Evil Warplanes-Sorties
2003-02-23
Baghdad, Feb. 22, Ina
The evil warplanes of the U.S. and Britain launched on Friday 54-armed sorties coming from Kuwait territory aided by AWACS and E-2c planes. A spokesman for the air defence command told Ina that the enemy ravens flew over Basra, Nasiriya, Samawa, Qal'at Sukkar, Imara, Hai, Diwaniya, Hashimiya, Talha, Rutba, Traibeel and al-Waleed. This brought the total figure of armed sorties conducted by the Aggressive ravens coming from bases in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey over the period Dec. 17, 1998-Feb. 21, 2003 to 49,186, the spokesman said.
Busy little beavers, ain't we?

#1  Odd. Normally when we make 54 sorties, they somehow manage to shoot down 58 aircraft.
