The Terrorists are desperate.
"the Terrorists are desperate."
Yes. But after reading the whole article. I do not believe it is true. Why? Two fold.
1). We have a FOB set up in Al Quaim, just outside the town. We have 7/24 border patrols on both sides of the river at this latitude, both ground and air. At least that is my current understanding.
2). Unless all those reports during operations Matador and Spear where untruthfull as how the tribes folks where now taking the fight to the foreign insurgents entering their towns, specific to area being discussed here, where false. Then someone would have been on the "hotline" phone within minutes of his appearance. Where the hotline number reaches Iraqi HQ most likely centered in Baghdad. Then a call would go to in this case probably Al Assad where our Marines are headquartered for this AO. In a half hour fast moving Light Armored Recon Battalion Companies with air support would flood into the area where the call came from.
So somehow I don't believe this particular info, and the source. Now if this Ali Babbi is caught in Al Quaim. Great I will be more then welcome to receive lots of laughts and geers from our Freepers that I don't have a clue! Let us hope I become a laughting stock on this one.
