More good news that you probably wont hear on the news tonight.

[bnelson44]

During the operation, soldiers from the 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment Reconnaissance, 82nd Airborne Division, killed more than 100 insurgents and detained 54 suspected of involvement with terrorism activities in the area, which is located just south of Balad Ruz.

Have people noticed the numbers of enemy dead rising the last few weeks, or is it my imagination?

[unkus]

I have noticed a rise in the demise of the enemy. A friend of mine who just reenlisted, told me we are killing a lot more than we hear about. My buddy is a sniper.

[bnelson44]

I agree with your buddy.

[ExcursionGuy84]

...1,100 Katushya rockets, 1,500 rocket-propelled grenades, 500 mortars and a variety of bomb-making materials....

And a par-tridge ina pear treeeeeeeee!

This is the same area where our Regimental HQ was during our rotation (278th ACR TNARNG, 2004-05). I think what has happened is that many of the enemy have fled Al Anbar province and tried to reestablish themselves in Diyala province to be close to Baghdad (this is close to where Zarkawi was killed I think). A few months ago the Weekly Standard had a story about how we could clean up the insurgency which basically called for us to clear the Tigris, Euphrates and Diyala river basins all the way to Baghdad and then have a final, big dust-up to clear the city itself. This might be a sign that we are starting to pursue that strategy.

[BuffaloJack]

Bravo Zulu to the troops.

[Dilbert56]

This is the province to where the AlQaida big shots were supposed to flee when news of the surge got out. Oops! Now where was the safe haven?

[Stand W]

Oh, yeah! I heard about this on ABC, SeeBS, NBC, etc.!

Didn't you?

[JohnBovenmyer]

Now where was the safe haven?

Further east, Europe and the Rats hope. We hope straight down.

[mdittmar]

As our wannabe president senators prattle, our Military gets it done.

[LibKill]

Uurah!

Well done, Army!
