Allegations of Marines murdering conspirators who are hiding
terrorists is what they feed to the public on the alphabet tv channels and fish wrapper
newspapers. DemocRats like John Murtha are willing to condemn U.S. troops before all the
facts are in. Someone who truly supports the troops, even if they do not support Bush,
would want this incident fully investigated to uncover the truth. They would want to know
the facts. Belicose Murtha continues to pass gas from all orifices.
The Marines claimed they assaulted that location because someone inside fired upon them.
Was it a slaughter of innocents, or were insurgents firing from within civilian
homes? It is a fact that Al Queade and the lslamic Terrorists use
pyschological warfare techniques to influence world perception. The terrorists acquire
weapons from dead U.S. troops. They use them to kill innocent women and children from a
competing Islamic Sect. Many inhabitants in the area are warned about the upcoming IED.
They know in advance. They harbor the terrorists because they want to or from fear. The
terrorists covert contacts then send photos, videos, audio and written information about
the atrocities to Al Jazeera and the Mid East press. See Akmud, "The U.S. soldiers
blow up Mosques and shoot innocents. Look their is the U.S. weapon and the ballistic test.
The world press including the liberal U.S. media pick up the story and the U.S. public is
fed the lies. The liberals automatically accept the lies as fact and condemn the troops.
It fits their sick agenda. They hate Bush enough to want a defeat and retreat.
Those already passing judgment are the Sleaze Balls getting the majority of the slimy
press. If the latest incident is true, it is still a little overkill, but rather than
indicting the entire Marine Corps, the investigation appears to have narrowed the focus. The
troops are trained to fight and win. The DemocRats are trained to run and hide. A Marine
was unjustly accused of murdering Iraqis before: Remember Lt. Ilario Pantano.
He was proven innocent, but Wolf Blitzer, Larry King and the rest of that low life
breed give it little or NO attention.....thank God for the internet and may God Bless our
brave warriors in Iraq.
Terrorists in Iraq use Mosques
and hide behind women and children in homes to plan attacks against Coalition forces. Unreported News
from Iraq not suited for the liberal media's bias.
U.S. and Iraqi troops uncovered a massive weapons cache near Baghdad on Wednesday. The
cache was largely made up of materials used to make IEDs:…searched a house in New Baghdad and discovered 142 land mines, 58 blocks of C4
explosives, approximately 8,000 feet of detonation cord, 107 fuses, 22 rocket-propelled
grenades, a launcher, 59 mortars, 40 pounds of mortar propellant, four shape charges, 43
blasting caps, explosive-formed projectile materials, two gas masks, six two-way radios,
multiple mortar launching tubes, maps of Baghdad and Iraq, and anti-Iraqi force
literature.
The story continues: The discovery of weapons caches, often a result of a local's tip to
Iraqi or American forces, occur nearly every day in Iraq, but the May 10
discovery was particularly large.
In a press conference, Major General Lynch noted that tips from Iraqis have increased
significantly this year. During the first eleven days of May, Iraqis had phoned in more
than 1,500 phone calls. Lynch said that 98 percent of the tips contain usable
intelligence. The tips have been especially useful in the fight against al Qaeda and IEDs:
Improved intelligence and increasingly capable Iraqi security forces also led to the
capture or killing of more than 161 senior leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq, as well as a
marked decrease in effective improvised bombs. More than 50 percent of the bombs now are
found and defused before they can kill, he said.
Major Lynch also made a rather interesting statement, and I couldn’t agree more:
"People want to talk about what the enemy did. But they don't talk about what the
enemy couldn't do," Lynch said. "And there is a lot he couldn't do because of
that increased presence."
In a move to help quell sectarian violence, seven Sunnis were rescued from Shia militiamen
by U.S. and Iraqi forces Thursday. U.S. and Iraqi forces arrived in a village where the
kidnappings were under way after receiving a tip from village leaders. After a brief
gunfight with the militia, the hostages were rescued. Five of the kidnappers were wounded
and 36 taken into custody.
A newspaper affiliated with a Kurdish political party claimed that 1,577 Iranians had been
captured in the last month crossing the border into Iraq. Also this week, a top Sunni
political leader accused Iran of sending intelligence agents into Iraq and of setting up
operations centers in Iraqi towns.
ON THEIR OWN
The Iraqi army is now conducting independent operations in Diyala Province:
Iraqi army Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Army Division are
independently conducting operations in their area of Diyala Province. They are performing
tasks such as gathering their own intelligence, to patrolling their streets and hunting
suspected anti-Iraqi forces.
Independent operations are also being conducted by the Iraqi army in Mosul. Three
terrorists on the Iraqi army’s most-wanted list were captured during the operation
planned and executed solely by Iraqis:
The Iraqi brigade demonstrated their military planning skills by formulating the mission,
issuing appropriate orders to its subordinate units, and overwatching the conduct of the
operation.
SAME BAD TRICKS
Terrorists are still using
mosques and being hidden by families to
plan attacks against Coalition forces. In Baghdad, an IED exploded in the basement of a
mosque, killing one terrorist, and wounding two others.
A tip from an Iraqi led U.S. troops to a weapons cache, and to the capture of two members
of an IED-making terrorist cell.
U.S. and Iraqi forces captured an al Qaeda-cell leader in Adhamiyah. The captured
terrorist immediately sang like a canary and seven more terrorists were promptly rounded
up.
U.S. soldiers uncovered IED making equipment thanks to a tip from an Iraqi citizen. The
cached included an IED ready to go:
The cache included an IED ready for placement, nine anti-tank mines, eight hand grenades,
various other weapons and IED making equipment, as well as an improvised rocket launcher.
Three men on the Iraqi army’s most-wanted list were captured during an operation in
Mosul. The operation was planned and led by Iraqis.
