4 guys held off 200 guys from the 101st Airborne for 6 hours??

Huh???

Anyways, good, there dead. Does this mean attacks on the troops are going to stop now? I hope so, but I highly doubt it.

it was the 202nd Airborne.

I've been wondering the same thing. Just doesn't make sense, does it?

it's hard to do when people are shooting at you.

it took. Every fucking town has 'negotiators' for people 'barricaded'. Why not at least TRY to capture them (not that I even believe it WAS them). This whole thing smells.

You sure do seem to be doing an awful lot of apologizing for the Shrub Cabal...why is that?
:eyes:

This was the easy 4 to kill.

Only took out 11 folks watching.

Not that the two brothers deserved to live a minute longer - they didn't - but I liked the old system of Courts and trials.

Through the looking glass off with their heads, then we will have a trial.

Does fit the pre-emptive mind set.

Now the attacks will stop NOT.

Think where this happened, MOSUL... Kurdish controlled
area... folks there is a national revolt in Iraq
building, just like 1923... and I doubt Hussein is
behind the revolt. (Or at least all of it, some elements
yes, Ba'athist, others he has no control... such as the Immans)

In 1923 there was a wide spread uprising against the
British, (I guess Tony forgot to tell George... not that the
kid would have listened. When the uprising comes, it is
going to catch our Military by surprise because from what
I have heard they have no clue about what happened in 1923...
or those who do, nobody is listening.

So when it finally happens, you heard it here first.

n/t

Hey, it can happen

Maybe it took that long because they were trying to figure a way to NOT kill them. If they had wanted them dead, they could simply have driven a tank through the front door.

jeezusfuckingchrist...were they afraid these guys would beam themselves up to a waiting mothership?
:eyes:

But if those inside were shooting out at the guys who had them surrounded, it's understandable that U.S. troops returned fire.

No one is going to stand around dodging bullets in the hopes that the enemy will surrender.

Waiting them out woulda been smarted but wouldn't have looked as good on TV.

That's why the Baghdad invasion was so terrifying to contemplate. Luckily they bribed the city's defenders, or we'd have thousands of trooper caskets to bury.

Were there many bystanders killed and injured in this urban scenario?

a massive retalition/revenge strike (possibly even against * family here. this IS personal family bizness after all)

i don't see how this makes anyone safer from attacks there. less so if anything. U&Q were not ambushing convoys, were they?

it will INCREASE the desire to oust the US for any that were concerned that Hussein & Sons would stage a comeback.
