‘Operation Flush-out is on’
2004-01-15
At least 650-700 militants have been killed or apprehended or have surrendered in Operation Flush-out in Bhutan. These include Ulfa, NDFB and KLO militants.
Pull the handle.
Lt-Gen. JS Varma, GOC-in-C Eastern Command, stated the operation is still continuing. According to Army sources, the operation is in its residual phase. All the 30 known camps of the Indian insurgents in Bhutan have been burnt down by the Royal Bhutan Army, and militant operations have been terminated. The border sealing operations of the Indian Army in Assam are still on.
That leaves the place where the shit goes after you flush, Bangladesh. Fitting choice of words, don’t you think?

#6  Bhutan seems to know how to deal with this shit. No worries about BCLU lawsuits, movie star ravings, court challenges, the "sensitivities" of the world community, etc. Just get in there and kill the bastards and end the threat to their survival. I like the approach.

#4  Steve---I am not knowledgeable in the Bhutan language, but Operation Flush-out would refer probably to hunting. But considering the type of characters that the Royal Bhutan Army is dealing with at the moment, your scata-logical inference is an appropriate reference here to the ops and shows a cunning sense of liguistics. Heh heh heh.
