I think it is the latter.....

No surprise but it does seem they are bent on destroying their country and killing their own...for power.

[ProudVet77]

Sure thing. GlobalSecurity.org has become a pretty good source for military stuff. Lots of specs and pics of weapons.
What makes it odd, the guy that runs it John Pike used to be a real lefty. I couldn't stand him back then. He seems to have grown up a lot.

Its good to hear the Kurds are helping out with Mosul. They have proven to be trustworthy allies time and again imo.

There is a thread I was on a couple of nights ago that was regarding the Kurds and the Turks. The topic is about the Turkish soldiers going into Iraq. It got very interesting. The Kurds have a lot at stack.

I'll see if I can find the thread and link it to this one.

Excellent start.. hope that figure will double - Pittsburgh folks take your mind of creaming the Browns & change it to creaming the terrorists !

[Allegra]

1200 "insurgents " killed in Fallujah and an Army unit is detaching from the fight and going back to Mosul to help there.....

Yep, Mosul's next. Not quite the hotbed Fallujah is, but troublesome just the same.

Mosul's way too far away for us to actually be able to see sound and light shows of the terrorist butt-kickings...

[No Blue States]

Hi Ernest. A Huge can of WA coming to Mosul. that will teach them.

Some High value targets must be in one of these cities.

[RAZERBACK]

The bridge in the distance is the one the Blackwater Security contractors were hung from this past late spring/early summer.

[MEG33]

Lots of clean ups ahead.

[Issaquahking]

Thanks for being "The FReeperette on the Ground" for us back home here! Love catching the REAL story when you post!

[Allegra]

Three loud BOOMS here just now...not too far off at all. Shook things.

First time today, though. That's an improvement over the last few days.

Hope they don't put us on bugle call and make us bunker up...

Foreign fighters now reviled by Fallujah residents

By Hannah Allam

Knight Ridder Newspapers

A rebel-allied cleric who goes by the name Sheik Rafaa told Knight Ridder that Iraqi rebels were so infuriated by the disappearance of their foreign allies that one cell had "executed 20 Arab fighters because they left an area they promised to defend."


Other residents said foreign militants wore out their welcome months ago, when they imposed a Taliban-like interpretation of Islamic law that included public floggings for suspects accused of drinking alcohol or refusing to grow beards. Women who failed to cover their hair or remove their makeup were subjected to public humiliation. Those accused of spying for Americans were executed on the spot, residents said.
