".....vehicle was destroyed while another insurgent fled the scene"

That's what the 30mm chain gun is for. Wouldn't be the first time.

So when are we going to get rid of Iran? Seriously. I’m sick of hearing about the steady stream of Iranian-trained terrorists. Time to do something about it, or this crap will never end.

I’ve noticed that the US military has taken to referring to insurgents as “criminals” rather than terrorists or jihadis.

For some reason this reminds me of the Commie governments calling all opponents bandits and criminals, and I find it vaguely disturbing.

While there is no doubt much overlap, I’m sure there are purely criminal mafia-type gangs running around Iraq and tangling with our forces. Lumping these in with the religiously and/or politically motivated types seems to me to obscure an important distinction.

We’re fighting believers in a particular ideology, not just criminals out for loot and power.

A woman and child in the vehicle also were killed.

Must be one of those "bring a child and wife" to work days...

And what is with these guys? I thought they were proud warriors fighting for allah against the infidels... so why do they hide out in churches and behind the women and children?

“Hellfire Missile Kills Insurgent, Destroys Vehicle in Baghdad.”

How sad......I hope it wasn’t a Chevy!
