Good. We shouldn't be risking any more American OR Iraqui lives than necessary - if we know where the creeps are holed up, we should take them out with as little risk as possible to the decent people in this game. Pity about the "wedding party," but June is over anyway and they should have known better than to schedule the wedding for mid-summer...

Both Iraqi and US forces took part in the un-named mission, launched early on Monday.

I wonder if this means that the Iraqi airforce took part? Or if Iraqi pilots were observers in our planes? I haven't heard anything about the new Iraqi armed forces aside from the army. Does anyone know?

Al Jazeera's main article today claims that we killed all those kids with an arial bomb the other day.

[Blue Turtle]

Are we in Iraq? I thought we were talking about ROVE!!

LoL! I still get a laugh thinking about that. A sign on a building with big letters in english "BABY MILK FACTORY" in a place that doesn't speak any. That's when CNN was Saddam's al-Jazerra.

If I could spell, I would have to go to another forum :)

Could be mobile baby milk factories.

Sounds like weapons of mass urination.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I knew at the time that that would be the claim. These people are despicable.

ust as an aside, why do media always specify that it was fighter "jets"?

Only way the dumedia know how to differentiate between fixed and rotary-wing...

[ScreamingFist]

almost forgot we had jets in the region. barely ever hear about it.

USAF isn't needed, just a bunch of wannabe warriors, been told that right here on FR by "supposed" Vietnam marine vet. That being said, nothing lights up the world like airpower, and most ground warriors I know like it when CAS comes in......

[jw777]

I'd rather have the CAS than have to poke my head out and get it shot off.

US fighter jets launched on Monday air attacks on locations suspected of being hideouts of insurgents in Rawa village, western Iraq.

"almost forgot we had jets in the region. barely ever hear about it."
I assure you there are F18's, and Harriers stationed at Al Asad some miles west of the Euphrates north of Ar Ramadi.
The support all the Marine OPs in Al Anbar. Here is one
example from the Marine OIF web site:

Or mass lactation?
