It seems that caches are showing up all over the place.
Another good sign.
The Pelosi position on this still baffles me. Why snatch defeat from victory?

The more we keep finding weapons caches, the more the Dems squeal "surrender". |
One might think there's a corollary there...

She BAFFLES you?? Good God, she's a Communist, what do you expect? Surely you jest.
She hates this country and what it stands for but the Repubs continue to grovel on the ground at the Lib's feet (Murtha for example), rolling over and over like the worthless, spineless, flea-bitten curs they are. I'll tell you how I really feel soon as I catch my breath.

LOL. That sounds like something Bart Simpson or Jeff Foxworthy would sing in a Christmas special.

I hope they make sure they don't hurt those 33 terrified terrorists... Our mean, out of control soldiers and marines can be so nasty to poor defenseless disarmed terrorists. Just ask Nancy "nip 'n tuck" Pelosi, Teddy "the swimmer" Kennedy, John "the most VIETNAM decorated vet" (but no BOTOX) Kerry, Barbie "airhead" Boxer, "little"----> Dick "(D)Turbin", "dingy" Dirty Reid... add your own____________ D'RAT

Task Force Baghdad Soldiers found multiple weapons caches on an island in the Euphrates River Nov. 28. Military officials had been monitoring suspicious activity near the Euphrates River southwest of Baghdad for a couple of weeks. When conditions were right, Soldiers from 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division sprung into action.
The timing was right to attack the target, said 2nd BCT Commander Col. Todd Ebel. The pieces of the puzzle fit close enough.

"Operation Thunder Blitz was focused on removing weapons and terrorists from the streets prior to the Dec. 15 elections."More and more munitions caches confiscated...fewer and fewer attacks...and we haven't heard much from Zarqawi or Bin Laden recently.
Life is good...and getting better.

I continue to wonder just how much stuff is still buried, hid in warehouse and homes etc.. There must be literally thousands of tos of ordnance, rockets, RPG, mortars, small arms ammo and weapons still in around. I bet once we leave the Iraqi's will be finding stuff for years. All we heared about a year back where estimates being given that the best guess Iraq had 600,00 tons of ordnance. And we have heard no recent reports as how much thus far has been found and destroyed.
The country of Iraq was literally an armed arsenal.

People are still finding Nazi WW2 caches in Europe (it just doesn't make the news). Losing armies have a long history of leaving behind ordnance that they couldn't fire.
Heck, in the past 5 years I've seen at least one article on U.S. civil war ordnance (C.S.A.) from the 1860's being discovered in the South!
