Thanks for the ping! Yes, you were right about al Qaim. This is very interesting.
Frankly, I've wondered if some of our reluctance to bomb certain areas wasn't because of the possibility of setting off something that was hidden there.
I wonder if our little friends at the "wedding party" had been trekking up to Al Qaim to get supplies.
You're welcome,livius! I usually have trouble searching the archives but I found this one right away. I just re-read it and our guys have already made some progress or at least it's inferred in one paragraph.And the troops have their suspicions.I'm wondering if before long when things quiet down a bit and sometime after June 30th and we have more time - that we can go in their on foot and search.I sure hope so. Talk about an October surprise?! That would be great!
Excellent point! I hadn't thought about that. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that's what happened.