Two terrorists were killed when they fired on Iraqi police in Tikrit. A search of the
building they were in led to the discovery of a tunnel and weapons cache:
The Soldiers uncovered a false wall that led to a tunnel system and another hidden door
that opened into a room used as clandestine sleeping quarters.
The “Ready First” Soldiers discovered a variety of weapons and munitions
scattered about the tunnel and underground room. A Katusha rocket, 10 rifle grenades, four
mortar rounds, three IEDs and two mortar tubes were seized.
Helicopters from the 101st Airbrone Division fired on two terrorist placing an IED during
a nighttime patrol, killing one and wounding the other.
In Julaybah, a terrorist compound was destroyed by Coalition forces:
After killing three terrorists and detaining four others, the troops conducted a thorough
search of the area. They found six affiliated vehicles, three of which were loaded with
various weapons and explosives to include rifles, mortars and improvised explosive device
material. The troops also uncovered numerous weapons caches with AK-47's, rocket propelled
grenades, mortar rounds and IED material.
Five safe houses, six cars, and all lethal material were destroyed on target. No civilians
were injured or harmed during the assault or resulting firefight.
Centcom released captured al Qaeda documents this week in which it is clear the terrorist
group is having a tough time in Iraq. An excerpt particularly relevant here: The actions
of the Iraqi Security Forces are having a significant negative impact on the
Mujahideen’s ability to operate in Baghdad. Al Qaida in Iraq attacks Mosques and
other public places to draw media attention and is having difficulty recruiting members
because the people of Iraq do not support its cause.
Great news, but here is how the Reuters’ story on the documents began:
A purported al Qaeda document published by the U.S. military may or may not be authentic
but its message that the Sunni Islamist guerrillas face problems in Iraq could reflect
reality, security experts said on Tuesday.
Fake but accurate, now where have I heard that before?
In Al Furat, a mostly Sunni area of Anbar, men said they were volunteering for the Iraqi
army because they are tired of the insurgency:
One 30-year-old Iraqi man accepted for enlistment said his younger brother had his left
leg amputated after infection set in from a gunshot wound from insurgents. He’s
hoping his enlistment in the Army is the beginning of the end of the insurgency in Al
Anbar Province, he said.
“He told me, my brother – ‘save our country,’” said the man
through an interpreter. “’Don’t let another guy end up like me.’ I
just do this for him.”
The young artists at the Cultural Attitudes Society art gallery in central Baghdad say
they are more free to express themselves now that Saddam is gone.
FOR THE CHILDREN
Students of Watertown High School in Wisconsin recently collected backpacks filled with
school supplies to send to Iraq. The success of “Operation Backpack” surprised
even its organizers:
We picked up 80 backpacks from the Educational Service Center that were donated to the
school district by the Watertown Kiwanis Club,” Mark McFarland, student council
president, said. “
Eight large boxes were filled with the items from the backpacks. Those boxes will be
shipped over to Iraq along with the backpacks.
The children of Sadr City are now going to school in new classrooms thanks to the Army
Corps of Engineers:
Among the schools getting makeovers was the Mustafa School, which serves 930 high school
students in the morning and 430 elementary students in the afternoon.
The $290,000 project included 300 new interior lights, 55 ceiling fans, 11 window air
conditioners, 300 square meters of new concrete playground surface, remodeling of
restrooms, roof repair, raising the perimeter security wall one meter, repairing all
broken glass and installing a steel mesh to protect all exterior windows, painting all
interior and exterior walls, and supplying a new 80kva generator.
“It’s one of 13 public-school renovations in East Baghdad that we oversaw in the
last year,” said Jeremy Way, project engineer with Gulf Region Central District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
JUST THE FACTS
And in case you missed it, here are some highlights from the latest Brookings’s Iraq
Index:
Actionable tips from Iraqis have increased every month this year. In January, 4,025 tips
were received; February, 4,235; and March, 4,578.
On an index of political freedom for countries in the Middle East, Iraq now ranks fourth,
just below Israel, Lebanon, and Morocco.
Crude oil production reached 2.14 million barrels a day (MBD) in April of this year. It
had dropped to 0.3 MBD in May of 2003.
Revenues from oil export have only slightly increased from prewar levels of $0.2 billion,
to $0.62 billion in April.
Electrical output is almost at the pre-war level of 3,958 megawatts. April's production
was 3,600 megawatts. In May of 2003, production was only 500 megawatts. The goal is to
reach 6,000 megawatts, and was originally expected to be met in 2004.
The unemployment rate in June of 2003 was 50-60 percent, and in April of this year it had
dropped to 25-40 percent.
Iraqi military casualties were 201 in April of 2006, after peaking at 304 in July of 2005.
As of December 2005, countries other than the U.S., plus the World Bank and IMF, have
pledged almost $14 billion in reconstruction aid to Iraq.
Significant progress has also been made towards the rule of law. In May 2003 there were no
trained judges, but as of October 2005 there were 351.
As of January 2006, 64 percent of Iraqis polled said that the country was headed in the
right direction.
Also as of January 2006, 77 percent said that removing Saddam Hussein was the right thing
to do.
In May of 2003, Iraqi security forces were estimated at between 7,000-9,000. They numbered
250,500 in March of this year.
The breakdown of foreign terrorists by country of origin is interesting. The largest
number come from Algeria, at 20 percent. The next two countries are Syria and Yemen, at 18
percent and 17 percetn, respectively.
The number of foreign terrorists fighting in Iraq was estimated at between 300 and 500 in
January 2004. That number increased in April of this year, to between 700 and 2,000.
From May 2003 and April 2006, between 1,000 and 3,000 anti-Iraqi forces have been killed
each month.
