US, Iraq Runs Joint Insurgent Fight

For those of you keeping score, operations like this are important in keeping insurgents on the run and hiding. If you give them time to rest, they can't resupply themselves as quickly and they tend to make mistakes, making their capture much easier.

"The Iraqi Ministry of Defense said two terrorist suspects were killed in the Haifa Street area and a "huge weapons and ammunitions cache" was found at the Karkh High School.

"Operations are still ongoing in that area to chase down the remnants of the terror and criminal elements," according to the Ministry.

In Adhamiya, the Iraqi army said two insurgents were arrested and weapons and munitions confiscated. The army also reported finding three car bombs being readied for attacks.

How many people do you think are going to live a much longer life since these weapons and car bombs were found and confiscated? Anti-war folks like to point to us not making any progress in this war, but you can't tell me that this isn't progress. People will grow up, get married, have children, and grow old because of the actions the Iraqi and US soldiers did today.
