Hoo Rah! Now that is what I call a good old fashioned American made ass-whuppin'
The strikes, carried out above approaching U.S. and Iraqi troops, was part
of Operation Phantom Phoenix, a nationwide campaign launched Tuesday against Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The air raid was followed by a ground attack that led to 12 arrests and the discovery of two houses used to torture kidnap victims, according to an Iraqi army officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said the troops faced no resistance.
A military statement said two B-1 bombers and four F-16 fighters dropped the bombs on 40 targets in Arab Jabour in 10 strikes. Al Qaeda fighters are believed to control Arab Jabour, a Sunni district lined with citrus groves and scarred by daily violence."Thirty-eight bombs were dropped within the
first 10 minutes, with a total tonnage of 40,000 pounds," the statement
said. LINK
Even the name (see red above) was perfect for a good old fashioned balsy display of American bullying. You can't help but be proud to be an American today. F with the US and we will blow your ass up.....what a great message.
