Some 50 rebels have been killed and another 100 captured since the start of a joint US-Iraqi offensive in western Iraq, the US military says.

Damnit! If no Americans die, its not news! Stop printing things like this! How are we supposed to stop the war, impeach Bush and get back our power if good stories are written?

About 1,000 US and Iraqi troops were taking part in Operation Dagger, which also targeted what the US military believed was a rebel base north-west of the capital, Baghdad.

Really putting the crunch to them NOW!!!

News for the back pages, all good news is to be concealed by any means necessary, for the good of our country, right?

The country will never be right until the Libs are in power, then all will be well, just like it was when Bubba was Prez.

GOOD! Pray for our military to be protected and kill the enemy they seek and for the enemy within too be exposed!

Add a couple of zeros to that 50 and I'll be a lot happier. Die terrorist jackels...

I mistakenly posted in another thread the information that my neighbor has a nephew in Iraq and according to him (nephew) the number of terrorists being killed are vastly under reported by a factor of at least 10.

I sure hope it's true.

A continued great job by our guys in the field - Of course the MSM will ignore our continued success (sickening).

Though I will say the WH needs to start getting back out there and reestablishing the fact to the American public that we are at WAR and will continue to be for some time.

And this doesn't just mean GWB. It means the whole PR apparatus should be focusing on ways to keep the American public truly informed on this continuing war and all our successes. We need to counter the daily MSM negative spin.

Soldiers on the ground around the globe are doing their part to kick as$ the WH (and the RNC for that matter) need to make sure they are doing their part back here!!

The difference in this story from the BBC and the one from AP is that in this one they use the word "claims" success.

Is it "rebels" we are fighting over there? I think not, these animals are Saudi, Algerian, Jordanian, Chechen, Pakistani and they are trained and equipped by enemies of the United States. Rebels poppycock!
