Job postings from Al Qaeda in Iraq
Cpt. Ed has been watching the Centcom newswire and catching some good news.
CENTCOM announced minutes ago that one of the men expected to take the place of the now-room temperature Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has also reached thermal equilibrium near Baghdad. The spokesman for the military briefed reporters on the death of Sheikh Mansur, displaying before and after mug shots of the dead terrorist and explained his significance to the insurgent network in Iraq. So far, none of the wire services have picked up the story; I will fill in the details as they become available.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained a senior al-Qaida in Iraq network member and three suspected terrorists during coordinated raids southwest of Baqouba June 19.
The terrorist is reportedly a senior al-Qaida cell leader throughout central Iraq , north of Baghdad . He's known to be involved in facilitating foreign terrorists throughout central Iraq , and is suspected of having ties to previous attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed 15 terrorists and detained three other suspects during simultaneous raids north of Baqouba June 20.
Coalition forces came under immediate small arms fire from a rooftop upon arrival to the objective area. The ground force returned fire, killing nine armed terrorists on the rooftop, and an additional two armed terrorists who were identified firing on Coalition forces from next to the building, were killed by Coalition aircraft supporting fire.
We can mourn the loss of the two 101st troops whose bodies they recovered today, but we can also celebrate the fact that none of these jihadi scumbags will do much more than enjoy their 72 goats.

Russia backs Iran, which shuttles these people back and forth from Pakistan to Iraq and arms them and very anti-Russian nutters like Gulbudhin Hekmatyar. Meanwhile, those nasty little killers repay the favor thus:
