Post-al-Zarqawi raids kill 104 insurgents
2006-06-15
BAGHDAD, Iraq - American and Iraqi forces have carried out 452 raids since last week's killing of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed during those actions, the U.S. military said Thursday.

Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, said the raids were carried out nationwide and led to the discovery of 28 significant arms caches. He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143 were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also resulted in the captures of 759 "anti-Iraqi elements." Yup, it's a Quagmire.

#5  It seems to me to be a race against time now. The MSM will hopefully soon have to deal with explaining their behavior before the people who pay too much attention to them start figuring it out.

#2  The other 759 have an excellent chance of dying in Iraqi captivity.
