Mojack420:I agree,maybe the Islomofacists should of thought of that,2,000 to 3,000 years ago,problem is,they don’t know
when their beat.

Do we know if the Iraqi army or police gave their blessing, turned a blind eye, otherwise knew and allowed the operation neighborhood asswooping?

I like the idea of them taking back their neighborhood, but are you worried about other neighborhoods following suit and a breakdown of law and order? Mookie style?

Miltias are what made us a country. It is hard to understand and comprehend today, but it happened.

I think we still need ‘em.

Mission accomplished?

I think so, but then I thought that the mission was accomplished a long time ago.

WMD – check

We can have a big parade for all the Soldiers and Marines as they all come home over the next few months.
They should all be home by this coming July 4th. We can have it then.
Be sure to RSVP.

While the events he describes occurred, I believe he embellished on the facts and selectively ignored the contribution of the Iraqi Army and of my Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment. His characterizations of Abu Abed as a “Sunni warlord” and the Forsan al-Rafidain as the “only authority inside” Ameriyah are completely off base.

He goes on to describe the control measures and other aspects of direct and extensive US and Iraqi government involvement in pacifying the neighborhood.
