The frame is a bit gawdy but I love the picture!
HOw you doin' ali?Ann is great.
I thought I must have misheard that. But he did say victims.
Wow, "treasure trove" of information found and exploited/utilized!
? about documents, anything about documents?
Caldwell: We did. We did find some information. What everyone needs to understand that the strike didn't occur in a 24 hour period. It was a long exploitation of signals and human intelligence, many weeks led us to that target. Last night we conducted 17 simultaneous raids in Baghdad proper and outskirts and those 17 raids a tremendous am ount of intelligence was collected and is being utlized for further use. IT WAS A TREASURE TROVE!
We've id'd other targets we hadn't gone after previously and now that we have him we can go after other targets we've been using to establish his movements and habits.
Significant intel obtained...
Per General Caldwell: The intel collected at the sight is literally a "TREASURE TROVE" of information!!!!!!!!!
HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sure hope as he** he did!
Mil Conf speaker just said body of woman and child were found. Libs will be hollering about atrocities.
paging Con Murtha.....
I heard that. Unbelievable....yet sadly, not so much.
Thank God!
I swear that if today's media covered D-Day they're top story would have been about the French civilians killed in the bombing before the landings.
Unbelievably awesome news! I can't wait to see the same picture of Osama bin Laden on ice.
? Can you classify the treasure trove that you found. Phone books, computers? Were the 17 targets in Baghdad.
Caldwell: We had no doubt that Zarqawi was in the house. We knew exactly who was there. The information we gathered over the last 24 hours is being used and exploited and will be used in future operations so I won't talk about that.
Mil Conf:
Reporter: Wasn't it just luck that Zarqawi was there?
Mil: No, we knew he was there and HE was the target.
"As Coroner, I must aver I thoroughly
examined her. And she's not only merely
dead, She's really, most sincerely dead."
