FN: Greg Kelly:

"I'm surprised to hear that there's another well-orchestrated attack in Samarra. The 4th Infantry Division has been relentless scouring the area...conducting raids every day...doing these raids for months."

"A lot of these fighters could be coming from other parts of Iraq....generally speaking, the insurgents don't undertake offensive operations in their hometowns."

The enemy just learned that it's not a good idea to attack M1 tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles with small arms.
