MND-B SOLDIERS CAPTURE SUSPECTED BOMB-MAKER, 13 OTHERS

CAMP TAJI, Iraq - Multi-National Division - Baghdad Soldiers captured a suspected member of an alleged bomb-making cell in Sab al Bor, Iraq June 19. Soldiers from Battery C, 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery, attached to the 1st  Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, captured the suspect using information from intelligence sources. In all, the unit detained 14 suspects for questioning during the operation. The raid was part of a large-scale, sector-wide initiative to eliminate threats to Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces, and to curb violence in the area north of the Iraqi capital.

 

3-1 CAV. SEIZES MULTIPLE CACHES NEAR JISR DIYALA

FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq - Soldiers from Company D, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, who are currently attached to 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, seized multiple caches June 17 near Tuwaitha as a part of Coalition Forces' efforts to eliminate insurgent sanctuaries southeast of Baghdad. The unit conducted Operation Destroyer Strike based on intelligence gathered from local citizens.  The operation was a part of a larger effort, Operation Marne Torch, being conducted by Multi-National Division-Center. Troops cleared two target locations to seize caches and disrupt insurgent activity. Four individuals were detained attempting to flee at the first objective.  One of the detainees is suspected of making road-side bombs for Al Qaeda, while another provided additional information on cache sites. Thomas further explained that the intelligence led to six additional searches and the detention of a suspected sniper believed to be working for the Mahdi Army.  Capt. Brian Gilbert, Co. D commander, of Boise, Idaho, was in command of all Soldiers in the operation, and has almost daily contact with local leaders and members of the city council. Gilbert spoke with local citizens and city council members following the operation. Gilbert explained that the first objective was a large farm. Its owner was killed by Al Qaeda, according to local citizens, who also claim that Al Qaeda fighters used the farm as a training area. Items found in the cache included 54 mortar rounds, two artillery rounds, 29 cell phones, 29 nine-volt battery connectors and more than 20 circuit boards - all commonly used in the manufacturing of improvised explosive devices. Four rockets, five AK-47 assault rifles, a .50-caliber machine gun, and Iraqi Security Forces' body armor were also found. The 3-1 Cav. and the 1-15 Inf. are assigned to the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, from Fort Benning, Ga.

 

MNC-I CONDUCTS OPERATION PHANTOM THUNDER

BAGHDAD – Multi-National Corps-Iraq launched major offensive operations, Operation Phantom Thunder, June 16 in a powerful crackdown to defeat extremists in Iraq.   With the surge of U.S. forces complete, simultaneous operations throughout Iraq are focused on rooting out al-Qaeda terrorists and other extremist elements in order to provide security and stability for all Iraqis.   This coordinated effort includes Operation Arrowhead Ripper aimed at eliminating terrorists operating around Baquoba and the Diyala province.  The operation has killed at least 30 al-Qaeda terrorists and netted numerous caches containing assault weapons, grenades, rocket launchers and large and small caliber ammunition and explosives. Operation Fardh al-Qanoon in Baghdad continues to hunt elements of al-Qaeda and illegal militias.  These missions are dismantling illegal support networks and capabilities that allow the enemy to move personnel and weapons into the city and stage attacks.  This effort has also proven successful in the killing or capture of key leaders and cell members who belong to extremist groups. To the southeast of Baghdad, Operation Marne Torch is focused on the clearing of extremist sanctuaries located in the Arab Jabour area.  Four insurgents have been killed and more than 60 detained.  In addition, 17 boats were destroyed, significantly disrupting insurgent operations on the Tigris River.  In Al Anbar, Coalition Forces continue to work with Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army forces by engaging insurgents and al-Qaeda elements in more rural areas.  These operations are helping to interdict the enemy along the belts between Baghdad, Fallujah, Ramadi and the cities of the Western Euphrates River Valley to support the larger Baghdad security plan.

Liberals Trying To End Conservative "Domination" Of Talk Radio

From ThinkProgress.org, Full version available here, in PDF. It's a hoot.

