In the middle of the night, an Iraqi man leads U.S. troops to a weapons cache.
FORWARD OPERATING BASE WARRIOR, Iraq, July 1, 2005 — Based on information from an Iraqi civilian, U.S. soldiers from B Company, 3rd Battalion, 116th Armor Regiment, Task Force Liberty discovered an unexploded ordnance cache in the Kirkuk Province June 29.
“By far, this is the biggest weapons cache the 116th has found,” said U.S. Army 1st Lt. John Thew, B Company, 3rd Battalion 116th Brigade Armor Regiment. “We have found in one day, what usually takes four months.”

The MSM will never report this. However, there will be more and more of this happening in Iraq.
Also, good citizens of Iraq will start offing the outsiders who come to Itaq to kill and harm their families.
BTTT
Liberating Iraq ping!

Man do Our Guys have guts. Following an unknown civilian in the middle of the night to what could be a ambush. Once again I Thank God for giving us such young men.
Sad but true!

The irresponsible behavior of the MSM in the WOT has been awful.
Hopefully, their arrogance and willingness to lie and to forget good news will cost them millions of viewers and subscribers.
I was going to say, I doubt that those munitions will be unexploded for long...
You can bet that Reid, Pelosi and their brownshirt comrades are drafting the paperwork for a "probe" and demanding that the name of this Iraqi civilian be turned over to them so they can get it to their toadies at the NYT.
Working together ~ Bump!

I think it already has. Their reduced readership has put them in the doldrums, hopefully for good.
