A squad of Marines were driving up the highway between Basra and Baghdad.

They came upon an Iraqi soldier who was 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 ass hole."

Then he yelled back: "Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy, and Bill Clinton are
miserable ass holes."

"We were standing there shaking hands when a truck hit us."

Cheers!
