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.
No trolls...
You mean like Americans liberated hostage slaughterhouses.
I don't think they'd have me, I'm not American :-)
Then the democrats would love you!
See, most democrats hate themselves, America and Americans!
The MSM (nbc and cnn) are saying the terroris are now setting up shop in Mosul.
"MSM: We snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."
The idea is to kill the terrorists. They cannot be rehabilitated. We've let some go out of Git-mo and they go immediately back to terrorism. Therefore the only good terrorist is a dead terrrorist. It's just that simple.
Not if the other point of view is ill informed and without merit. Leave troll.
I don't think they'd have me, I'm not American :-)
Neither are they. (The "leaders" anyway.)
You can learn a lot more that way than by being prejudiced, don't you think?
So you're automatically assuming we're prejudiced? How did you arrive at that conclusion? By the fact that we're on this forum? Hmm. Something must have made you jump to the conclusion that we are all prejudiced here. Maybe it was your own prejudice.
What gives you the right to speak for the dead? Just as their votes do not count among the living, your invocation of your ancestor is out of line. If he fought with the US, why would you assume he is a pacifist in heaven? My guess is he would support us.
It is unlikely there are 72000 moslem virgins over the age of 6.
Problem with this line [getting kind of old in any event] is that WE are still the same as we were in 1941, someone had to attack us first and THEN the stuff hit the fan.
With some exceptions it is "all over the world" that's changed.
You would'nt happen to be a virgin would you?
No, they just didn't want to take virgins that the rank and file would need.
At 43 I pretty much know what I believe in...debate was great in college...at some point you have to pick a side and stick to it...
Now, let's kill Zarqawi.
1000 terrorists is a good start.
