US MARINES in Fallujah are destroying a vast network of tunnels and underground bunkers used by rebels.

Warplanes have dropped four 2000lb bombs on the tunnels in a bid to kill remaining insurgents.

The blasts set off 45 minutes of explosions as underground munitions dumps were ignited.

Soldiers yesterday discovered a warren of bunkers linked by tunnels. The network had even been stocked with medical supplies.

US and Iraqi troops have secured Fallujah after six days of street battles,but fighting continued last night as soldiers tried to mop up pockets of resistance.

I read earlier that the US forces have killed an estimated 1600 terrorists.

A significant group of terrorists left for Mosul and set up camp.

Once we take them out, will we have reduced the terrorists to an easily managed group?

I had an etrememly busy weekend, so I am not up on the news.

The other thing that bothers me is that these rat holes may have held hostages, including Capt. Speicher.

The casualties trying to clean out the tunnels with infantry would be enormous.

The only thing that bothers me about this is that we may never know how many terrorists were in the tunnels and were killed. I want to know the score.

Weigh the remains and divide by 100.

I want to know the score.

The score is always 1:0, 1:1 or 0:1. This is not football! This time it looks like 1:0 for our team.

Throw the pieces in a bin and weight it. Figure every 150 pounds of pieces=1 terrorist.
