I’ve been pretty discouraged over the last few days about the goings-on in Iraq. The current strategy has appeared to be to run out the clock. While this is probably the smartest thing to do in Najaf, I think otherwise in Fallujah. As I say, it’s been discouraging.
There’s a great “Letter from the Front” over on Citizen Smash. Definitely not PC.
What you won’t hear on audio-bites “…parts of Falluja/Ramadi still under enemy control…” or from those fat phoney ****s Kennedy and Kerry et.al. is this: “Dad, we are kicking the living **** out of those mother****ers.” It seems that the group that got ambushed were elements of ‘G’ 2/4. The rags set up diversional ambush sites elsewhere in Ramadi to draw attention and devoted their main effort on the Golf”s routine foot patrol. Nick has been told that the Ramadi front is designed to take heat off Falluja (2/1 and 1/5…1st recon is there as well). MAP 3 was called to provide relief to ‘G.’ Nick says that as they moved up, the rags were performing disciplined, as he calls it, “bounding fire and movement—they knew what they were doing—even when we knocked them back, they were ‘bounding’ ” When I asked if he had cranked-off any rounds he replied with disgust, “Uhhh…yeahhhhh” (a version of ‘no duh’)…Dad our platoon alone has killed over 200 of those (again) mother****ers.”
