The Deuce Four soldiers left quickly with the "casualties," "abandoning" the burning truck in the traffic circle. The enemy took the bait. Terrorists came out and started with the AK-rifle-monkey-pump, shooting into the truck, their own video crews capturing the moment of glory. That's when the American snipers opened fire and killed everybody with a weapon. Until now, only insiders knew about the AK-monkey-pumpers smack-down.

This is my favorite part.

Thanks for posting this - Michael's blog is a great first hand news source for Iraq. I was going to post it, but you beat me to it! :-)

My son is in the army and headed to EOD school...gives me a first hand look at their job in Iraq!

Someone should get this to Ted Kennedy...

The most serious terrorists do not fear prison here. Captain Jeff VanAntwerp, who commands Alpha Company, recently told me that Iraqis joke among themselves that they would pay 5,000 Dinar per night to stay at Abu Ghraib prison. It's air conditioned, the showers are good, the food is good, and the water is good. The mother seemed to know this and it curled in contempt behind her smile.

PING...

That was my favorite too, so I'll add this one:

In the Yarmuk neighborhood, only terrorists openly carry AK-47s. The lawyers call this Hostile Intent. The soldiers call this Dead Man Walking.

A great long read.

My favorite part, too. Hubby and I have been saying this needs to happen ever since Fallujah when the degenerates hung our men from the bridge.

Canteen ping to an incredible read.
