Excellent....Sounds like the Iraqi people are starting to snitch AND our intelligence is getting better AND closer. I'm sure it's helping that Iraqi forces are more active as they can explain the consequences of terrorists a little better than we can.

These people lived under a terrorist and I'm sure it is difficult to come out in the open. They are very brave and we are the Best of the Best!!

The place is saturated with weapons. One should go after those who hide and use weapons, and make an object lesson out of them. In this sense the number of enemy casualties contributes to the victory more, and is more important than the number and variety of the materiel and equipment seized.

If the Pentagon could come up with a program to put the firearms on ebay to the US public all their funding issues would evaporate.

Think of the markup on a vintage soviet Kalashnikov taken from a bunker in Baghdad.

Asymmetrical warefare based on asymmetrical funding.

Just an idea.
