31. It Was Not An Ambush
Larry Johnson via Daily Kos:

It Was Not An Ambush

<...>

What happened to a squad of the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division in the Mahmoudiyah area is something worse and more disturbing.

<...>

The attackers did not pop up out of spider holes nor did they fall from the sky. They moved against a fixed, defended position. The most likely possibility--the U.S. soldiers were asleep and did not spot the attackers. They apparently did not have time to even call for help over the radio.
