured it in a weeklong offensive last month. F-18 fighter-bombers were seen striking at targets in the city's outskirts. Tank and artillery fire was also heard. U.S. officials said Marines and insurgents were killed in the Fallujah fighting. A military spokeswoman said three Marines were killed in action Thursday in Anbar province, which surrounds Fallujah. U.S. forces suffered the deadliest attack on one of their bases, when a blast Tuesday ripped through a dining tent at a base near Mosul, killing 22 people � mostly Americans. The military was reassessing security measures at bases across Iraq after it was determined that a suicide bomber carried out the attack after successfully infiltrating the base, officials said. A U.S. soldier was also killed Thursday by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, the military said. The deaths raised the number of U.S. troops who have died since the start of the war in March 2003 to at least 1,325, according to an unofficial count by The Associated Press.

Bush Backers made a Suckers Bet

Excerpt: In making President Bush its "Person of the Year," Time gushed that he had successfully "reframed reality to match his design." Ponder that phrase. A cynic might think it a backhanded way of calling him a particularly accomplished liar. Indeed, Bush prevailed in November largely because many Americans simply cannot believe that their president would deliberately mislead them about matters of life and death.
H.L.s Take: They must not be paying much attention, the dumb bastards
