The U.S. Military estimates that there are around 60 insurgents remaining in the area of 15,000 people

I hope they kill every one of them and take no prisoners.

[Churchillspirit]

May God be with them and all the brave men and women fighting in this war.

[DustyMoment]

Go get'em, guys!! We are all praying for your safe completion of this mission and a solid mission accomplished!!

[jazusamo]

The tribes have been formed into paramilitary units called "Emergency Response Units" and are linked with U.S. troops.

Good news, more Iraqis working with us against the terrorists.

God bless them all.

[airborne]

Prayers for our brave soldiers!

May God protect each and every one of them!

[Phantom Patriot]

By God it's about time! Lets just hope the delay by the leaders has not caused our troops harm by allowing the enemy to prepare. Give em what for Troops.

Let's Roll!

[PigRigger]

Prayers lifted for their safety and success....

[WesternPacific]

Heroic acts by brave men for an undeserving public.

"The much anticipated attack follows months of hands off policy as troops were routinely sniped and attacked with orders not to retaliate."

...and then some people wonder WHY it has "dragged on" for so long.

[Thombo2]

"Many of the houses have been booby trapped in anticipation of the attack."I just had an epiphany(aka great idea).Instead of shipping the insurgents off to Club Gitmo,have them enter the houses.Feedback?

Ephesians 6

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

[taxcontrol]

NOTHING will ever replace boots on the ground.

God Speed and much prayers for all of our troops and allies. House to house fighting is nasty stuff with high causality rates. But it is necessary to clear out a rats nest.

The much anticipated attack follows months of hands off policy as troops were routinely sniped and attacked with orders not to retaliate.

WTF? How in the world could our guys ever win if they were forbidden to return fire? I'm a Bush backer, but if we were not permitting our guys to whip the bad guys, what in the hell were we doing?

[dandelion]

God go with our fighting men; guide their hands, that their aim be true - guide their minds, that justice be served -

Guide their hearts, that they go with You.

I offer this prayer, my copy was given to me by Gen Patton's granddaughter. It was given to Patton's men, including my father, during the German campaign in WWII. My father still carries his original in his wallet.

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of They great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we've had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen."

We pray for their safety and their victory.
