Operation Phantom Phoenix air strikes take out al-Qaeda training area (Arab Jabour )
By Sgt. Jason Stadel, 2nd BCT, 3rd Inf. Div. PAO
Air strikes dropped 10,000 pounds of munitions Jan. 16 on bunkers in Arab Jabour used by al-Qaeda as training sites for new recruits.
Intelligence led the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga. to the location of the AQI bunkers. Air Force B-1 Bombers dropped 19 GBU-31s on the site.
“This operation maintains the momentum of Operation Thunderbolt by denying enemy sanctuaries and enemy caches, ultimately downgrading their capabilities,” said Maj. James Wilburn, daytime chief of operations, 2nd BCT, 3rd Inf. Div.
South of Zambraniyah, Soldiers from the 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regt., 4th BCT, 3rd Inf. Div. found two booby-trapped houses while on a foot patrol.
Air support was called by 6-8 Cav. to destroy the houses. Navy F-18 jets dropped a 500-pound bomb on each of the houses.
Operation Marne Thunderbolt, a part of the country-wide Operation Phantom Phoenix, continues to relentlessly pursue al-Qaeda and other extremists elements operating south of Baghdad.

Another outstanding job by the troops in Iraq. What we need now is an Operation Thunderbolt and Operation Phantom Phoenix on the home front taking out Dem training sites for new recruits. All it takes is spreading intelligence on the Dems at places like The PC Free Zone Gazette along with some early financial support of Conservative candidates followed up with a large primary and general election turnout.
Bombs Away! Defeatocrats.
