#1 but the soldiers came under "heavy and accurate fire" from a nearby Iraqi police checkpoint

Well at least you can't say we don't train them well...

#5 The captured lieutenant was a "high-ranking" leader of a cell suspected of helping coordinate Iranian support for Shiite extremists...

The problem is Islam. The problem has always been Islam.

#7 The U.S. troops captured the lieutenant in a pre-dawn raid in Baghdad, but the soldiers came under "heavy and accurate fire" from a nearby Iraqi police checkpoint, as well as intense firing from rooftops and a church, the military said in a statement.

These punks don't have enough cover by firing from moskkks, that they now have to use Churches too? Is it just me, or is this reminiscent of the Church of Bethlehem/Paleo thingy a few years ago? I'd be careful Mr. Policeman, as God still has a smite button as far as I can tell, and can use whom He wills to smite (as in the US Military).

#8 "Purging the force of a militia presence is one of the political benchmarks sought by Washington"

And a Damn fine purge it was!

#9 Purging the force of a militia presence is one of the political benchmarks sought by Washington

Lots of luck with that. Militias will always hold sway in any society that allows Islam to flourish within its midst. Islam doesn't allow for allegiance to a state/nation--it allows only allegiance to Allan, er, Allah. As a result, all it takes to crank up a militia is the claim "We're more Islamic than the others."

Islam is the problem. Islam has always been the problem.
