TASK FORCE “ALL AMERICAN” SOLDIERS DISRUPT ATTEMPTS TO EMPLACE IED

AL FALLUJAH, Iraq—Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 16th Mechanized Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, attached to 82nd Airborne Division, killed three enemy personnel emplacing an improvised explosive device last night at approximately 8:30 p.m.

The soldiers were conducting a patrol along the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 10 when they observed two individuals digging a hole in the median. A sedan arrived shortly after. Three personnel exited the car and began walking towards the two individuals digging. One of the individuals from the sedan was carrying a large object to the hole.

The observing troops determined that the individuals were emplacing an IED and initiated direct fire.

Three of the personnel were killed. One of the individuals fled to the north with the unknown object, while another escaped to the south.

Soldiers immediately contacted the local police force. They arrived at the scene and took possession of the vehicles and bodies. No Coalition soldiers were injured in this incident.

Good work by the 82nd!

I hope whoever escaped with that device later tripped and detonated it.

[LiteKeeper]

HOOAH - for the Big Red One!

[VaBthang4]

Hahaha DMV workers installing a stop sign.

LOL

No seriously, good work!

[50sDad]

I'm sorry, but you realize this is not news and won't be reported. After all, there was no American killed, no American dragged through the streets, no innocent local child slain by a error in American judgement...it fails all the standard tests that would determine if it is going to be on the Evening News.

[MEG33]

Amen!May every bomb detonate early at the workshop.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Iraqi "road kill".

[Yardstick]

Well done troops! I like hearing about people who plant IUD's being shot and killed.

[MindBender26]

Too bad they didn't rip a tracer through the fusing assembly!

[NormsRevenge]

They should have stayed out in'da bushes..

Good work, 82nd!

[Riley]

Well done troops! I like hearing about people who plant IUD's being shot and killed

That statements created some really weird mental images. You're sure you meant IUDs?

[BBell]

Let me get this straight. 5 guys. 3 shot dead, 2 get away.
One of the guys who got away was carrying the "large object" while running under fire. Hence, no bomb was recovered. I hate to be cynical but...

[Fee]

I think he meant IED (Improvised Explosive Device). IUD is a birth control device (ROTFL)!!!

[OXENinFLA]

Great post, I'd much rather read about IED this way as opposed to only reading about them after they've gone off and killed.

The observing troops determined that the individuals were placing an IED and initiated direct fire.

I'm just guessing these troops were sitting on their triggers like puppies waiting for their master to toss a ball.....

Sir, can we open fire?

No.

Sir, can we open fire?

No.

Sir, positive ID on IED.

OPEN FIRE!!!!!!!!!

[Yardstick]

LOL -- whoops!

[Coop]

I like hearing about people who plant IUD's being shot and killed.

If they're planting IUDs without permission, I can understand why they're being shot and killed. :-)

I presume you meant IEDs.

LOL! When I read the headline I read it as IUD also. It was: "HUH....IUD's????" LOL.

Man, one letter and instant (embarrassing) comedy. Oh well, there are only a hundred-thousand members looking on...

I know - I used to be in the Combat Engineer racket- I thought he was being funny. LOL!

[DonnerT]

If the guy got away with the "IUD" it will be reported that we ar killing innocent docters.

[American Infidel]

How correct you are in your assessment that this news will not make any of the so-called "mainstream" (read that: left wing)news broadcasts. In fact, I would surmise that a Jennings, Rather or Koppel staffer would be fired on the spot for even suggesting that this story should be part of the evening's newscast.

[malia]

Good work!!! 82nd!!!Way to stay alert!!!

Lets just hope no Democrat hears of this - they just might charge the guys with aggravated assault and communicating a threat to the Iraqi!!!! And remember when you catch them, just ask nicely for information about the planned attack on our American troops, don't hurt them!!!!

"On September the 11th, 2001, the terrorists left their mark of murder on my country and took the lives of 67 British citizens. With the passing of months and years, it is the natural human desire to resume a quiet life and to put that day behind us as if waking from a dark dream. The hope that danger has passed is comforting, is understanding and it is false."

"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq and pay a bitter cost of casualties and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins. "

That is exactly the kind of swift justice I like seeing in Iraq. No time for courts. :-)

[HiJinx]

Amen. This is war, not a bloody court of law.....

Once again, we've allowed the Left to shape the debate by determining the vocabulary we use.

Justice has nothing to do with what we should be doing in Iraq. Leave that to the streets of New York and London.

[steveegg]

Successful stop to the Left's wishes bump.

My pleasure.

[b4its2late]

One of the individuals fled to the north with the unknown object

It would've been better if the thing exploded as he/she fled way out in some field somewhere... Hopefully they'll find the perp.

[reformedliberal]

While I am sure your "dragged through the streets" reference was to Somalia, be aware that the so-called dragging and bashing w/concrete blocks in Iraq has been debunked.

The media, having failed with the Tonkin analogy, or the Tet analogy, is now on to the Mogadishu analogy. Since they weren't taught about The American Revolution, War of 1812, WWI, WWII or Korea while in school, they are unaware of the US having ever won any war.

In any event, they are now blatantly making things up.

Now that's the kind of news I like to read.

Soldiers of our nation, keep it coming, shoot steady and never doubt for a moment that America loves you and stands behind you no matter what.

Pass it on.
