Tip aids Iraqi Police in seizing VCIED

BAGHDAD, Iraq — After receiving a tip from an anonymous Iraqi citizen, Iraqi Police and Task Force Baghdad Soldiers seized a vehicle-carried improvised explosive device in southern Baghdad Jan.1

The Joint Coordination Center received the tip at approximately 7:40 p.m. warning of a suspicious vehicle. Iraqi Police and Task Force Baghdad Soldiers responded and the VCIED was rendered safe by explosive ordnance teams.

One terror suspect killed, three captured

TIKRIT, Iraq – U.S. Soldiers responding to an indirect fire attack against a coalition base near Balad killed one suspected terrorist and captured another Dec. 2.

A coalition aircraft operating near Logistics Support Area Anaconda saw two people running away from the site where the fire originated and helped guide a nearby patrol to the area.

The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division Soldiers quickly captured one suspect, but the other fled on foot. The man led the Soldiers on a two-hour long chase that finally ended when the Soldiers cornered him in a grove of palm trees.

The suspect fired at the Soldiers with an AK-47 assault rifle and was killed by the Soldiers’ return fire.

In another incident near Hawijah, two bombing suspects were detained after a coalition aircraft observed them digging alongside a road on the morning of Dec.2nd.

The pilot notified a nearby patrol from the 101st Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, who stopped the suspects’ vehicle. One of the men tested positive for explosives residue and a bomb sniffing dog signaled that the truck had been used to carry explosives.

Iraqi and MNDCS Soldiers size cache

Diwaniyah Province, Iraq -- MNDCS and Iraqi Soldiers seized illegal weapon caches in Diwaniyah and Wasit provinces. During operations six suspicious men were detained and the following weapons and munitions were found: 75 assorted mines, 40 artillery and mortar rounds, seven RPG launchers with 69 rounds, 50 hand grenades, sniper rifles, machine guns and explosive material.

Iraqi Security Forces: Increasingly in the lead

Story by Staff Sgt. David Green
MNF-Iraq.com

Baghdad - Iraqi Security Forces now number more than 223,000 trained and equipped soldiers and police. These troops are spread throughout the country and are taking an ever increasing roll in securing their country against terrorist and insurgents in areas across the country.

“As Iraqi security forces continue to grow in capability and size -- now numbering more than 223,000 -- they are conducting more and more successful independent operations throughout Iraq, including Baghdad,” Brig. Gen. Donald Alston, spokesman for Multi-National Force – Iraq, told reporters last week.

Brig. Gen. Alston added that these were wide ranging forces, some capable of conducting independent operations.

“There are now 120 Iraqi army and special operations battalions conducting combat operations against the enemy, 40 of which are assessed as being in the lead in defending Iraq, protecting progress and the process of democracy,” he said.

ISF are seeing success everywhere they are deployed. In Ramadi last week, Iraqi Army soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 7th Division working alongside of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 28th Infantry Division detained five targeted insurgents, including Jassim Mohammed Fayadh, a high value insurgent leader, allegedly responsible for financing terrorism in the Tammim neighborhood and known to have supplied arms and munitions to Al Qaeda in Iraq according to MNF-I sources.

Speaking after the capture, the battalion commander of 1-1-7 IA, Lt. Col. Mustafa, highlighted the importance of the capture. “Yesterday was a big step to bringing safety and security to this area for our local citizens and their families. We will continue to work with our coalition partners to bring security to western Ramadi,” said Mustafa.

Ramadi, however, isn’t the only place that ISF units are making their presence felt. In the week from Dec. 17-29 ISF and Coalition Forces from Task Force Freedom detained 109 suspected terrorists and seized four weapons caches.

“In cities throughout the country it’s the same,” said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a spokesman for the Multi-National Force in Baghdad. “Iraqi Security Forces are taking more and more responsibility for the safety and security of a democratic Iraq.”

Of obvious concern is control of the Iraq’s capital city.

Speaking to reporters recently, Maj. Gen. William G. Webster Jr., commander of Multi- National Division Baghdad, pointed out that a year ago there was one Iraqi army battalion in the city.

