Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division and Company D., 1-12th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, engaged and killed 19 AIF and wounded one other, after the AIF fired on the joint team with small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades from inside three buildings.
“The Iraqi Soldiers demonstrated their increased capabilities, and with support from Coalition Forces, brought those terrorists to justice,” said Lt. Col. James D. George Jr., acting commander for 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division.
Iraqi Army and Coalition ground forces, supported by attack aircraft, fixed terrorist positions and used combined ground and air firepower, consisting of small arms, rockets and bombs, to kill or root out the insurgents.
Two Iraqi Army soldiers were killed and one U.S. Soldier and one Iraqi civilian were wounded during the engagement.

“insurgent”? Sounds like mainstream media reporting. The only good terrorist is a DEAD one.
Oh, dear. The media and the Democrats aren't going to like this one bit.
