A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujiah when they came upon an Iraqi insurgent, badly injured and unconscious.

On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state.

The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent.

We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him, "Saddam Hussein is a miserable, lowlife scumbag", and he yelled back, "Ted Kennedy is a good-for-nothing, fat, left wing liberal drunk." So I said, "Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian!" He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!"

And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us".
