Mosul <===== Iranian infiltration
I understand that over 1000 are pushing up daisies instead of "slipping away". By the end of this let's hope it reaches a much larger number.
The Red Crscent is worried about the terrorists living conditions.
With over 1000 terrorists killed, I would say not too many escaped.
10 to 1 says they were gone before we even turned our engines over...And if they have to keep running and running from santuary to ever less comfortable and less supplied and smaller santuaries with no opportunity to rest and regroup and reorganize, that is defeat? This is truly Vietnam media coverage all over again. "After Tet, it seems like all our victories got turned into defeats by the media." -- Tom Moorer.
Yes, I'm sure that would have escaped the attention of our troops.
there may be some exageration here, but our own military admits that this happened. certainly the leadership was long gone, this was hardly a surprise attack. and clearly many made their way to Mosul. It doesn't do any good to put our heads in the sand about this, it happened. it doesn't discount the effectiveness and the bravery of our forces to wipe out those that remained.
next thing to look for - iraqi forces will be used to try and hold fallujah, and insurgents will now attack those forces. basically, the situation in fallujah is now going to be "inside out". this will be a major test for the iraqi forces.
We just killed more than a thousand of these bearded rats and captured 200 more. There are still some holdouts that will be killed or captured soon, so it's hard to imagine that very many of them "lived to fight another day".
And this would be different than before because...?
