More proof the surge has failed, and the war in Iraq has been lost …
The above picture JUST became one of my top favorite of the war, BTW.
Fuck you, Jack Murtha and Co. Fuck you …
Coalition forces destroy Al-Qaeda in Iraq safe haven, financing
BAGHDAD (MNFI) – Coalition forces destroyed an al-Qaeda in Iraq safe haven when they seized money, destroyed weapons and detained nine suspected terrorists during two operations in the Tigris River Valley ending June 26.
Reporting indicates al-Qaeda in Iraq operatives used the area to build car bombs, facilitate foreign terrorists and provide safe haven for key leaders. During patrols near Tikrit, about 160 kilometers north of Baghdad, Coalition forces discovered a weapons cache that included firearms, more than 3,500 rounds of ammunition and bomb components. During the two-day mission, a patrol near Samarra, about 110 kilometers north of Baghdad, located six rocket-propelled grenade launchers. The patrols also uncovered more than 6 million Iraqi Dinar, which is equal to about $5,600 U.S. dollars and detained two suspected terrorists.
After moving civilians away at each location, Coalition forces safely destroyed the weapons on sites.

Al-Qaeda’s propaganda network thwarted
BAGHDAD (MNFI) – Coalition forces battered the terrorist propaganda network in Baghdad Saturday and Sunday, killing two terrorists and detaining 15 suspects while targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq associates around the country.
Coalition forces surrounded a location in Baghdad Saturday targeting a leader of an al-Qaeda in Iraq propaganda cell. Coalition forces engaged and killed one man who drew a weapon when they entered the target building. They engaged and killed another suspected terrorist when they perceived hostile intent from his failure to follow Coalition forces’ instructions. Six suspects who fled to nearby homes were detained, including a man assessed to be the targeted leader. Using information from that operation, Coalition forces conducted several more operations in the city Sunday, confiscating propaganda materials and detaining five more suspected terrorists allegedly tied to the network.
During another operation in Baghdad Saturday, Coalition forces captured a wanted man believed to conspire with AQI leaders.
Coalition forces in Mosul captured a suspected AQI agent and one additional suspected terrorist Sunday. The agent is believed to have close contact with several AQI senior leaders. About 90 kilometers south in Sharqat, Coalition forces detained a suspected terrorist believed to be tied to a bombing network in the area.

Here’s to the Coalition! 
June 29th, 2008 at 8:45 amGood going guys
June 29th, 2008 at 8:48 amThe Iraqi kids just love them American Troops! Maybe as much as we (the Right) do.
June 29th, 2008 at 9:20 amHow many troops of other nations in the world do you think would fall to a knee for another country’s children?
I love our men and women in arms …
June 29th, 2008 at 9:30 amThat is a *great* photo - who shot it? Yon? You need to give the attribution and make it viral. A great comeback to the “babykiller” meme of the moonbats.
June 29th, 2008 at 10:28 amAren’t the moonbats the ones that kill babies everyday at abortion clinics? They are the baby-killers while our military does everything possible, everyday, to save young lives in these countries.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:16 pmThey better kill them, otherwise our Supreme court will give the terrorists a lawyer, to sue our troops and let the terrorists go free.
June 29th, 2008 at 12:43 pmHow can anyone that theoretically has a functional brain think that allowing Obama to become President would be good for the country again? I hear something like, “It will teach the GOP a lesson” or some equally inane and idiotic slogan like that.
An Obama Presidency would negate the picture above a million times over, would it not?
I “stole” this picture, modified it, and posted it here:

June 29th, 2008 at 1:53 pmRegarding the kid in the above photo…We…the U.S., have to maintain a military presence in Iraq for 40 years…at least.
That kid and the rest of his generation will be in their 50’s…right now they know the difference between good and evil and in 40 years they’ll understand the difference between a corrupt government and the benefits of one that’s relatively clean.
All they need is a chance to make it happen.
PS - BHO…you listening? YOU ASSHAT!

None that I’ve seen or heard of. Another question…How many Iraqi kids would be comfortable enough with other nations troops to get this close - On him close? Those kids love our troops because our troops have hearts full of compassion for them. Heck we’ve even had troops adopt Iraqi children who had no family and bring them here to the states.
Yep, the love in our troops hearts is the attraction for these kids. They’ve seen hate and they now see love. They know the difference.
Mike3481 - Amen! These kids are the future of Iraq and these kids will be our kids friends and true allies.
June 29th, 2008 at 2:24 pmThere are going to be a lot of young Iraqi boys who are going to grow up in the coming years and want to be just like their heros. I have a feeling that that role model is going to look alot like an American Soldier and not the AQ baby killers
June 29th, 2008 at 4:40 pmGreat Picture. Agree with what others have said, as those kids grow, they will be our kids allies. Note that the little boy is standing on the soldiers boot, like a son or daughter would stand on their dad’s shoe if talking to their dad like that. The picture says so much that the libturd dimcraps will never understand.