Our conclusion is that the gap between conservative and progressive talk radio is the result of multiple structural problems in the U.S. regulatory system, particularly the complete breakdown of the public trustee concept of broadcast, the elimination of clear public interest requirements for broadcasting, and the relaxation of ownership rules including the requirement of local participation in management. [...] This analysis suggests that any effort to encourage more responsive and balanced radio programming will first require steps to increase localism and diversify radio station ownership to better meet local and community needs. We suggest three ways to accomplish this: Restore local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations. Ensure greater local accountability over radio licensing. Require commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting.

The breakdown. No multi-station owners like Clear Channel, re-enact the Fairness Doctrine, and/or pay a fine if they don't like your programming.

There's more, Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer were overheard by Sen. James Inhofe saying they want a legislative fix for talk radio. I'm sure Trent Lott will gladly jump all over this.

This isn't about Conservative "domination" of talk radio, this is about liberal domination of the media. Talk Radio is the one media segment they don't have control over. They already have television and print media. I would guess that the internet is about 50/50. It's just that the  liberals in the blogosphere are not as smart as Conservative bloggers. Another thing that troubles liberals is the cooperation between Conservative bloggers.

Liberals tried to compete with Conservative talk radio by creating Air America. As everyone knows, it was a huge failure. The fact is liberals don't need talk radio to supplement their views, they have everything else.

A 3rd carrier, USS Enterprise Strike Group Heading Towards Persian Gulf

I hope the Iranians are wetting themselves.

According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, the US naval build-up off the shores of Iran marks rising military tensions in the region, accentuated by last week’s Hamas victory which has endowed Iran with a military foothold on Israel’s southwestern border. The USS Enterprise CVN 65-Big E Strike Group, the US Navy’s largest air carrier, will join the USS Stennis and the USS Nimitz carriers, building up the largest sea, air, marine concentration the United States has ever deployed opposite Iran. This goes towards making good on the assurances of four carriers US Vice President Dick Cheney offered the Gulf and Middle East nations during his May tour of the region. The “Big E” leads a strike group consisting of the guided-missile destroyers USS Arleigh Burke DDG 51, USS Stout DDG 55, Forrest Sherman DDG 98 and USS James E. Williams DDG 95, as well as the guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg CG 64, the SS Philadelphia SSN 690 nuclear submarine and the USNS Supply T-AOE 6> On its decks are the Carrier Air Wing CVW 1, whose pilots fought combat missions in the Gulf and Arabian Sea during 2006. The Air Wing is made up of F/Q-18 Super Hornet strike craft, the Sidewinders Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-86, the 251st Marine Fighter Attack Squadron MFA, and the Electronic Attack Squadron VAQ 137. The 32nd Sea Control Squadron VS consists of S-3B Vikings. The Airborne Early Warning Squadron VAQ 3 flies E-2C Hawkeye craft. The Fleet Logistics Support Squadron VRC is based on C-2A Greyhounds. DEBKAfile’s military sources report Washington is considering deploying the fourth US carrier for the region in the Red Sea opposite Saudi Arabian western coast to secure the three US carriers in the Gulf from the rear as well as the Gulf of Aqaba and Suez Canal.

Ex-Marine Kills Bear With Log

He's HARDCORE also.

An ex-Marine used a whole lot of bravery and a little bit of luck in a harrowing encounter with a black bear. Norcross resident Christ Everhart took his three boys on their first camping trip to the Chattahoochee National Forest last weekend. There, a 300 pound bear set her sights on their cooler. But when Chris’ son distracted the wild animal, the bear dropped the cooler and headed for the 6-year-old boy. [...] “When Logan was being chased by the bear, I threw about five rocks at the bear to keep him away,” said Kyle Everhart. The boys’ dad, an ex-Marine, knew he had to do something. So he grabbed the closes thing he could find – a log. “(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head and I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear,” said Chris.

That's not only hardcore, that's beastly. He killed the bear not by beating it with a log, but throwing it.

Awesome.

John Edwards' Daughter Picks Hillary For President

The Silky Pony's daughter hates him.

