Islamic State of Iraq Suffers Crushing Defeat

Here you go John

Via CNN: BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Eighty militants were killed and 50 were captured in fighting between Iraqi security forces and militants in Anbar province, the violent area west of Baghdad, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Thursday.
Iraqi police and soldiers, along with tribal leaders, battled al Qaeda in Iraq fighters in the Amriyat al-Falluja village, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
A police official in the area, Ahmed al-Falluji, told Reuters news agency that 70 militants died in the fighting, and said three police officers also were killed. The statement from the Interior Ministry gave no information on casualties to Iraqi security forces or police.
The fighting started Wednesday afternoon when dozens of militants attacked the village, about 12 miles (19 kilometers) south of Falluja, where local tribes have taken an anti-al Qaeda stance.
Reuters said residents fled the village when the attack began and asked Iraqi security forces for help. Fighting lasted through Wednesday evening.
Three foreign fighters were among those captured.
American troops were not involved, a U.S. military spokesman in Falluja told Reuters.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. You're next.

Update: More good news from Jules Crittenden and more on this story from WAPO here. John Ryan says: "Rusty the American people are going to need something they consider a lot more important than the freeing of 3 hostages before they consider this war to be going well."

So, since I aim to please....

5 Congratulations to the Iraqi Security forces on their victory.
My sympathies to the families of the policemen who lost their lives.

Where are the defeatists now?

6 "Where are the defeatists now?" Well they are defeated for the moment. But they are a more relentless foe than any other we have, because they can't be killed, like our other enemies. Like zombies ... But this is still an AWESOME article.
USA, all the way!

8 One of those things that makes you go "hmmmmm":

NKARA - Turkish Daily News

Ankaraâ€™s diplomatic and political circles are currently filled with gossip over a missing Iranian, thought by some to be a spy.

Iranian citizen Ali Rızari Asqhari, 63, who recently retired from
the Iranian Defense Ministry, disappeared in Istanbul on Feb. 7, daily
HÃ¼rriyet reported on Monday. Iran has made a diplomatic move, yesterday
sending a delegation to Turkey to obtain more information on the
missing man.

According to the story in HÃ¼rriyet, on Feb. 6 two foreign citizens
made a reservation for Asqhari for three nights in the Ceylan Hotel,
paying cash. Asqhari then arrived in Istanbul on Feb. 7 and promptly
vanished. The Turkish Foreign Ministry has not commented on the case,
saying only that â€œit is very sensitive. intelligence services matter
and the Interior Ministry are dealing with the issue.â€

A high-level bureaucrat from the Istanbul police department said,
â€œWe are trying to find out whether he left or was taken. Interpol has
issued a yellow bulletin in accordance with the requests by Iranian
officials,â€ HÃ¼rriyet reported yesterday. The same individual reportedly
added, â€œThe lost Iranian man is someone who worked on sensitive jobs in
Iran. Whether he was involved in nuclear activities is being looked
into. But it is clear that since he arrived in Istanbul via Damascus he
must have had a very important appointment.â€

10 I keep telling you Howie, the guy's name is Abu Masri. And Baghdadi will never be caught so forget about him. Masri will be.

11 And yeah, being blown up every day and being kidnapped everyday means the war is going very well.

Stupid right winger.

Posted by: John Doe at March 01, 2007 05:08 PM (f+ZRz)

12 just can't stand good news can you. We saved some hostages too. I linked a sgtory a while back where we saved a guy, A sunni and his family asked if the US would put a base on their block.. You just can't stand that can you?

Posted by: Howie at March 01, 2007 05:11 PM (YHZAl)

13 Stupid left winger's forget that we invaded France before we were done in Italy and Japan and that WWII didn't look so hot either until we won. More of our men died on Omaha beach than have died in this whole war. Stupid left winger's just want to win the war they can't stand for the right to have any part of a victory.

14 Speak of the defeatist devil and "John Doe" shows up right on the mark!

Posted by: Garduneh Mehr at March 01, 2007 05:16 PM (vixLB)

15 Yeh, if they were smart they would say something like. This is just what we/they wanted, the Iraqi's to fight. Isn't it?

They could say, "It was our pressure that made it happen." We lit a fire under Bush and got er done.

If they keep painting the war badly they won't escape the blame either. They have some power now, so if things go badly....It's their fault They are too stupid to take any credit.

16 sorry Howie I was out riding my motorcycle global warming does have its upside
Well Howie what significance should we put on this ?
Is Ahmedi related at all to Jamail?
Any pictures?
Why should "good" news be any less suspect than "bad" news?
Any verification from American sources ?
The report says 70-80 al Queda killed with the loss of only 3 Iraqi police and soldiers. Well I guess that if all that IS true then our training must be AWESOME. Gee !Perhaps they really are in the last throes.

21 I'll bet Michael Moron is pissed that his "minutemen" were crushed by the "fascist" soldiers of the democratically elected representative government. A good lefturd is a dead one.

25 John Dork:

Far more people are killed in America every day than in Iraq.

I guess America is a quagmire and an utter failure. We should surrender it to the criminals and cops, and wait for the UN to save us.

Idiot.

Still making fun of peoples' last names. LOL, you really are a child. That's supposed to offend me. My neighbor's son could have thought that one up. The difference is the American soldiers' deaths could have been PREVENTED!!!!!

Posted by: John Doe at March 02, 2007 08:51 AM (f+ZRz)

27 Well the did do some press releases last night. Smaller ones mostly claiming shootdowns and some repetitive car bomb stuff. Most of it appears to older and and then the hostage images. But no large compilations like usual. Darn....They look to be under pressure but not out.

Posted by: Howie at March 02, 2007 09:27 AM (YHZAl)

28 John, there is more here. Pesky real job is getting in the way.

Posted by: Howie at March 02, 2007 11:06 AM (YHZAl)

29 John Dork:

Is that why we maintain a standing military? To prevent their deaths?

How is the war in America going? By your standards, we're losing to ouselves.

Fucking moron.

Posted by: Jeff Bargholz at March 03, 2007 01:29 AM (Dt3sl)

30 Go fuck yourself Jeff. At least I don't act like a child by making fun of people's last names.

Fucking right winger.

31 John Dork:

Yet another display of left-wing brilliance. Bravo.

Next you'll claim you aren't a dork.

How many people where killed in Amerikkka today? Who should we surrender to?
