Where DOES this guy get such good sources??? I hadn't heard anything before about that battle with Ansar al-Islam terrorists this morning.Whatever the number [of Arabs flowing into Iraq to fight], we know that it doesn't include the 900 Ansar al-Islam terrorists who tried to get into Iraq this morning, and ran into some real soldiers. Ansar al-Islam is a Kurdish Sunni Islamic extremist group which is part of the al Qaeda organization. But they aren't too smart. When they got caught, they broke the first rule in the terrorist playbook: they got into a real fight with real soldiers, not the unarmed civilians they're used to killing. Those who survived fled back into Iran. Others, like the one who ran a pickup truck into a group of American soldiers this morning in Kuwait, won't be that dumb. (*snip*)
The Brits--who have learned a thing or two there--attacked a terrorist position before dawn today southeast of Basra. The Royal Marine Commandos--some of the best there are--captured an Iraqi colonel and a large cache of weapons including about two dozen SAMs. Very well done, gents. Intelligence makes all the difference. Which is why the Brits' push is part of what they call "Operation James." As in Bond, James Bond.
