Will these pictures be on the MSM tonight, positively showing the Surge?

“She and another female worker have disappeared. (Photo: CBS)”

I like that particular phrase.

Bump to a great post!

I wonder if CBS shared their information with our guys or are they neutral when it comes to the U.S. vs them?

>>>That’s sure what it looks like.<<<

The key hope for Democrats to regain total power is an unquestionable defeat of the US in Iraq.

They can't stand the truth....unless its bad for the U.S.

The mainstream media is complicit in the coverup of "good news" and the focus on "bad news".

I think I blacked out from holding my breath on that one, lol!

Red smoke in Vietnam would get you a 500 pounder or a rocket on your butt if there was anyone above looking for it. Not wise to pop it unless it was planned, but any other color was OK for other purposes.

What is the point in the guy wearing the bright blue and yellow suit covering his face? His outfit will give him away far easier than his face would.

Civilian casualties are occurring, despite much discretion being used on the firing. I saw three MLRS rockets hit targets downtown today (June 20) and more were fired. Watched the video feed from the TOC as some of them hit. The targeting was perfect. Our guys had cleared out the civilians, but the enemy starts shootouts using civilians as cover. American officers are trying to account for civilian casualties; media is asking and command is still unable to answer, which of course looks like a cover-up. From what I see on the ground, there is no cover-up. The number is unknown but certainly there must be some.

Thanks. Been viewing all the associated postings regarding operation Arrowhead-Ripper. Prayers for all our troops engaged in this activity. Obviously as goons are being killed in Diyala province similiar actions are taking place in other areas.
Many of the goons that where forced to flee from al Anbar during 2005 and set up house in and around the capital, then forced to flee to Diyala and attempt creating another safe hold, are now finally going to meet their maker. By all indications a few thousand of them shall perish in the weeks to come.
