I just did a news search on 'Combined US/Iraqi sweep on Samarra to find insurgents' You know what ? We did it already, in 2004.

I wonder if they will be a little more successfull this time.

It's a PR stunt. 1,500 troops - 1/2 US? Attacking a group of villages in the desert - I feel so much safer.

Let me explain to some of the mis-informed what the strategy and aims are for this new offensive by the yanks.

Basically recently alot the Sunni insurgents have had enough of al-Qaeda in Mesopatania and have started killing them. This offensive is to try and kill or capture the al-Qaeda and finish it off.

The yanks will probably fuck it up, but then thats what theyre good at.

Whats bullshit?

Well it's kind of hard to explain to you, if you don't know what bullshit is at your age.

However, it's nasty bad people telling you lies and half truths.
