Its amazing what a little bit of thumping heads does. We shouldn't have ever lifted the hammer.

Enemy attacks against the coalition in and around Baghdad have dropped by 70 percent since Operation Iron Hammer began Nov. 12, the commander of the 1st Armored Division said today.

Army Brig. Gen. Martin E. Dempsey told reporters...that information gathered over several weeks -- mainly from Iraqi citizens -- and pattern analysis of enemy actions have combined to make Iron Hammer "an intelligence-based, precise combat operation."

..."we want to communicate to the enemy the high cost of continuing to resist, as well as to assure the good citizens of Baghdad of our resolve.."

PING!

To borrow from The Daily Show: This is a much more effective campaign than operation "Velvety Pillows".

Tomorrow's Washington Compost and Old York Slime:

Insurgent Attacks Continue, Despite Iron Hammer

[ReaganRevolution]

This can't be! Last night on tv the democrats in the House said we were in a quagmire and that the UN would have to save us. God Bless our troops!!

[SuziQ]

Yeah, I've noticed that the latest large attacks have been outside the country.

[NautiNurse]

Good post, great info. Thanks.

[Britton J Wingfield]

But, but, on DU they said it was all just a PR ploy blowing up empty buildings.

[Prodigal Son]

They must've targeted the right people.

I just did a Google News search and I only found ONE single news article, VOA, which said this.

Why isn't our huge sucess FrontPage news in the NY Time, Washington Post and on the TV news?

I guess they do have a few stories, but are careful to AVOID dramatic headlines.

MSNBC's title is:

"U.S. general says new Iraq offensive working"

(i.e. it may not be true, it's not really a fact, but the general says this!)

Someone understands force!!! PC doesn't work in the 7th century.

Of course, this will be trumpeted tonight on ABCCBSNBCPBS! (...not holding my breath...)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The dogs of war should never have been put back into their cages.

BUMP

[battousai]

Anyone have links to the video he talks about in the article? Sounds pretty cool.

[Cobra64]

"...the Apache engaged it, killing two insurgents and wounding three others. Eight were captured...."

Ahhh... shredder fodder anyone? I know. I know. It just ain't civilised to think that way. But I don't like to see/hear about innocent folks being blown up.

The best defense is always a good offense. Get them on the ropes and keep them there.

[dennisw]

Rock 'em and sock 'em!! Go get the Jihadist and Baathist filth.

[diamondjoe]

The same thing happens in Israel when the IDF get's pi$$ed-off and strikes Hamas. Attacks taper off. Then they go soft, lift a few roadblocks and curfews, and they are right back where they started--more attacks. Let's hope we pursue this thing to the end.
