CAMP ECHO, Iraq Iraqi Security Forces, assisted by Coalition Forces, detained 81 suspected extremists and confiscated several weapons caches in Diwaniyah, Iraq, during Operation Lion Pounce Nov. 17 to 19.
Maj. Gen. Othman Ali Farhood, 8th Iraqi Army Div. Commander, outlined the successes of Lion Pounce in a press conference at Camp Echo, Iraq, Nov. 19.
The northeast quarters of Diwaniyah, where the operation was conducted, were under control of criminal and militant groups, General Farrod said.
He further highlighted the IAs success by stating there have been no casualties or equipment damage associated with the operation to date.
Maj. Gen. Tadeusz Buk, Multi-National Division Central South Commander, said Operation Lion Pounce was the first large-scale operation led by an Iraqi Army general (Farrod), who commanded not only IA Soldiers, but also Iraqi Police units.
The results of the operation show that it was well-planned and prepared, said General Buk.
Sheikh Hussein Al Bderi, Chairman of the Provincial Security Committee, highlighted sound cooperation between local government, Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition Forces as key to the operations success.
He added that new security stations will be built to maintain order and security in the region upon the operations completion.

Maj. Gen. Othman Ali Farhood is a fool. Didn't he listen to someone more eminently qualified to speak on this matter, the Esteemed Senator Harold Reid?

There are so many weapons caches in Iraq, that they’ll still be finding them a thousand years from now.

Stay safe over there and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Same to you and your loved ones.
It's about ten minutes into Thaksgiving here. I'd better get to sleep soon so I have enough energy to gorge on turkey and trimmings at the DFAC. Besides, I love having the generals serve us dinner. ;-)