"And now there are 22 (Iraqi battalions) in Baghdad," Maj. Gen. Webster said, "with 12 of them in charge of their own areas of operations." The Iraqi 6th Division in Baghdad is comprised of six brigades, he said.

Ultimately the story of Iraqi Security Forces is one of increased growth and responsibility. That growth is reflected in the numbers.

“The ability of the Iraqi security forces to provide security at the borders, to counter the insurgency and to fight terrorist forces has greatly improved over the past year. At the start of 2005, Iraqi security forces numbered only a little bit more than 127,000 strong.

“In just 12 months, we have seen the Iraqi security forces increase 77 percent to a total now that numbers more than 223,000. The world watched in 2005 as the number of Iraqi units able to take the lead in combat operations against the insurgency increased. A year ago, there were none,” said Alston.

Last bit on Iraq for today, seems that the looney left islamoterrorist huggers of the left are wrong again, seems that moral is actually high in the US forces and shock horror soldiers are actually signing up for more tours....so much for the doomsayers of the guardian/BBC etc

Some More Bits From Iraq & MOD waste


** Was going to put some more bits on tonight, but as Netscape being a bastard it shall all have to wait. Changing over to Firefox at the mo as it seems a tad more stable.
Air support preempts possible IED emplacement

TIKRIT, Iraq – Coalition forces reconnaissance aircraft observed three men suspected of emplacing an improvised explosive device digging in a road near Bayji after 9:00 p.m. on Jan.2, prompting a military response against them.

An unmanned aerial vehicle from 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division observed the would-be attackers as they dug a hole following the common pattern of road-side bomb emplacement. The individuals were assessed as posing a threat to Iraqi civilians and coalition forces, and the location of the three men was relayed to close air support pilots.

The individuals left the road site and were followed from the air to a nearby building. Coalition forces employed precision guided munitions on the structure.

Local Iraqi police were the first authorities at the scene to conduct post-event response.

Six terrorists detained in cordon and search

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Task Force Baghdad Soldiers detained six known terrorists during a cordon and search in southern Baghdad Jan. 2.

The search also yielded materials commonly used to make improvised explosive devices. Soldiers seized PVC pipes, rubber used in pressure plate IEDs, wires and ball bearings.

A total of 15 people were detained during the operation.

** Had a cool link sent to me by the Rottweiller Puppy - Check this out http://www.gshotts.com/HUMOR/Flash/diplomacy.swf

** Found this on the MOD spending £272,000 on a couple of paintings for its new HQ. Now that would not be so bad were it not for the poor state of funding in other parts of the armed services and the fact that troops have to buy a lot of their own kit themselves.

Of course the best part is that although our tax money has been used for these paintings. The public is unlikely to see the works due to "difficulties with security access".

Last month the Commons Public Accounts Committee revealed that the MoD's 20 biggest projects are £5.9 billion over budget and more than 17 years behind schedule. Full story here.... total waste of public money.

**To say that gets me pissed is an understatement. Some chinless inbred fuck who is the result of to much sheep worrying over many generations, and who followed in daddys footsteps into a nice safe job in the upper ranks of the civil service or military actually thinks that they can piss away public money like that and no one will care. Well I care, I care about the fact that our troops are not having that money spend on new kit, or even old second kit come to that.

Then they try to justify it by calling it, get this "defence diplomacy". What the fuck does that mean, its not diplomacy in any way shape or form. And they waste this after wasting 350 million on a nice new HQ for all the other chinless fucks to sit about in, looking at "defence diplomacy" hanging on the walls. Maybe if they saw some military type paintings on the walls it might remind the upper ranks what they are supposed to be doing in their shiney new building.

Get this for an arguement from a spokeman: Most of our first-rate paintings are on permanent display in places like the National Maritime Museum and we didn't want to use second-rate paintings of dead admirals from the 19th century. I would argue that this is a good investment of public money."

Ok, so all the good "defense diplomacy" is on show and the 2nd rate stuff - ie the traditional military pictures of dead admirals just wont cut it for the new look HQ. After all the last thing that military types want to look at is traditional art or would that be "defence diplomacy?". So you spend our money on some more paintings and say its a good investment? How exactly as:

  • a/ the public can not see them
  • b/ who is to say that it will gain in value?

