Fox was showing some cell phone video as well - unclear if it was this battle or an earlier one...

I have to admit I was completely wrong on how hard I thought they'd go after the militias, based on some past history. I am pleased and impressed. I never thought maliki would support this as much as he seems to. I still wonder about it though.

I thought they said that cell phone footage was of one of our choppers going down.

With any luck, they have the ones running with their tils between their legs for Iran trapped and are killing them also.

I thought so as well, but was afraid to say that in case I heard wrong - (plus, I tried to rewind my DVR and accidentally goofed.)...

Rumor is that Maliki doesn't have much to say these days. The tribal leaders seem to have joined together. My guess is they finally woke up to the Iranian threat.

I hope they're wrong, too. Too much of that these days.
