Hammorabi the blog has some interesting tidbits this am.
Sunday, November 14, 2004 Founds in Falluja!
Our hearts is with the innocent people of Falluja who were exposed to a lot of pressure and hardship from the anomalous and pervert insurgents.
Until now horrible atrocities have been found in Falluja by the outlawed outsiders and their supporters. Examples of the atrocities are:
1. Thousands of Arabs from different countries have been killed or captured. Some were from Iran, Chechnya, Afghanistan and other countries.
2. Several sites for beheadings tortures and videoing
3. Captured victims with miserable states
4. Mutilated bodies and one of them was a limbless body for a western woman whose throat was cut, face was disfigured and her limbs were amputated!
5. Large amounts of weapons and using worship places for that.
6. Lists of those who were kidnapped and beheaded and other lists of names of targeted people
7. Some documents related to the previous beheaded hostages like the Passport of the Japanese S Kudo who was beheaded few weeks ago!
More secret will certainly be revealed soon.
It looks that the new strategy is not to allow the insurgents to regroup in another city and to get them before they can catch the breath.
In Ramadi the Iraqi/Coalition forces refused to give a truce and entered the city with tanks and armoured vehicles while in Baji the insurgents' positions are under continuous air and ground bombardments.
One of the most dangerous areas which is called the triangle of death is still to be managed! This is south of Baghdad in Yosfyiah, Mahmodyiah and Latyfiyah where many people (Iraqis and non-Iraqis) killed daily by the insurgent groups there.

(I also wish we could have seen these photos and this action on 14 May 2004, not 14 November 2004 and hundreds of US military and civilian casulties and meaningless ceasefires and respect of mosques-cum-terrorist lairs, later.) But then again, I'm not runnin' the show.....

*Notice the chains used to hand our contractors still hanging from the bridge above this Marines head.
Operation Phantom Fury-----Day 7----Mop Up Live thread
This gave me goose bumps, those Americans have been avenged! Thank you American troops.
A musical tribute, my first.
thanks for thread/ping tex..
will catch up eventually. Have a dead kitty here. Didn't know he was out & was dead in street when I got home a short time ago. He Is OK, Oliver's Kitty. My dog, Oliver, adored him. carried him around(like a momma carries her babies) , slept with him, licked him until he was soaked. I tried to show O the body & he ran away, put his head down.
I have several other house pets (and a slew of outdoor strays).. but each one is special in their own way.
moving to seee the scenes on the bridge. I know it must be hard for the families of the contractors to see this.
Earlier, the Browns embarrasing loss seemed hard. All things in life are relative aren't they.
