Where did they go?
On June 29, American and Iraqi soldiers were again fighting side-by-side as soldiers from Charley Company 1-12 CAV, led by Capt. Clayton Combs and Iraqi soldiers from the 5th IA, closed in on a village on the outskirts of Baqouba.
The village had the apparent misfortune of being located near a main road — about 3.5 miles from FOB Warhorse — that Al Qaeda liked to bomb.
Al Qaeda had taken over the village. As Iraqi and American soldiers moved in, they came under light contact, but the real threat were the bombs planted in the roads and maybe in the houses.
The firefight progressed. American missiles were fired. The enemy might have been trying to bait Iraqi and American soldiers into ambush, but it did not work.
The village was riddled with bombs, some of them large enough to destroy a tank. One by one, experts destroyed the bombs, leaving small and large craters in the unpaved roads.

Ping.
There’s evil over there, plain and simple.
It shows the state of the MSM when we get our best and most accurate war reporting from the blogs. God be with them all. Prayers for the troops and the reporters embedded with them. Along with the innocent Iraqi’s.
they behead children...says it all
And mutilate their daughter’s genitalia. This cult of death needs to be exterminated
God bless our troops, President Bush, and the Iraqi people who are fighting the war on terror on our side.
But hey, let’s leave right now because Ron Paul said so. :/
LOL, good one :) yep this wisest of all men, Ron Paul (extreme sarcasm).
