Taking Names And Kicking Ass In Mosul
Damn! I loved reading this story about our troops in Iraq. It seems they are applying a good old fashioned “whoop-ass” to insurgents in Mosul. What better way to fight the ignorant raghead ######## than to let loose a few former Brooklyn gang members on their pointy little towel-wrapped heads ....
MOSUL, Iraq—From inside a vacant building, Sgt. 1st Class Domingo Ruiz watched through a rifle scope as three cars stopped on the other side of the road. A man carrying a machine gun got out and began to transfer weapons into the trunk of one of the cars.
“Take him down,” Ruiz told a sniper.
The sniper fired his powerful M-14 rifle and the man’s head exploded, several American soldiers recalled. As he fell, more soldiers opened fire, killing at least one other insurgent. After the ambush, the Americans scooped up a piece of skull and took it back to their base as evidence of the successful mission.
The March 12 attack—swift and brutally violent—bore the hallmarks of operations that have made Ruiz, 39, a former Brooklyn gang member, renowned among U.S. troops in Mosul and, in many ways, a symbol of the optimism that has pervaded the military since Iraq’s Jan. 30 elections.
Insurgent attacks in this northern Iraqi city, which numbered more than 100 a week in mid-November, have declined by almost half, according to the military. Indirect attacks—generally involving mortars or rockets—on U.S. bases fell from more than 200 a month in December to fewer than 10 in March. Although figures vary from region to region, attacks also have declined precipitously in other parts of Iraq, creating a growing belief among U.S. commanders that the insurgency is losing potency.
Aawwwwwww (wiping an itty-bitty tear from my eye). I’m so proud of our troops. I’m glad somebody in a brass hat decided to turn loose the home-boys on the ragheads. Now the insurgents are starting to get the point .... mess wid us and we’ll pop a cap in your ass, Ahmed! Word up!
Note: The liberal, pussified Washington Post referred to out troops no less than four times in the article as “ruthless”. Yeah? You got a problem wid dat?
