This seems like an important first test of Iraqi security capability, and should send a strong message to the terrorists: there is "no vacancy" now in Iraq for terrorists.

This is great - the raid was carried out by Iraqis, the US trained Iraqis inflicted combat deaths at a respectable 12-1 ratio, the aftermath proves that these scum aren't locals but foreign agitators . . . sweet.

I liek how it was termed "US backed the Iraqi forces"

Its showing that the Iraqis are having control (not just active, but controlling) roll in this.

The main stream Media will report this as "11 Iraqi Police killed" , nothing about the terrorist's deaths. (if they report it at all.)

Even more interesting is the fact the battle took place. Which means the terrorists were not informed in advance by traitors in the ranks of the Iraqi forces.

Ahem...it's "Kulu qa'idatikum namlikuha." (The Iraqis did it, so it's in Arabic.)

In Mosul, a suicide car bomber blew himself up near a U.S. military patrol, but there were no reports of any injuries, apart from the bomber.

Somebody set us up the bomb!

84 times 72 virgins = 6,084 virgins. Man at this rate, there are not going to be any more virgins left!

As time goes on, this will be more common. The Iraqis are finally learning that it is THEIR country and all the terrorist attacks are aimed at them.

It's all a question of motivation and they are finally getting motivated.

"Among the dead are Arab and foreign fighters, including Sudanese, Algerians and Moroccans, as well as other nationalities."

Sounds like a veritable United Nations of terrorist scumbags. Nice job, Iraqi Commandos!

You're not kidding as I was eating my lunch I was watching some local news channel and on the ticker at the bottom it said 11 Iraqi security troops killed. NOTHING about the 82 pondscum little sheet heads that were killed in the same battle!

A studier of Arabic?

I am intrigued. If you have more, share please :)

I know traces of Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, German, Scots-Gaelic, and Latin (and therefor some latin-based languages) I'd like to have a functioning vocab in each. Even if it is to simply find the bathroom and thank people.

Salom.

The "insurgents" are in a quagmire!

This is more detail of what was reported earlier today, right?

Or (what I'm hoping for) is this 84 more?
