Insurgents deploying rocket-launcher-equipped donkey carts attacked symbolically important and well-fortified buildings in Baghdad Friday, just hours after a top U.S. commander proclaimed progress in the military's newly aggressive high-tech counter-insurgency operation. The donkey-cart offensive hit the Sheraton and Palestine hotels here, which house reporters and U.S. contractors, including employees of Kellogg Brown and Root Inc., a subsidiary of the Halliburton Co Troops returned fire, apparently injuring a donkey at the Sheraton and shaking up others. The donkeys were "shaken not stirred," Kimmitt said. "They are alive but one is quite frankly pretty shook up. . . . All indications are that the donkeys will recover." Asked about the status of donkeys, Col. William Darley, another Army spokesman, said that while they are not "enemy combatants, " they are "deemed to have been co-opted to perform the will of the terrorists elements." dandennis.com washingtonpost.com
