Mr Ismael said American soldiers began swarming the town, seemingly coming from nowhere, with some soldiers sliding down ropes dropped from Black Hawk helicopters.

Air Assault!

said he saw three utes drive to the house late on Wednesday

From "My Cousin Vinny" ... "There were two utes..."

Ernest, this excellent article should answer your question re who ratted on Z Pig.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks, new info on our air assault....

[RedMonqey]

I stand corrected. ;-)

......It IS BECAUSE WE ARE A BENEVOLENT NATION that we are conducting this Iraq campaign in the first place...

We now have a village of really bad enemies that hate us even more. The destruction of the enemy is really not a bad thing. This village could prove to be harmful in the future.

Let that be a lesson to everyone...You post a vanity thread on FR, and you too could be receiving a pair of 500lbs'ers.

No, but you will be nibbled to death by ducks, aka "thread police"...

Notice how the Iraqi forces were the first ones on the scene for this? Followed closely by the boys?
Why is it we are there?

We do not have all of the information. Likely there were some survivors. IMHO, by the looks of the Z-mans corpse, there were heroic efforts extended. He was Epi'd, shunted, SP'd, and in my opinion given a smooth ride courtesy of the plant that takes away all pain and suffering. Unless you have never worked with trauma, which I suspect. How DARE you infer or insinuate that our men did anything less than the best. I may not agree with the premise for overthrowing Iraq, and I think Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are in dire need of nuclear therapy. Yet please do not cast aspersion on the finest fighting force in the history of mankind. Dipsh!t.

We are actually trying to reform and SAVE the Middle East and in the process SAVE millions of lives.

So Mohammed, Achmed, and Christopher are walking down the road. Mo' and Ach tarry along the way in order to pleasure themselves with goats and camels. They invite Christopher to participate, but he declines. When evening comes Christopher goes to the local village in search of women. Mo' and Ach castigate him roundly for going in search of the valued virgins. Christopher replies "how else are we going to produce more virgins?" Consider.

A task force, called 77 or 145

Is it Task Force 77, Task Force 145, or Task Force 77 or 145?

[DCPatriot]

The background desert and shrubbery in the video is no different than 80% of Iraq's countryside.

Nope....somebody ratted him out for the $25Million.

[AnnaZ]

Actually, it's the original author who goofed, so you're off (and were never on) the hook. (And regardless, the video is a hoot.)

= )

"(And regardless, the video is a hoot.)"



It truly is. Finding out the leading terrorist in Iraq is just an wannabe Rambo that got lucky a few times against the Real pros.

"Thanks, new info on our air assault...."
The devil is in the details. But over all yet another good fill in article. And all those other enforcer raids in Baggy Dad and perhaps elsewhere, e.g. 17, then some 35 others, all products of this recent information gathering operation.
If these AQ goons and Saddamis are paying close attention to the articles popping up world wide, and finding a lot of goons goons not reporting for work,surely they must realize AQ appears to really be crumbling faster then it had already been for the past year or so.
I got a suspicion, we are not going to see anywhere as much involvment by AQ in the months to come. A hundred here, fifty there. We must be draining their remaining goon heap.
The borders are much better patroled at this point. Goons from Jordan, northern tip of Saudi Arabia, and Syria are not getting in as earlier on. The road grids have a lot of check points. One does not just go off a road in those desert areas and travel a hundred or two hundred miles to get into the center of Iraq. Toyodas etc., can't navigate the desert terrain when it includes undulating hills and ravines. So they must be hurting for recruites.
As for the main resistance, Saddamist, it is going to take some time to wipe them out. But perhaps as the IG shall further offer bigger carrots to have the majority of them simply give up and join in a new Iraq.

Two F-16 US Air Force Falcons circled high above and dropped two 225kg laser-guided bombs. The first flattened the house, which disintegrated into three dust clouds.

More detail and the videos ...several...including Zarqawi firing his auto weapon on this thread:
