Rope-A-Dope

A UPI report says Iraqi troops were pounded with airstrikes and artillery fire after falling for a strategic trap set by U.S. Marines.

This is my favorite quote:

"This is miserable. This has got to be the ass-end of the world," Lance Cpl. Gregory Moll, from Harrisburg, Pa., commented.

This UPI writing style is very graphic, very descriptive. I like it. It sounds like war reporting from Vietnam.
