Get 'em!

I hope our boys are putting the terror back in this war.

Kill the combatants and put the rest in to submission. Then we can get to the work of civilizing these people.

DoD recap of the dangerous security work accomplished by our troops, with the help of our Iraqi allies, while the enemy was attracting the attention of the press ~ again.

Sounds like a productive day to me.

Periodic tallies of captured enemy weapons & ammo are nice... but it'll take more than that to win the war & keep the American people's support for it. Just like daily body counts of NVA & VC killed didn't do the trick during Vietnam.

At some point a tipping point has to be reached that denotes a visible sea-change in the Iraqi condition. I don't know what that will or should be. It's just that the daily counts of captured weapons alone won't change anything.

They read like the periodic news reports of huge drug busts in the War on Drugs.

On the bright side: It's not always obvious when you're reaching a tipping point. The surface reality can look static even as the underlying reality is changing steadily. Then when some threshold is reached, the surface reality changes quickly. So we could be moving towards a true victory in Iraq; it's just hard to tell, even after you factor in the under-reported DoD news releases.

The fact that they had to resort to donkey carts as their weapons platform is encouraging, though. :-)

OTOH, they used them to great PR effect - almost as if they studied the Viet Cong. (Has Walter Cronkite's memoirs been translated into Arabic? Jane Fonda's?)

So...the big attacks are from donkey carts with fizzeled out missles? Does anyone suspect that they are running out of weapons, machinery and cash?

BTW, 11/26 is when the last Taliban stronghold fell to the US. Kind of makes me wonder if these truly evil people are going to tie 11/26 the fall of the Taliban, with 11/26 the end of their Ramadan and do something nasty to one of our major cities. Hope those geiger counters are working well.

Rockets apparently launched from donkey carts

WELL WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD FROM THAT WORLD FAMOUS ORGANIZATION, PETA, ABOUT THESE POOR ANIMALS BEING USED FOR THESE DEEDS, OR IS IT OK TO ABUSE THESE POOR DONKEYS AS LONG AS THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL US TROOPS?

[Map Kernow]

May the blood of the terrorists become a mighty cataract, thundering down to the unquenchable flames of HELL!

Go get 'em, boys!

One suspect provided information on more weapons during questioning, the command reported.

Only one? PC rules for interrogation are killing us. Otherwise, excellent work!
