U.S. fighter jets pounded suspected terrorists insurgent positions Tuesday in the largest bombardment of terrorists guerrillas
(I thought the zoo was elswhere? Go figure.)
in central Iraq since President Bush declared the end of major combat in May, the U.S. military said.
These asshats keep bringing this point up: "since President Bush declared the end of major combat." It is obvious what they are attempting to do. But they should know this: These same asshats who would like to betray us as loosing ground in Iraq are of the same fabric of reporters who believe we lost the war in Vietnam. Wrong. We may have pulled back from the battle in Vietnam, however we won the war. Vietnam was one slice of the larger historical landscape during the Cold War. And we one that war. So when we here the constant drum beat that Bush declared the end to major combat, just remember that this declaration one slice of history at that given point and time. This war is ours to win. And we will.
In northern Iraq, terrorists guerrillas detonated a roadside bomb, wounding two soldiers, the military said. On Monday, a U.S. civilian contractor was killed in an insurgent attack near Baghdad, the military said without elaborating.
God bless him.
Near Baqouba, 30 miles northeast of Baghdad, U.S. jets and Apache helicopter gunships Tuesday blasted abandoned buildings, walls and trees along a road where attacks have been so common that troops nicknamed it "RPG Alley" after the rocket-propelled grenades used by insurgents. Fighter-bombers dropped 500-pound bombs and tanks fired their 120mm guns at suspected ambush sites, the military said. F-16 fighter aircraft dropped two bombs Tuesday on terrorists insurgent targets near the town of Samara, about 60 miles north of Baghdad. On Monday, 4th Infantry Division soldiers also killed six known alleged terrorists insurgents in the Tikrit area as they pressed their search for a former Saddam deputy, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who is believed to be orchestrating attacks.
Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, may you rot in Hell.
