Could this airstrike be against any Iranian insurgents in the area, or is this a potential al zarqaui(sp) hit?

Looks like it. I had just checked AP on Yahoo's front page. Nothing there. Drudge is using an AP BN source. Wonder what Fox used?

The US military has launched its biggest air assault in Iraq since the invasion in 2003.

Operation Swarmer involves more than 50 aircraft and 1,500 Iraqi and US troops as well as 200 tactical vehicles.

The target is suspected insurgents operating near the town of Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad.

A statement said the assault was launched on Thursday morning and is expected to last several days.

Samarra was the site of a bombing attack last month on a Shi'ite shrine.

The attack sparked sectarian reprisals and pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war.

More follows...

Wouldn't that be terrific! But instead we'll hear: "He was here last week, we had eyewitness accounts! Damn, we missed him by hours."

You know what THEY are going to say, don't you? Bush is responding to the political polls and just trying to look like they are really doing something in Iraq.

I don't know about that, but I think it's intersting this starts at the same hour that he's giving a speech reaffirming the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption.

I hear the Iranians want to talk to us too. That's probably just more cheat & retreat, but this could be a good day for conservatives. We've had precious few lately.
