Operation Iraqi Freedom! What a good site, M~ Thanks! Some interesting info on it, and this picture is interesting as well... cjtf7.com What is strange about Spain is I thought they were "peacekeepers", and not on specific military missions.......If they pull out, does that mean the Spanish new leaders didn't want peace for Iraq?

Speaking of the devil: Pakistanis might be near al-Qaida No. 2 Thursday, March 18, 2004 · Last updated 10:30 a.m. PT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Information Department, HO) ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistani troops believe they have surrounded al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri in an operation near the Afghan border, three senior Pakistani officials told The Associated Press on Thursday. The officials, who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity, said intelligence indicated the Egyptian-born al-Zawahri has been cornered in an operation that began Tuesday in South Waziristan involving hundreds of troops and paramilitary rangers. In an interview with CNN, Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said he had spoken with the commander of Pakistani troops in the region. He said the commander reported "fierce resistance" from a group of fighters entrenched in fort-like buildings and that there were indications that a senior figure was surrounded. "He's reasonably sure there's a high-value target there," Musharraf said. seattlepi.nwsource.com
