The locals are rapidly getting tired of the terrorists and wanting peace and are turning them in.

To be fair, they are allowed to keep one AK-47 for self defense.

Time for some summary judgements on guys like this. Leave them lying in the front yard as a lesson. Need to interrogate thoroughly. Since they have children, they can be exploited fairly easily, I bet.

True enough, and they can have a doorbell ringer for ringing doorbells, too. So call me cynical.
If it were me I'd be telling them the Tooth Fairy left it there...

Bumping!
And they will find the weapons of mass destruction in the same way.
Hidden away in some Secret Garden.

Agreed.
And it will be funny if, a year or so from now, some Iraqi says something like
"Sure, I turned in my neighbor, the terrorists. I didn't want him to accidentally
blow up our city block. Plus, he and his buddies were always coming by to hog my satellite TV...
and the worst thing was...they always switched from FOX News to CNN!"

>Troops also discovered an apparently newly-bought wireless doorbell set
We need to buy wireless sets of this type available in Iraq, study them and then transmit likely signals to trigger the IEDs ahead of time.

You don't think they thought of that?

We just got rid of Saddam - we don't want to become him!

a show of force the U.S. military calls "harassment and interdiction" of local militants. Oh, not H&I again. One of the most retarded boondoggles of the Vietnam War... firing at random, to show the enemy you can fire, and harass him that way. Sheesh... the guy who thought this up majored in football... it the days when it was sissy to wear a helmet.
The guy who brought it back needs a thorough beating with a clue-by-four.
We do not want to "harass" or "interdict" the enemy, gentlemen. (What, "harass," have Arnold grope? Or "interdict," like we do with illegal aliens? O brother). We do not want to annoy or inconvenience the enemy. We want to KILL the jeezly enemy. We want to fold, spindle, mutilate, slay, massacre, mangle, maim, disarticulate, annihilate, liquidate, incinerate, and destroy the enemy.

That really made me run to bathroom, it was so funny. Made to watch CNN would make anyone talk. Way to go troops.
To: Bombard
The key sign for me that the war is being won is that the bad guys are having to bribe people to attack our troops. That shows that we are not fighting a broad-based nationalist movement, but rather a mafia that has to pay hitmen in order for them to carry out attacks.

"You have a smoking gun in your hand," Russell told one of the arrested men who, according to a U.S. army interpreter, had protested: "I just sell wood, I sell shoes. Saddam is my enemy."

french wireless door alarm ping
To: Dialup Llama
Yea, but what about all those door bells chiming all the time? What a nuisance! It could be done. LOL!
To: 11th_VA; Ragtime Cowgirl; Grampa Dave; eureka!
Unbelievable. I fell asleep with the TV on, and woke up at 0330 to news reports from Iraq. Was this mentioned?!? Of course not. What was?
-More soldiers killed (R.I.P., brave warriors)
-Obstructionist nations angry at contract ban
-Sunni and Shi'ite anger/riot at funeral
The media is absolutely disgraceful. < / rant >
Hearty applause and two thumbs up for our fine fighting forces. This was a very successful mission!
