U.S. forces have arrested 35 pro-Saddam holdouts in connection with last month's rocket attack on Baghdad's Al Rasheed Hotel, a senior American officer said yesterday.

The former regime loyalists were tracked down after two weeks of painstaking detective work and surveillance, the officer said.

"These are Iraqis. They are not foreign fighters.."

It will be more of a problem in the months ahead unless the intelligence gets better

And what are the traitorous Dims in the Intelligence Committee doing? Using it as a Bush-bashing forum instead of doing what they are supposed to do to garner a better intelligence posture and save American soldier lives.

When I first saw the headline, I thoght that the U.S. was cracking down on Labor Unions in Iraq :-)

"The military started scouting out welding shops. At one metal shop in the Mansur district, they found pieces of metal painted the same royal blue as the rocket launcher. The shop's walls were painted the same color."


Bump!

I was tossing and turning all last night.
I was trying to remember where I'd seen that same shade of blue.
And then it hit me: right here in your shop, Mr. Achmed.
