You guys need to give me some time before I post links, since this is still on going, and lot of info i am still sorting out...

so in short..

terrorist tried to surround polish area, they gut broken up by US Marines Tanks and air support, Grom was in action selecting targets inside feluja.... developing on that...

Italians were able to repel attack and kill about 20 without a loss...as far as I know ...battle still going

Coalition forces are backed by C-130, F-15 and F-16 and with Apache, reiforcement is being call from Kuwait..developing on that

There is strong links of uprising to Iran and Saudis...Al quada is fully invovle in this

US Marines with full armor support it by tanks, helicopters and air power are in full swing...12 marines go killed...as far as I know now about 200 enemy are killed and hundres wounded....

That is just in short. Give me more time.

Bakubah?

Thanks, Bogdan.

Sheesh. Am I that unclear or are you being deliberately obtuse?

OTHER POSTERS wondered why the Marines were being put in that position - they seemed to think it unnecessary.

I'm not trying to insult the Army, and it's pretty obvious that the different branches of service and the different divisions & units within each branch have different missions and specialties.

Great ahead-of-the-media reporting by FR International.

Many thanks bogdan to you, your brother and your brother's friend.

another controlled landing - Iraqis look over a pair of flattened cars crushed by armored vehicles after fighting between insurgents and U.S. forces erupted in the north Baghdad suburb of Adhamiya April 6, 2004

Yes, I understood that. I've comment on other remarks you've made, and yet you're answering something I'm not talking about. You raised some points about the size of a MEF that I think aren't correct. Are you sure? I'm not trying to fuss with you. A Corp in Army terms is a huge force.

Then that's a good thing about the chopper. Hopefully the crew is all safe.

Jim Miklaszewski talking to Imus

I don't trust Miklaszewski's reporting anymore. He had a run in with Rumsfeld and ever since he seems to have a bias against him. It's too bad because I use to pay a lot of attention to what he has said in the past. Maybe NBC got his FBI files[/Tin Foil Hat].

Kiowa....controlled landing, no injuries, helicopter has been recovered and transported back to U.S. base.

Good news..

Polish troops have killed the head od Sadrs office in Karbala.

[Broadside Joe]

Coalition says it was a controlled landing of an OH-58 per FOX.

[elhombrelibre]

Buy them some pivo and a vodka.

[prairiebreeze]

HooAhh for our Polish allies!

[Dog]

Post that on the thread in Breaking News please.

< Raises a toast to our fine Polish allies >

Good shooting, my friends!

[Eurotwit]

Sky News also mentioning what BBC World talked about:

US Marines in the center of Fallujah in a major operation.

[mystery-ak]