Finally a bit on the artists - and I use the word very loosly - you can make your own mind up on these: Zil Hoque - a sample of her work, looks like she spilt some paint there. and Louise Cattrell shows us how to fingerpaint some more wasted money here.

Guess the chinless fucks in the Ministry of Defence Art Collection who made this descison know as much about art as they do about running a budget.

** Finally the looney in Iran is off again, claiming that Zionism is fascism. Iranian looney tune making it up as he go's along.

And lastly getting back to my old fave the biased and Uber Left Wing BBC. Now to say that this broadcaster pisses me off would be an understatement, especially as we have to pay for it through the £126 pound a year licence fee.

So its nice to see them getting some awards, although dont expect them to be broadcasting this any time soon:

Some Good News From Iraq - As Not Reported On The BBC


** For more on the bias at the BBC check out: biased-bbc twists the truth and we have to pay for it

Baghdad
-- Iraqi and Coalition Forces started off the New Year optimistic about the future and focused on the work ahead. Speaking to reporters on New Year’s Eve, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke about the past year while outlining plans for the future.

"I think 2005 was really very, very successful," he said, citing advances in training the Iraqi military and the successful elections on Dec. 15.

"Stability in the country is part of the conditions for withdrawal," Pace said, "The faster that the Iraqi government is able to stand up and take charge, the faster we'll reach the conditions where they're able to lead their own armed forces and their own military in a way that will allow us to transition more of the overall security responsibility to them."

Iraqi Security Forces are increasingly in the lead on operations throughout the country. In many cases, the Iraqi Security Forces are operating independently of Coalition Forces. Brig. Gen. Donald Alston, spokesman for Multi-National Force – Iraq, highlighted the Iraqi contribution to the ongoing fight in a press conference Sunday.

“As Iraqi Security Forces continue to grow in capability and size, now numbering more than 223,000, they are conducting more and more successful independent operations throughout Iraq, including Baghdad,” Alston said.

Operation National Unity is currently being conducted by Iraqis Security Forces and resulted in an 11 percent decrease in attacks across Baghdad in the last week, according to Alston. In other operations, such as Operation Carentan, the ISF works along side Coalition Forces to disrupt terrorist activities.

Carentan, targeted in Diyala and Salah Ad Din provinces in northern Iraq, had resulted in over 700 insurgents being detained and more than 120 weapons caches located and cleared as of Nov. 1. But Alston pointed out that the success of these operations went beyond the obvious.

“The proven success and growing commitment of the Iraqi Security Forces has led to strong public support in the region and a corresponding drop in support for Al Qaeda in Iraq,” he said. Citing that 50 percent of all IEDs found and cleared in the Kirkuk area came from local citizen’s tips, Alston added, “The people of this great nation are exposing the insurgency and have made it clear that Iraq is no longer a place where the insurgency can continue to exist.”

Responding to reports of car bombs throughout the country on the first day of the New Year, Alston acknowledged that officials expected attacks to increase after the security measures put in place for the Dec. 15 elections were lifted.

"We're seeing that increase right now," said Alston. "This is perceived, inappropriately I would say, or inaccurately perhaps, by the enemy as a time of vulnerability as the government transitions ... to a permanent government."

However, Alston continued to remain optimistic.

“The insurgents will continue to try to intimidate the people of Iraq. In turn, Coalition and Iraqi Forces will continue focused operations to eliminate the terrorists, and enable an environment in which freedom and democracy can prosper,” He said.

Over the past year the Iraqi Security Forces grew by 77 percent while the country passed a number of milestones on the road to democracy. Elections in January and December gave the Iraqi people a voice in their government resulting in the successful drafting and ratification of a constitution and selection of a permanent Government set to take over as soon as all the votes are verified.

As the New Year begins Alston put all the events of the past year into perspective.

“Collectively, these changes mark the progression of the Iraqi government towards a truly democratic system which will be capable of providing positive change for the people of Iraq and a beacon for the Middle East,” he said.

