Tales Of Brave Ulysses

I won’t bother to reproduce the photo that runs with this article, it’s pretty gruesome:

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) – US troops fire off another volley of shots amid the trashed houses of Fallujah, hunting down new adversaries carrying a potentially deadly weapon that threatens to plague reconstruction efforts.

But this time the marines are not chasing down the insurgents who they defeated in a devastating assault on the city last month. Their quarry is stray animals grown fat on the flesh from corpses and who could harbor rabies.

While Tropical Storm Talas proved a wash out today, the National Weather Service says additional storm system brewing. Nothing definite though, just a lot of clouds brewing over Kosrae on the Guam satellite loop.
