SUKKARIYEH, Syria – Families in this Syrian village on Monday buried relatives they said died in a U.S. helicopter attack. A U.S. counterterrorism official said American forces killed the head of a Syrian network that funneled fighters, weapons and cash into Iraq.
The raid Sunday targeted the home of Abu Ghadiyah, the nickname for the leader of a key cell of foreign fighters in Iraq, according to the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence. The U.S. Treasury Department has identified him as one of four major figures in al-Qaida's Iraq wing who were living in Syria.

Wonder if the Syrians gave the OK for this job?
“Deployment of several containers of mil-spec Whoopass successful, returning to base...”
???
Are you serious?
We’ll see operations like this end if 0bama gets in. Bet on it.
I think he is Syrias. And it I wouldn’t be surprised if the US had made them aware that it was coming.
“You guys need to clean up this little mess here that we have uncovered.”
“clean it up yourself.”
“Done.”
Later - “We knew there were some bad guys there. If the US does it again....”
Anything is possible you know. They might want to be on the right side before the Israelis take on Iran.
Memo to POTUS: Iran is way, way, way more of a problem.
Great news!
I sure hope he hadn’t already sent in his absentee ballot for Obama before he got obliterated.
Three more excursions into Syria?
The other three probably have already wet their pants.
All these mutts have a “nom de guere” (or name of war) of “Abu” Abu Nidal, Abu Saiid, Abu Mazen... We need to give Barry Obama one like “Abu Barak al Hussein bin Obama” [Translate: Jihad Warrior Barak of Hussein son of Obama]
The leader of the Syrian cell is named Assad, and he lives in the Presidential palace. Anybody lower on the food chain will be replaced within days.
We should have done this years ago, or at least when the surge started.
Concerned about it being legal. Horses-it. Tell the Syrians that any person who participates in violence in Iraq, flees back across the border, and is not arrested by Syria is fair game.
If we had as many balls as the Israelis, we’d have taken out a military base while we were at it.
You forgot the bin lying part. How about this one:
Barack Mohammed Hussein Abdul bin Lying like sh!t I ain’t that one i love only black people Nobama.
Nailed it.
For several years now terrorists have hit Iraqi and American soldiers then ran across the borders of Iran, Syria, Pakistan etc and gotten away as the U.S. doesn’t care to violate countries territories?
B.S., chase these bastards to the gates of hell and kill them wherever they are and what ever crap hole country that is “violated”, can go pound sand for harboring the turds to begin with.
