(11-12) 11:07 PST BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- U.S.-led coalition forces launched a military operation in Baghdad late Wednesday, targeting a facility used by insurgents and setting off explosions that reverberated through the Iraqi capital.

"The facility is a known meeting, planning, storage and rendezvous point for belligerent elements currently conducting attacks on coalition forces and infrastructure," the Pentagon said in a statement from Washington.

"The destruction of this structure will deny enemy forces any use of it in the future."

There were reports late last week about greatly increased U.S. air traffic over in England, including KC135s, air refueling planes.

There should be many U.S. Ops in the near future.

BAGHDAD, Nov 12 (AFP) - Two suspected insurgents were killed, three more wounded and five detained when the US army staged two operations late Wednesday in Baghdad, the US military said.

"The 1st Armored Division staged this evening two different operations in Baghdad," Captain Dave Gercken told AFP.

Gercken said army vehicles and Apache helicopters pursued a van in the western parts of the capital until the gunship fire on and hit the vehicle in the Abu Ghraib neighborhood.

"Two were killed in action, three were wounded and five were detained," he said.

Gercken said a second operation was launched

Maybe the rebuilding should have been postponed until enough asskicking had been done that every living thing in Iraq lined up with a white flag in their hand, begging for the chance to surrender unconditionally.

After that, separating the builders from the destroyers would have been a whole lot easier.
