Iraqi Police Kill 25 at Rebel Checkpoint
2004-11-08
This is a bit more like it. We can both play at the pretend we're civilians game, you cowardly fuckers.
Police have launched a surprise attack on an insurgent checkpoint south of Baghdad, killing 25 militants, Iraqi police said today. Some 60 police officers from the city of Hillah, dressed in civilian clothing, ambushed the militants in the Latifiyah area early yesterday, said an officer with the Babil provincial police force. During a fierce battle that lasted for several hours, 25 insurgents were killed, he said. Iraqi forces reported no casualties.

A confidence-builder, without a doubt. They may yet get the hang of this in short order.

#7  Another piece of good news. Well done to the Iraqi police - about time they got some serious payback.

#6  Yup,
Thats the way to go, always take the initiative
like we do with the Hamas.
If they are busy trying to hide from their fellow
iraqi's they wont have time to hatch new plots.

#5  Beautiful. Shows that (1) someone in charge in the Iraqi police is thinking creatively and (2) that the Iraqi police are up to the task. Beautiful.

#4  At-away-to-go Iraqis. Justice is beginning to shape up in Iraq. The terrorists need to be looking over their shoulders all the time. They need to feel that week-without-sleep thousand yard stare just prior to being iced.

#3  Pretend you are women and carry UMP-45s under your Burka and a purse full if mags and grenades. That will make the terrorist sphinter tighten.

#1  Now this I like. It will make the "insurgent's" be afraid to trust the civilians. Pretend they are women next.
