On 19 June American forces sealed off Baqubah and began attacking targets within the city. The immediate goal of Arrowhead Ripper was to free Baqubah of al Qaeda, by trapping and killing its members, but according to American officers here, public remarks by senior military officials may have flushed many AQI leaders before the attack. Despite this frustrating and significant setback, progress toward the end-state goal of Arrowhead Ripper—turning over Baqubah to Iraqi government control—appears to be working, at least in terms of the removal of the current AQI leadership and its quasi-government.

Two of Johnson’s men went up to the dangerous rooftop, and SSG Matt Hudgeon patiently waited for a shot on a man about 500 yards away who had been attacking IA convoys with RPGs. Hudgeon saw the man fire two rockets, and he kept trying to get crosshairs on the enemy. When he finally got a shot, Matt steadied his breathing, slowly exhaled and squeezed the trigger of his M-14. Bam! Matt’s bullet shot the man in the stomach, and the man rolled off the two-story roof, landing in the dust next to his RPG.

M-14, the Ma-Bell weapon - reach out and touch someone.

“M-14, the Ma-Bell weapon - reach out and touch someone.”

Actually, the M-14 is the new and improved Ma-Bell weapon. It is the right way to reach out and the right way to touch the right someone.

I admit that I did like the PING when the M-1 Garrand Ma-Bell wanted to take a breath from talking. Nicely punctuated the speaking.

Michael Yon called into Hannity’s radio show today. One GREAT note - Michael mentioned that the “Iraqis are turning on al Qaeda.” Apparently Iraqis are sick and tired of those perps being in the area. The good guys are pointing out the bad guys and the bad guys are on the run.
