IRAQ FRONT: Enemy operations can be expected to increase in scope and ferocity as the defeatist imposed September deadline for surrender approaches. Yesterday's events in Iraq are evidence of terrorist plans to come.
1. A U.S. CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter crashed in western Iraq, killing all five servicemen aboard. The crew was conducting a "routine post-maintenance" flight near Al-Taqaddum Air Base in Anbar province.
2. Coalition forces conducted operations in western Baghdad targeting VBED networks. The raids netted two foreign terrorists. (AFP)
3. Working on a tip from local residents, Iraqi and U.S. forces in Mosul freed six men from an Al Qaeda prison. Soldiers from the Iraqi 2nd Army Division and the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment detained a terrorist guarding the men, who had been held bound and blindfolded for two weeks in an attempt to ransom them for $100,000 each.

4. Apache attack helicopter crews from the 227th Aviation Regiment discovered a suspicious collection of drums north of Baghdad August 12. The area had been identified as a VBED assembly area, and the drums were destroyed. A later recon of the area showed terrorists had removed the remnants. (AFP)
5. A coordinated VBED attack in northern Iraq left an estimated 200 civilians dead and 30 homes destroyed. The U.S. military said five VBEDs were used, apparently targeting the Yazidi pre-Islamic religious sect. Terrorists have been kidnapping and killing the Yazidi in increasing numbers. The coordinated and simultaneous nature of the attacks point directly to Al Qaeda. (AFP)
AFGHAN FRONT: Yesterday's events reflect the growing desperation of Al Qaeda and their inability to mount a strategically significant attack.
1. Poland has suffered their first military KIA in Afghanistan. The death was the result of a grenade blast. Polish forces are part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and are heavily involved in providing security in Paktika and Ghazni provinces. (AFP)
2. Three senior German police officers involved in security for the German ambassador were killed when their vehicle was struck by an IED. (AFP)
3. In Logar province, south of Kabul, nine suspected Taliban were killed by Afghan police. (REUTERS)
4. Afghan and coalition forces have launched a major operation against terrorists once again using the Tora Bora mountains as refuge. (AFP)
HUSSEIN OBAMA GOES TOO FAR: The emptiest of suits ever to run for President of the United States cannot help himself. His true feelings and naive views of the world keep leaking out. This time he's gone way too far, and is once again demonstrating his total inexperience and lack of qualifications for office. "We've got to ge the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're just not air raiding villages and killing civilians," Obama said yesterday. Really. Not only is Hussein Obama inexperienced, he's also proving his true feelings about our military. No one with that sort of contempt for our men and women in uniform should be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Obama and his defeatist buddies can try to wriggle out of their propaganda support for Al Qaeda, but it won't work.
