Iraq's national security adviser Qassem Dawoud said the massive military operation to retake Fallujah "is accomplished" with about 1,000 insurgents killed and 200 captured.

"The Al-Fajr operation in Iraq is accomplished," he said.

"What is left is evil pockets which we are dealing with now.

"The number of terrorists and Saddam loyalists killed has reached more than 1,000. As for the detainees, the number is 200 people."

However Dawoud said that Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Fallujah insurgent leader Abdullah al-Janabi "have escaped".

He also said about 90% of Fallujah's residents had left the city before the Monday start of the mass ground assault.

I do recall reading that Fallujah doesn't have the best reputation in Iraq, a haven for smugglers, thieves...etc.

Whatever happened to combatants taken out-of-uniform being summarily shot?</B>

At this rate, a virgin shortage is going to develop...

Not to worry Sahib, Allah has made millions of clones of this virgin:

Who has that picture of pockets of resistance to post?

"1,000 insurgents killed

I got a problem with this virgin thing. After all, not all virgins are created equal. There's the California, beach-bunny virgin(?) and the arab virgin.

If I went to Paradise and had to have sex with 72 arab virgins, I would have to shoot myself.

Talk about a barrel full of buttholes.

Exactly. Najaf is now very calm, with generally good relations with Americans, though the Lamestream press HATES reporting this.

What's your problem? I see you're a newbie, 2004-11-12. Enjoying your stay here?

1,000 dead as troops take Fallujah

Not nearly enough.

Policy should have been: NO PRISONERS!

The live ones will be shooting at us sooner or later.

You stick out like a sore liberal. And your 24 hours of infamy will soon be over, after which you'll turn back into a DUmpkin.

Repeat after me: Americans bad, terrorists good, Americans bad, terrorists good. If your immorality had prevailed during WWII you would be speaking German or Japanese.

Its ashame there are so many virgins in hell.

[LachlanMinnesota]

Yes...They can kill Americans as well. What makes you think those that stay there are innocent because of their age or sex? Anyone can be evil or harbor evil doers.

[Tomalama]

Just remember, not all virgins are female.

Throughout this recent battle, I've seen papers report the enemy as "rebels" and the US military as "invaders" or the "invading force" countless times.

I'd much prefer our AMERICAN newspapers and wire services write like they did in the days when they supported the US troops overseas, with something like "1,000 Enemy Killed in Fallujah". Even if the figure includes women and children? Fenny, welcome to Free Republic. If women and children have been firing weapons at our troops, providing haven for terrorists, or supporting anti-coalition activities, they are the enemy. You've been here, what, 1 day? You'll have a little more credibility with your criticism if your first posts aren't aimed at criticising our soldiers as baby killers or our disgust with the enemy (yes, they are the ENEMY) as some kind of bloodlust.
