Iraqi Special Forces, advised by Coalition troops, take on the Madhi Army in Sadr City. This is the one of the most intense firefights ever caught on film, and it explains why al Sadr has already begged for a truce. The overweight and/or underage dopes of the Madhi Army are no match for the increasingly lethal Iraqi forces. Prime Minister Maliki has the upper hand now.
Listen for the GAU minigun ripping away at 50 rounds per second.
EXACTLY!
Suuuuweet:)
Welome to FR and thanks for the video.
It was reported that Iraqi Police did that, not forces.
We’ll see, Mookie’s guys are about to go greasy.
Good riddance and high time.
OUTSTANDING!
“One well-paced military source told G2 Bulletin the initial fight over the Iraqi town went like this: ‘We lost Basra last night. An Iraqi army commander was told by the local Madhi army commander to lay down all their weapons, surrender all their uniforms, surrender their equipment and then there would be no trouble. The Iraqi army did just that.’”
Bill Roggio says that’s not true.
Some Iraqi cops defected or deserted, but not the army.
I think if al Sadr had really won in Basra, he wouldn’t be asking for a truce.
Besides, Maliki now has men like the ones in the video I posted.
Can you imagine those guys in their gun trucks surrendering to the drugged-up, undisciplined slobs of the Madhi Army?
Man, I really hate anonymous sources now. Maybe World Net Daily spoke to a well-placed cook or mechanic in the maintenance pool.
“Game over, man! That’s it! Game over! We’re doooooomed!”
Another milestone - another example of what the strategy is - train ‘em up so’s they can do the heavy lifting...
they don’t even have the puff the magic dragons anymore do they? by “equivalent” do you mean up to date version? just wondering
You forgot the wedding.
Iraqi troops with American advisors - training 'em up good!
The video title says Special Forces in parenthesis and I saw towards the end a 50 caliber Ma-deuce mounted on a HMMV which I've never seen before, as well as the mini gun somewhere, and an M-60 which may be being phased out. This tells me it is indeed a special forces team with access to specialized weapons with assistance of the Iraqi Army.
“Cut the tree down, and the monkeys will scatter” Take out Mookie - and this nonsense will end.
I really think a lot of people don’t get what “surrender” means.
Since they have “negotiated” for a handful of soldiers to be arrested, and Sadr himself is and will remain free, there is no surrender.
Doesn’t diminish what our soldiers do, but our leaders seem more concerned with soundbites than victory, and surrender sounds a lot better than “withdrawing from an unwinnable situation to rearm, regroup and attack again later”.
Welcome to FR and thank you for the video.
AMERICAN BABES RULE!!!
BTTT!!!
The Iraqi Army is not yet upto kick-ass standards just yet............update, US Military has just rolled in............ergo, “Cease FIRE”..........OH, please.........Says the militia.
