Doesn’t this translate to " arrested hundreds of terrorists" ? The fact that most terrorists out there are Arab seems to be missed in the article. But I think, you know that, right?

You need to face the fact, gnjsdad, that we are going to win this thing.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A roadside bomb attack killed five U.S. Marines and gunfire killed an American sailor in a western Iraqi town, the U.S. military and Iraqi officials said Thursday, as an upsurge in rebel violence battered American forces.

The Marines died Wednesday after their vehicle was attacked near Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad, the military said. Officials in Ramadi had reported a roadside bomb blast in the pre-dawn hours.

A sailor attached to the Marines’ unit, the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, was also killed Wednesday in Ramadi by gunfire, the military said.
