| 100 hard boyz rounded up in Iraq |
| 2004-02-06 |
| U.S. and Iraqi forces captured more than 100 suspected guerrillas in raids across the country, arresting one of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chiefs and another Iraqi believed involved in a suicide bombing last month, a U.S. commander said Thursday. The raids on Wednesday and Thursday occurred as daily attacks on U.S. forces are climbing after a recent lull. Rebels lobbed a mortar shell Thursday at a checkpoint near Baghdad International Airport, killing one U.S. soldier and wounding another. The military also counted a few high-level rebel suspects in a string of recent arrests. Chief among them was former Brig. Gen. Abu Aymad al-Tikriti, who was head of military intelligence in northern Iraq under Saddam’s regime, Kimmitt said. Al-Tikriti, believed to have commanded a guerrilla cell, was arrested along with three others near Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit on Thursday. On Wednesday, U.S. forces captured Majid Ali Abbas al-Dazi, suspected to have coordinated a suicide truck bombing Jan. 24 in the central town of Samarra, about 70 miles north of Baghdad. This guy should be rather interesting to hear from, since most of the suicide bombings are said to have been coordinated by al-Qaeda rather than the Baathists. This guy could be more of the link between al-Douri and Ansar al-Islam that we’ve been told about in the past. |

| #6 I think it's sad. Trolls are like ADD children. Look at that posting schedule. Poor lil' special-needs fella. Kind of feel sorry for him. He's doing the best he can do with his limited vocabulary and thought process. Maybe we should be more understanding of his desperate cry for relevance. |

| #3 Please stop responding to this NMM troll. Feeding him responses only makes him hungrier to generate more inflammatory material. Let's have a look at his postings through the board: 3:29:43 AM 3:36:19 AM 3:39:43 AM 3:41:26 AM 3:38:16 AM 3:44:07 AM 3:47:19 AM 3:51:35 AM 3:57:42 AM 4:00:31 AM 4:03:08 AM 4:07:46 AM For 40 minutes worth of "work", he gets to reload the page again and again for hours, gleefully reading responses with misspellings and sentence fragments to his shot-from-the-hip comments. The best thing to do is simply ignore the attacks, so that they appear by themselves with no responses. Remember, this isn't a representation of actual viewpoints or an exchange of ideas, it's just some bored guy trying to inject some excitement into his mundane life when he's sitting in front of a computer at 3:30am on a weeknight. |

| #2 And more Iraqis are NOT being killed by Saddam and his sons. Far more Iraqi civilians are not being murdered by Saddam's regime today than Americans are dying. Your side is the one that is supposed to care more about the Iraqi civilians than us. But all this line of argument proves is your own hypocracy. As well as your irrational bigotry. |
