They Better Not Pause For Any BULLSHIT "NEGOTIATING"

...this time.

U.S., Iraq Launch Major Air Assault

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The American military said Thursday that U.S. and Iraqi forces had launched the largest air assault since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, attacking insurgents north of Baghdad.


Take them ALL out. There shouldn't be a cessation of hostilities until all the hostiles are deceased.
UPDATE: MSNBC has more.
A military statement said the operation involving more than 50 aircraft and 1,500 Iraqi and U.S. troops as well as 200 tactical vehicles targeted suspected insurgents operating in Salahuddin, a province that includes Samarra, a town located 60 miles north of Baghdad.

“Initial reports from the objective area indicate that a number of enemy weapons caches have been captured, containing artillery shells, explosives, IED-making materials, and military uniforms,” the military said in a statement. IEDs are improvised explosive devices.


UPDATE: I didn't see Helen Thomas do her thing like Mike did, but I DID see David Gregory ask if this operation had anything to do with Bush's slumping poll numbers.

No prisoners, no exceptions.
Would solve the Gitmo issue, too. They can't be mis-treated if they are dead.

I swooped back to my quarters for lunch and it's absolutely horrendous the stupid questions being asked by the press. Helen Thomas is either stupid or evil, probably both.

She's just a mean, old woman who is stupid and out to lunch. What did the old bag ask?

Time to clean house....finally.

Helen Thomas is a narcissitic old b***h longing for the glory days of her youth where she could indulge in free sex, cheap pot, and mass protests against the Vietnam War.

JeffS, if you ever mention "Helen Thomas" and "free sex" in the same sentence around lunchtime again you are so gonna get it.

Well how would you feel if she charged for it?

If she didn't take advantage of the Clinton White House, that's her problem.

No, no - the Clinton WH was cheap sex, mass pot, and free protests. Easy mistake to make.

Okay, here's a link to the exchange with Helen Thomas. I can't view the video at work, but I saw it live so it should be the same.

Thomas was not alone in being stupid. There's another reporter that I see frequently whose name I don't know who badgered him with questions that displayed both an agenda and incredible lack of knowlege.
