Iraq
British troops shell Basra militia
2008-02-02
Violence flared
Um, no. Violence did not flare when the Brits fired BACK. Duh.
in the southern Iraqi city of Basra yesterday, as UK forces fired six high-explosive shells at militia fighters who hit the British airport base with 20 Katyusha rockets, wounding three soldiers. An Iraqi military intelligence officer said ten Iraqis were killed or wounded, but he could not provide a breakdown.

#3  Here's hoping they putting the Basra militia in the Inersha Nut Cracker

I'd much rather see them put it in the intensive care unit at a fourth-rate IRANIAN hospital.

#1  About bloody time they got permission from London to do so. It would be so nice for them if this were the start of new rules of engagement, but I'm not sanguine that Prime Minister Brown has the moral courage.
