Got an e-mail from my best friend serving as an XO of a cav squadron in Tikrit. He says he's waiting for the CG to let loose and stop with all the politics.

In other words, our boys aren't even getting warmed up yet.

Great reporting, your efforts are are a major contribution to FR in my humble opinion. I was unhappy to hear a dope being interviewed on Fox News today make the remark that we must give up some of our civil liberties in the face of the terrorist threat. I wanted to jerk him around by his lapels.

The point of our war effort is to preserve our freedoms and civil liberties at all costs. That cost, as far as I am concerned, can include the annihilation of the entire Middle East if neccessary. I think it is the height of stupidity to agree to a one sided cease fire, it is the height of stupidity not to wipe this town off the map to serve as an example of our determination to wipe terrorist, and those that give them shelter, from the face of the earth.

These idiots are lucky that the whole crowd didn't just get obliterated.

I'll bet any money that they think they're 'politicians'. I would have loved to hear that conversation!

In Fallujah, Marine heroes successfully raid and seize several weapon caches
and tools used to make explosive devices AND the terrorists.

Warriors at work.

Great. Well done American soldjers. It is a war between good and evil, between freedom and terrorism. All the allies of darkness in the middle east came together, Fashist sunnis, arab nationalists, Iranian terrorists, with thier fanatic friends. Sadrs army and other shia militias have made friends with Turkoman front (backed and funded by Turkish government), and much liked by thier Syrian friends and supported by Iran were terrorising Kurds in Kirkuk city for the last year. fighting against America and the changes they fear in the middle east. They want to establish the greater Islam Empior to role the world and and terrorise people. You have all the support of Kurdish nation in the four parts of kurdistan ( south , west , east and north). They should never succeed, or will be a disaster to the free world and what we kurds are fighting for for last centery. I am delighted as for the first time America stand really and in practice with real democracy and freedom.I was delighted to hear Mr Bushe's Speech yesterday. do not let axis of thieves and terrorists win.
It is a real time for Iraqies to decide either they are with tyranni, or freedom. They must say it loud, any one who can not say it loud do not deserve freedom, those groups who run and did not fight the gangs.
USA should test those groups and leaders in Iraq, it is the time to find out who pretends to be democratic and who is really freedom loving and want to sacrifice for thier freedom. There is no difference between saddam and his gang and sadr and his gang or other political parties who want to dominat and establish an Islamic state once they get to power. Don't let our sacrifices over years come to nothing.
ThankS again and was very great post. I was waiting for such a news over last week, still not sure that America will not leave or back down in face of pressure from media. Do not let Kurds down again. Now the world can see, these gangs who we have been forced to live with for a centrey. The brutality of killing those four American is the same brutlity of Saddams thugs who killed and terrorised kurds for over 40 years.

Welcome to FR! I take it you are Kurdish.

You missed the thread last week when pictures of Peshmerga troops coming to support the US MArines was posted. We were overjoyed that the Kurds are involved. We greatly appreciate your sacrifices.

The US media is doing everything it can to turn the American people against Bush, but it isn't working. There are too many of us who see past the lies. We fully intend to carry this war through to the end.
