#1 I like the sound of ''credible reporting'' - nice way of saying the Coalition was tipped off. Excellent work. 12 Zarqi deaders is great - couple this with tough border surveillance and you stop the insurgency, which is what this was all about. On this map, you can see the Al Qaim in on the Euphrates River just inside the Iraq - Syria border. So much for any PR or MSM crap about Syria ''clamping down'' on jihadis crossing their border into Iraq. This is the main route to the Sunni Triangle and, further on, Baghdad. The smuggler route we hear so much about and which made the Fallujah / Ramadi smuggling center infamous.

#2 Credible reporting led Multi-National Forces to a suspected insurgent location in Al Qaim May 2...

It looks like a MQ-1 Predator tip.

#4 one female child, approximately six-years-old, sustained a minor injury to her right calf and to her head.

No doubt the Democrats will attach a rider to the next appropriations bill funding day care facilities for insurgents' offspring.

#5 How lovely: only Type I blood, no Type M-N blood. I much prefer it that way. ;-) Especially when the Type I's bring along little children to hide behind.
