London, Sep. 26 – The Iraqi army confiscated Iranian mortars in an operation in central-southern Iraq on Tuesday, the Multi-National Corps – Iraq (MNC-I) said in a statement on Wednesday.

Scouts from the 8th Iraqi army division confiscated and destroyed the mortars along with roadside bombs which were part of a large weapons cache following an intelligence driven operation September 25 in Diwaniyah

“Iraqi forces learned that criminal elements were hiding the cache of explosively formed penetrators and mortars in a secret storage facility. The deadly weapons are responsible for many Iraqi and Coalition fatalities”, the MNC-I said.

The forces confiscated the following materials: three RPG rounds, one EFP case, three EFPs, one shape charge for an improvised explosive device, 12 81mm Iranian mortars, detonator cords, batteries, ammunition, sniper rifle parts and magazines, and a large amount of fuses, blasting caps, homemade firing devices and explosive primers, and a large amount of “terrorist propaganda”.

And the liberals will look the other way.

Maybe they’ll watch “An Inconvenient truth” one more time and convince themselves that the only thing to worry about is climate change.

Why in hell don’t we just bomb Iran back to the stone age and be done with these bastards!?!?!?!?! Make them an example of what we do to others that want to kill our people! Knock out everything that has so much as a remote military or terrorist use. I am freakin’ tired of this crap!..............

The dumbsasses from Iran who are helping the other dumbasses in Iraq to kill and dismember our Troops never even bothered to eradicate serial numbers and other identifying features of their ordnance used in IEDs designed to and for that purpose.

It is only the liberal media that has been refusing to address that FACT for YEARS!

I can assure you (and all) that our Troops certainly know who the real enemy is, and that their political representative will not be invited to any military mess halls soon.

A little more rubble, a lot less trouble.

Ship them to Pelosi’s office or have them piled up at the next meeting of Congress. Kerry and Kennedy can toss them back and forth for exercise. Or, Hitlery can play toss with Pelosi and Reid.

It bothers me that our forces die daily in that God-forsaken country and we never even know who they are or where they are from. How sad to give what Lincoln rightly called the last full measure of devotion and the only ones who know are those who fought with them and those who will be there when the flag-draped casket makes the final trip home. Literally brings tears to my eyes, a lump to my throat and a pain in my heart.

Here is the last one who is listed as being killed as a result of hostile action:

Staff Sgt. Zachary B. Tomczak, 24, of Huron, S.D., died Sept. 25, in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit using small arms fire.

God bless Sgt. Tomczak, his family and friends. Thank you Sgt. Tomczak. I would that I could do more, but it’s the most I have to give.

I see they found quite a few copies of the Koran.

Why punish the innocent Iranians for what the murdering mullahs do? They have no control over their situation. Now some finely targeted smart bombs lobbed into the wherever Iwannajihad and the worst of the mullahs live, I could get behind that!
