Update on Iraq...(some are not in media yet)

Bogdan via my Brother

[Cap Huff]

". . . Iraqis in Fallujah . . ."

I take it they mean the terrorists?

[Keith in Iowa]

>>>CNN is saying the Iraqis in Fallujah are losing BIG..

If CNN says it, it must be true.... (/sarcasm)

[Coop]

Tony Perry of the LA Times on CNN embedded with the Marines in Fallujah......is reporting the CAPTURE of 50 Syrian Fighters in Fallujah.

Well, well. Looks like they may make it easy for us.

God bless our troops - American and all coalition forces!

Tet was exaggerated

Not for the end game, it wasn't.

[Miss Marple]

Pentagon report from Fox coming up.

[Savage Beast]

"Spanish, Ukrains, Bulgarians, Polish"

How can this be? The "Mainstream Newsmedia" and the rest of the Democrats said that the U.S. is in Iraq alone. Surely we can believe them...can't we?

[Dog]

There was sadness in Hemmer's voice when he reported it...:-)

[Aeronaut]

CNN is saying the Iraqis in Fallujah are losing BIG..

They're idiots for taking on the Marines. But, that's a good thing.

Prayers for the troops engaged.

[leadpenny]

No, he was saying by staying out of the city it allowed all this to build up.

[Amelia]

Is he saying that because the 82nd stayed there they PROVOKED this?

My take was that since the 82nd didn't deal with it sooner, the USMC is dealing with it now.

I call my brother on normal phone, he has SAT and call his friend who is in Iraq. I know that guy, he is best friend of my brother, and he is there life.

God Bless.

I will get more info later, some stuff should be already in Media, Adam and Piotr are watching cartoons, so I can see what is report it in media right now.

[Dog]

I agree....we stopped to soon last year.

[elhombrelibre]

The theory was that the 82nd would allow the people there to have a chance to take care of themselves and to not make matters worse. But the terrorists there obviously saw that as weakness.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Shhh... Mick doesn't want you to think. He wants to spoonfeed the news to you. :)

[jimbo123]

Hindsight's 20/20. At least we're killing a lot of the bad guys now.

[pt17]

Jim Miklaszewski talking to Imus:

Sorry, leadpenny, but these two are a few volts short of being a reliable power supply.

[fatima]

Thank you bogdanPolska12,bump for when I come back,prayers.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for the clarification. Someone was discussing last night why we didn't do this earlier, but I forget the rationale. (Need more coffee.)

McOwen on Fox was griping about how slowly we have trained the Iraqi Defense forces (talking about police and not army).

[NCjim]

Mark for later reading.

Everybody is a military expert these days!
