Abu-Tariq is not a happy man. He had 600 fighters. Now he is down around 40, give or take some brothers and sons.

al-Sawah is the Awakening/Concerned Local Citizens/Sons of Iraq, and they have been a source of great trouble to Abu-Tariq.

Finances, property accountability, and the sick lame and lazy list took up much of his time.

Somebody post a pic of a C5 rocket.

Is this a BKC?

There were almost 600 fighters in our Sector before the Tribes changed course 360 degrees...

They must be getting dizzy.

re: before the Tribes changed course 360 degrees

I hate to be a nit picker BUT that change of course would bring your heading right back to where you started. Probably meant 180 degrees but with their habit of exaggerating everything they probably thought 360 would be twice as good as 180. Graduates, cum laude, no doubt of the Baghdad Bob school of PR.

Names of People who are still working with al-Qaeda:

You just gotta love lists, especially long ones with lots of names.

[maine-iac7]

Of course, this will make the MSM - so's Americans can get sense of just HOW successful the surge is...(not to mention that our guys got ahold of this and the names of those remaining in this group along with what weapons they still have and where they are...

“Now he is down around 40..”

That is 41 too many.

- Battalion of Abu-Haydar al-Ansari: ......[Was 300. Now down to 1 and he's injured.]

That's a mighty thin bench you've got there Abu.

[Tennessee_Bob]

I sure feel sorry for that Redacted guy. He’s got to be running his ass off over there, trying to cover all those units.

'Sons of Iraq' is now the preferred term according to Gen. Petraeus. He also has been referring to 'al Qaeda Iraq' to differentiate from any other group.

Don't miss SandRat's thread, same subject.

[Allegra]

Brothers, I want you to know that i will only mention the names of fighters who were faithful to our cause and stood by us when we needed them...

Cool! Because those are just the names we'd like to see.

Thanks, Abu Tariq, you filthy al Qaeda loser-scum! :-D

[centurion316]

Not to mention that these 40 fighters will have to be absent for a considerable period of time, since they are all super delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

We gave him our business and received [$10,000] from him as a down-payment but he still owes us another [$10,000], and late we gave him [$28,000] to get the Lorry back but he did not return it yet (the actual owner of the dealership is [REDACTED]

Huh. So basically he paid $18,000 to someone who owed him $10,000 in order to get back a vehicle that was effectively stolen, and didn't even get it back. Heh heh... "sure, I'll buy it from you." [thinking] "And I'll 'put some money down on it' and figure you won't live to collect the rest, you dolt."

[AliVeritas]

Outstanding job.

Somebody post a pic of a C5 rocket

[snip!]the weapons that are in the possession of [REDACTED] are 2000 C5 Rockets plus an RPG-9 but he refuses to give us any of it lately and we do not know what his intention is in that regard

Not *actually* a rocket, but a rocket/grenade for the SPG-9M gun-launcher of the BMP-1 and BMD-1, also available on a ground mount for Infantry or pickup bed mounts- and bad news for Humvees and Strykers. Their source is probably getting more money selling them [PGV-15 version] in the US:
