Incoming For Those 72 Virgins As 300 Insurgents Killed in Battle

At Least 250 Militants Killed During Battle in Iraq
Fox News
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S.-backed Iraqi troops on Sunday attacked insurgents allegedly plotting to kill pilgrims at a major Shiite Muslim religious festival, and Iraqi officials estimated some 250 militants died in the daylong battle near Najaf.
Authorities said Iraqi soldiers supported by U.S. aircraft fought all day with a large group of insurgents in the Zaraq area, about 12 miles northeast of the Shiite holy city of Najaf.
Col. Ali Nomas, spokesman for Iraqi security forces in Najaf, said more than 250 corpses had been found. Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Othman al-Ghanemi also spoke of 250 dead but said an exact number would not be released until Monday. He said 10 gunmen had been captured, including one Sudanese.
The U.S. command announced the arrest of 21 suspected terrorists, including an Al Qaeda courier, in a series of raids in Baghdad and Sunni areas north and west of the capital. Three are believed to have close ties to the leadership of Al Qaeda in Iraq, the military said.

And there is also this story I found really interesting. Cracking down on those helping the insurgents……….
Police chief sacks 1,500 officers
TimesOnline

The mayor of Baqouba and 1,500 policemen in Diyala province have been fired in a bid to end the raging violence in the region northeast of Baghdad, the provincial police chief has said. Ghanim al-Qureyshi, who took over police operations in the violent province after his predecessor was sacked last month, said Mayor Khalid Al-Senjeri, a Sunni Muslim, was dismissed over suspicions he was collaborating with Sunni insurgent fighters. Only last week, the mayor was reported kidnapped by Sunni insurgents who blew up his office in Baqouba and stole several new police vehicles. He was released a few days later. Baqouba is the Diyala province capital.

UPDATE:
It is now 2:35 a.m. on Monday and this is the latest post from Yahoo News, the number of kills is now up to 300!

The U.S. military said on Monday it was an ongoing operation so it could not provide any details.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
That mortar fire came from those guys who Al Sadr told us had put all their weapons away. Let’s see, how long was his word good for…. three days, maybe? I am not surprised, these people cannot tell the truth. The Quran teaches them to lie.
Putting a bacon wrapped bullet through their brains is just too good a death for them but it is a start.
Prayers for all the troops and great shooting. I love it, it’s take down time. The Democrats must be really depressed right now. Too bad….NOT…. I don’t feel sorry for them. Bela Pelosi and the Out-House leaders: Rangle, Dangle, Dingle & Bungle and their enforcer, Henry Whacksman were getting ready to go through the de-funding motions.
Instead, they got the first nail in their two-year coffin! LOL
Open their eyes, give ’em bloody hell, brave troops, and God Bless You!!
