Iraq whacked again...
2002-09-09
Allied aircraft struck Iraq for the third time in a week, bombing a military facility southeast of Baghdad Monday morning. The attack came after Iraqi forces fired on one of the U.S.-British patrols in the no-fly zone, and it followed bombings on Thursday and Saturday. It brought to 37 the number of strikes reported this year by the United States and the United Kingdom coalition put together to patrol zones in the north and south of Iraq following the 1991 Gulf War.
That's and average of, umm.... (... eleven, carry the seven, divide by 41...) about one a week...
"There is a price to pay when you attack U.S. and British planes," said Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"Don't step on that military installation! We just waxed it!"
In Baghdad, the official Iraqi News Agency quoted an unidentified military spokesman as saying, "American and British evil warplanes violated our skies on Monday coming from Kuwait to bomb civil and service installations."
Yeah. Tell 'em about the dead puppies and kittens! And the baby ducks!
