"TERRORIST al-Qaeda camp" in northern Iraq has been bombed by US warplanes, a lieutenant commander involved in the mission has said.

Speaking on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Brazelton, said: "We left without knowing the target and once we got there talking to the airborne commander ... they gave us co-ordinates." Asked what the target of the raid was, he answered: "It was a terrorist al-Qaeda camp."

He added that the camp was hit by guided bombs and the raid was carried out by three formations each comprising eight fighter bombers.

Seems this was reported as a "one-liner" a few days ago. Here is a bit more detail from the guys who did it.

And of course it couldn't have been an Al Qaeda camp, after all there is no relationship between Al Qaeda and Iraq, right?

[stimpyone]

this camp has operated in a kurdish controlled area of Iraq.

Can't be. "Everyone knows" that one of the worst aspects of this "criminal invasion" is that it is deflecting attention from the war on Terrorism.

Just ask Daschle, Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry, Howard whats-his-name from Vermont, etc.

HA HA

Al kaida (intentionally misspelled) went buh-bye LOL... LMAO.

I love it when they get ripped to shreds.

The Kurdish terrorists opened their doors to Al Qaeda, Saddam has no control over this part of Northern Iraq.

[doug from upland]

All right, Josh. You and the guys are going to have a good topic of conversation tonight.

After seeing you post this picture, I just had a thought: Maybe this is what Bin Laden looks like now. No wonder he doesn't want to show his new face on TV. LOL

"TERRORIST al-Qaeda camp" in northern Iraq has been bombed by US warplanes,

I'd like to see: "Terrorist al-qaeda camp hit by Navy SEALS, All terrorists dead, captured documents reveal connection between saddam, osama, and the DNC."

[Irishguy]

i think there WERE around 500 or 600 terror types up there...so i think a couuple of well placed 2000lb'ers does the job just nicely, thank you very much...i think they got 200 + in the raid -- the Al Jaceera (aka Bin Ladens mouth piece) apparently showed body parts up there on tv to stir up the middle east.

I can't control my bladder, particularly when I am in a French retail store.

Aside from sponsoring Palestinian terrorists, having links to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, invading sovereign countries, starting wars, slaughtering over a million of his own people, and planning biological, chemical, and nuclear attacks on western countries, what has Saddam Hussein ever done to us? (snicker, snicker)