Elizabeth Edwards and her two youngest children, Emma Claire, 9, and Jack, 7, stopped in West Branch for an hour or so Saturday afternoon. She was here to campaign on behalf of her husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who is vying to win the Iowa Caucuses, a feat he nearly accomplished four years ago. [...] After a brief stop at a Little League game in Beranek Park, where Emma Claire mentioned that her softball team's name is the Hawkeyes, the family ventured on to Tipton to rejoin their favorite candidate. Oh, but that's not entirely accurate - or at least it wasn't on Saturday. When the Edwardses visited the Cedar County Democrats' tent, Mrs. Edwards asked her daughter which of the presidential candidates she liked best. Did she point to dear old Dad? No, she pointed to Hillary Clinton.

Fred!: Good News About CAIR

ABC Radio Networks

I've talked before about the Council on American-Islamic Relations -- most recently because it filed that lawsuit against Americans who reported suspicious behavior by Muslims on a U.S. Airways flight. Better known just as CAIR, the lobbying group has come under a lot of scrutiny lately for its connections to terror-supporting groups. This time, though, The Washington Times has uncovered some very good news about the group. For years, CAIR has claimed to represent millions of American Muslims. In fact, they claim to represent more Muslim in American than ... there are in America. This has alarmed Americans in general as the group often seems to be more aligned with our enemies than us -- which isn't surprising as it spun off from a group funded by Hamas. As you know, Hamas has been waging a terrorist war against Israel and calls for its total destruction. It also promises to see America destroyed. Nowadays, Hamas is busy murdering its Palestinian political rivals. Even with this history, and CAIR's conspicuous failure to condemn Hamas by name, it has been treated as if represents Muslim Americans by our own government. The good news is that the financial support CAIR claims to have among American Muslims is a myth. We know this because The Washington Times got hold of the group's IRS tax records. CAIR's dues-paying membership has shrunk 90 percent since 9/11 -- from 29,000 in 2000 to only 1,700 last year. CAIR's annual income from dues plunged from $733,000 to $59,000. Clearly, America's Muslims are not supporting this group -- and I'm happy to hear about it. Of course, every silver lining seems to have a cloud; and this cloud is that CAIR's spending is running about $3 million a year. They’ve opened 25 new chapters in major cities across the country even as their dues shrank to a pittance. The question is; who’s funding CAIR? CAIR's not saying. The New York Times earlier this year reported that the backing is from "wealthy Persian Gulf governments" including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Obviously, we have a bigger problem here than the one with CAIR.

Man Survives Bobcat Attack By Choking Animal To Death

The man is just HARDCORE. 

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — A 62-year-old Florida man depended on his instincts when a bobcat attacked him, and it paid off — he survived, the bobcat didn't. Dale Rippy, a resident of Wesley Chapel, Florida, was pulling trashcans back to his house May 30 when he saw what he thought was a large cat. After realizing the animal was actually a bobcat, he set the trashcans down and prepared for an attack. Having grown up on a farm, Rippy said he knew the bobcat would attack when it didn’t run away after seeing him. “When it growled, I knew it was going to jump and bite me,” he said. The animal then jumped on him and began to scratch and bite. Rippy said he knew if he could get a good hold on the animal, he would be able to choke it, even if that meant letting the bobcat take a couple of bites. “I started choking it when got a good hold,” he said. “I choked it ‘til he died. I got scratched up pretty good.” Rippy never had to go to the hospital, but was examined at a doctor’s office due to puncture wounds on his stomach and scratches. After the attack, his neighbor called the police, who then called animal control. After the animal was inspected, it was found to be infected with rabies. Rippy said now, he and his neighbor that helped him after the attack have to have rabies shots.

Missiles Kill 32 Taliban In Pakistan Tribal Region

Just doing a job Pakistani's won't do, killing terrorists.

A missile attack, possibly launched by U.S. forces in Afghanistan, killed at least 32 pro-Taliban militants in a Pakistani tribal region near the border on Tuesday, Pakistani officials said. The missiles targeted a suspected training base in a village near the mountainous Datta Khel district, 60 km (40 miles) west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media, told Reuters. Intelligence officials said some foreigners were among those killed, raising the possibility that al Qaeda fighters might have also been present. North Waziristan is a known refuge for remnants of Osama bin Laden's network.