Operation Green Trident turns up 72 caches

CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, AR RAMADI, Iraq – U.S. Marines discovered more than ten metric tons of munitions hidden at 72 cache sites 39 km south of Fallujah during the week-long Operation Green Trident.

First Reconnaissance Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 8 began the operation last week near the village of Al Latifiyah to search suspected locations for hidden weapon caches. More than 1,000 artillery and mortar rounds were unearthed along with scores of rocket propelled grenades and hand grenades. Most of the caches were shallowly buried along the banks of the Euphrates River and surrounding area.

The weight of the explosives contained within these munitions is approximately one metric ton (2,200 lbs). The artillery and mortar rounds are commonly used by insurgents to make improvised explosive devices.

Task Force Baghdad raids seize weapons caches

BAGHDAD — Task Force Baghdad Solders kicked off the New Year by seizing and destroying two weapons caches, further denying terrorists the opportunity to put the citizens of Baghdad in harms way.

Soldiers seized the first, larger cache at 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 1. The operation resulted in Solders capturing a 3.5-inch rocket, eight rocket-propelled grenades, a launcher and 60 mm mortar rounds.

Soldiers discovered the second weapons cache at approximately 8:30 a.m. Jan. 2 and seized a rocket-propelled grenade, an AK-47 assault weapon and seven loaded magazines.

Tips lead to IEDs, bombing suspects

TIKRIT, Iraq — Tips from local residents led to the discovery and disarming of four IEDs and the capture of five suspected terrorists Jan.1.

The first report was received by the 101st Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team early Sunday morning. A tip led a 1st BCT patrol to an area near Kirkuk where they discovered two IEDs.

One group of Soldiers secured the area to wait for an explosive ordnance disposal team while the tipster led the rest of the patrol to a nearby location where they detained five suspects believed to be involved with emplacing the IEDs.

A tip to the Joint Coordination Center in Mosul resulted in the discovery of two more IEDs near a busy intersection in the city by Soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

One of the IEDs detonated while the unit was securing the area, slightly wounding one Soldier. The second IED was safely disarmed and two 120 mm mortar rounds were removed by an EOD team.

Tips from concerned citizens have helped Iraqi and U.S. Forces discover numerous bombs and weapons caches throughout the area.

** And if you thought that clearing up after seeing in the new year was a pain, then spare a thought for the people of France who had to clear up 425 burned out cars, due to the unrest of "youths" - who just happen to be of muslim decent. come home to a real fire, park your car in France Also reported at http://www.jihadwatch.org/

** Finally it seems that cowardice is not just something that occurs in the Church of England or looney left councils in the UK that ban toy pigs from their offices, but has now spread to Australian councils as well. http://www.clarityandresolve.com/

David Hicks


** With regard to my last post on David Hicks the Taliban scumfuck that may be getting his UK citizenship after crying to the bottom feeding human rights lawyers about the nasty Americans , I have decided to do another post on this fine upstanding jihadist.

Despite being an Australian, and Australia quite rightly washing their hands of this islamofascist he has managed to convince judges over here that he is entitled to live in the UK due to his mother being a UK citizen.
  • Never mind the fact that he thinks of us as an enemy state.
  • Never mind the fact that he has no skills to offer the UK (unless you count terrorism, and we have enough of our own homegrown terrorists thanks)
  • Never mind the fact he wants hardline islamic law enforced.
  • And lastly he has a fanatical hatred of jews, just what the UK needs another radical out to wipe Israel off the map.
  • What company would employ him, unless knowledge of jihad and radical hatred was part of the job role? Besides I am sure that most employers have rules on rocket launchers being used during work hours.

** here we see Mr Hicks posing with a weapon, no doubt he was only going to use that to kill a few pigeons or somesuch. All pure innocent jihadist fun.
As I found this pic quite easily, I wondered why the BBC chose not to use that one, but instead used this one (below)... Bet if he was a raging neonazi the BBC would have chosen to use the top pic in their report, but in their typical pro islamofasist way the BBC love to distort the facts on the dealers of death. More on the islamofascist here....David Hicks radical deathdealing scumfuck soon to be living in the UK
