war gets dirty, this is lame and stupid because this will only be detrimental to civilians and other injured who are being givem medical services.

desperate people do deperate things, iraqi soldiers using ambulances, Us soldiers attcking civilian vehicles becuase theyd ont know which one will ambush them.

net result is the same..innocent ppl get screwed over in the process.

Wait a minute, I would like this to be confirmed by an independent source... You know what I mean the fall of Basra the surrender of 8000 Iraqis the rise of shiites the capture of Iraqi general the execution of british soldiers and the list goes on and I would not like this list to grow.

Did I make you mad? Likely was propoganda.

Its good that they are in the ambulance, in case they get hurt, they don’t have to call one. Very smart people indeed!
