| Terrorist Death Watch Update |
| 2006-11-27 |
| Paging Chuck Simmins, please pick up the white courtesy phone... Thanksgiving was especially fruitful for those terroists insisting on death. The four day holiday resulted in the deaths of at least 26 terrorists in Iraq and at least 55 terroris in Afghanistan. In addition, the New York Times reported a 40 hour battle during the period Nov 13-16 in eastern Iraq that killed 40 to 70 terrorists at the loss of two American soldiers. A Central Command briefier mentioned it in passing but there is no other reproting on the fight. Link Those figures have not yet been added to the Death Watch count, which currently stands at 1,212 terrorists killed in 2006. |

| #3 American soldiers fought such units in a pitched battle last week in the village of Turki, 25 miles south of this Iraqi Army base in volatile Diyala Province, near the Iranian border. At least 72 insurgents and two American officers were killed in more than 40 hours of fighting. American commanders said they called in 12 hours of airstrikes while soldiers shot their way through a reed-strewn network of canals in extremely close combat. So will this come to be referred to as The Great Holiday Turki Shoot? |

| #1 Hokay, this was me and it read me in all the nice boxes before I posted it. I seem to lose my identitiy in Opinion posts, but no where else???? CentCom just e-mailed me that they have no further info on the battle of Turki, so I'm going to post the smaller total to the Death Watch. Additional 40 terrs killed for November. |
