FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


FORMER IRAQI GENERALS DETAINED, WEAPONS CACHE DISCOVERED

Al FALLUJAH, Iraq – Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, captured two former Iraqi Army general officers in an early morning raid in Fallujah Nov. 4.

The two generals are suspected of being key financiers and organizers of anti-coalition fighters operating in and around the city of Fallujah.

Also, soldiers from 1-16 Infantry, attached to the 82nd Airborne Division, discovered a large weapons cache in a raid following the generals’ capture. The cache consisted of 225 rounds of 60mm mortar, 20 rocket-propelled grenades, and 100 rounds of .50 caliber machine-gun ammunition.

Bump! Congratulations to our forces in Iraq. Tom Daschle and Howard Dean are saddened, very deeply saddened at this good news.

Looks like the 82nd got some payback for the attacks around Fallujah. Keep up the good work!

I hope we are applying a "permanent" solution to these clowns

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

Amen.

... And Lady Liberty began to read from her tome ...
"... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ..."

I imagine that the life expectancy of murderous terrorists in Fallujah is measured more closely in hours than in years.

Did you read Ralph Peter's column in the NY Post..either esterday or today...masterful...says we have got to start kicking ass with these guys in the Sunni triangle...

[McGruff]

Some good news out of Iraq. Watch the mainstream media bury this.

I heard MSNBC report this at the top of the hour. Of course they had to go right into another story of soldiers failing to return to Iraq after their leave.

[Principled]

I hope no members of the 82 end up scaring or offending the captured prisoners of war. They could end up being court martialed.

When these idiots started bombing their own they began to seal their own fate with the locals. They are singing and will continue to do so.

[Hootch]

WE ARE NOT MAKING PROGRESS IN IRAQ. WE ARE IN A QUAGMIRE. THIS IS ALL OUT FAULT.

Congrats to all our brave men and women in Iraq that are proving the nay-sayers wrong on a daily basis.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[Coop]

I already read that article. Good stuff. But did you catch the irony that you pinged me on a thread detailing more offensive operations by our forces?

[Principled]

It was my intent to ping you on an article that talks about being aggressive in the Sunni Triangle.

No irony. It's what I said that you ridiculed me for.

[Ogmios]

All I can say is good job for our guys, now we really need to take this war to the guerillas and take care of them once and for all.

Take the war to them and they chicken out and flee like cowards.
