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.

THE US HAVE BOMBED A MOSQUE IN THE CENTER OF FALLUJAH

NPR was reporting yesterday afternoon that we were finding weapons caches in mosques in Fallujah.

They sounded amazed, but they were reporting it and appeared to believe it (as opposed to reporting that 'Marines *said* they found...')

[Miss Marple]

Pentagon update from Fox: Head of Al Sadr's office in Karbala has been killed by Polish troops. Ramadi ...gunmen hiding in cemetery. Opened fire from there. New fighting in Ramadi today. Marines push towards center of Fallujah. Tape of Kimmitt saying we will destroy the Mahdi Army.

Kimmitt says if Mr. Al Sadr wants to calm violence, he should turn himself in.

[Dog]

I guess they took the gloves off...

If the Poles whacked Sadr's man ......all bets are off if Sadr is allowed to surrender.

[Eurotwit]

Well apparently AFP is talking about a large number of killed. double digits.

[Miss Marple]

President on conference call with Rummy and others. Said that troops are performing well.

[Coop]

III Corps is composed of two active divisions (1st Cavalry and 4th Infantry), one reserve division (49th Armored .. Texas Lone Star), 13th Corps Support Command (over a brigade in size), and the 6th AirCav .. well over 60,000 troops.

By comparison, a MEF (at least as of a few years ago) is comprised of about 53,000 Marines (a heavy division, an air wing, and associated support elements).

[Dog]

Large number of killed .....who the bad guys?

[Amelia]

If the Poles whacked Sadr's man ......all bets are off if Sadr is allowed to surrender.

I've noticed that since we've announced that we can identify those who killed the 4 contractors from the videos, the "tough guys" dancing in front of the cameras with guns all have their faces covered.

I think they must believe us. :-)

[elhombrelibre]

Then, a MEU and a MEF are not the same thing, right?

[Miss Marple]

We should tell them that we have X-ray vision videos.

[Gotterdammerung]

A democracy is incapable of dealing with this type of enemy, as in a democracy, all things are equal.

[elhombrelibre]

They've become modest about their victory dances.

THE US HAVE BOMBED A MOSQUE IN THE CENTER OF FALLUJAH

And the secondary explosions went on for how long?

[Coop]

MEF (Marine Expeditionary Force) is the largest;
MEB (ME Brigade) is in the middle;
and MEU (ME Unit) is the smallest.

Terp, you're probably thinking of a MEU attached to III MEF.

[Amelia]

ROFL!

[Eurotwit]

"Reuters quoted on Fox that Ukranians have pulled out of Irkuk (sp?)."

I think they are talking about Kut. Al Sadr's gang is apparently now in control there.

[Eurotwit]

Inside the mosque...

Bad guys.

[Dog]

Al Sadr's gang is apparently now in control there

Not for long..

[Miss Marple]

Yes. I bet the Ukranians are asking for reinforcements.
