U.S. Aircraft Hammer Fallujah After Dark

Post by theski »

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - Multiple explosions shook Fallujah after dark Tuesday, and large plumes of smoke billowed into the sky as fighting erupted for the second straight night. An American AC-130 gunship hammered targets in the city.

Blasts and gunfire went on steadily for more than half an hour in sustained fighting, apparently in the northern Jolan district

The fighting erupted as a two-day extension to a cease-fire ended. Earlier in the day, U.S. aircraft dropped leaflets in the city of 200,000 people, calling on insurgents to surrender.

U.S. troops fought militiamen overnight near Najaf, killing 64 gunmen and destroying an anti-aircraft gun. An American soldier was killed Tuesday in Baghdad, raising the U.S. death toll for April to 115 - the same number lost during the entire invasion of Iraq last year.

The battle outside Najaf was one of the heaviest with the militia as U.S. troops try to increase the pressure on gunmen loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. U.S. troops moved into a base in Najaf that Spanish troops are abandoning, but promised to stay away from the sensitive Shiite shrines at the heart of the southern city

Please do use your retarded little mind to explain how the 284,000 people in the city can leave and where the fuck they are suppose to go. Why hasn't this worthless moron been banned yet?

Because he pops up for quick bouts of idiocy and then disappears before people get too seriously pissed off. Check his post history; its quite revealing.

I think that all its gonna take is a few PMs to get him gone. He has pissed a lot of high ranking members off, including you and Shep.
Speaking of Shep, hi, I haven't talked to you in a while, nice to see you back to your old self.

And, on topic, is it known what the Spectres were targeting, or was it more of slighly disciminate fire to support a position, or some cal like that?

Perhaps this should be split? If its not then the mocking will just make sure it never gets back to topic.

I'm a little confused on just what they intend to do. Are they going house to house and if they find a good working weapon they will arrest you for being a Ba'athist? Are we going in there and just killing anyone who fires at us?

I just watched a report on the attack on CNN. They said AC-130 Speter gunships were used in the attack.

Actually, According to TODAY, on NBC, a general said it was ONE C-130 attacking two trucks. They were both destroyed, and there were secondary explosions. Meh. Nothing to special, unless you count the fact that a modified CARGO PLANE kicks ass. Which I do. :twisted:

According to the briefing this moring, they squished the two vehicles and some 'other' positions which resulted in secondary explosions from 'supposed' weapons and ammo cache.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

So, who thinks Bush is gonna get shat on for this (not that he doesn't deserve it)? Plus I would like to know how it happened before I pass any more judgement.

From what's being reported now, it's specific targets. Supposedly ammon supplies of some sort.

you guys are great.

Post by AdmiralTDM »

you guys/girls are all just great.

Obviously the terrorist are not gonna surrender and obviously they are not gonna leave the city... and the civilians * most of which support the terrorist* well they are the only ones that have the option of leaving... even though some of you think they cant all leave at once due to lack of I guess refugee shit and I admit that is for the most part true... but! if I was in there and I wanted my chances to live to greatly improve I would get the hell out.

Now maybe you are all to liberal and uptight to understand that im being just a lil sarcastic... maybe you are all just looking for a fight but I am not trolling... I am not trying to piss you all off, but you can go to hell if you dont like my warped/politically incorrect and a bit on the sarcastic side opinion... I AM intitled to my own opinion THOUGH you can ban me if you want, I will just move on. No big deal to me.

Also as for my post being declared hit and run or whatever... I don't have the time to stay on this board a great percent of my life. I come in when i have time, read fanfics or whatever, look around on this board find a topic i like and post my opinion and come back later agian to check on it.

Anyways I will be checking this agian later so fire away and I will reply because I know someone is gonna disagree with this.

That we are.

The insurgents aren't acting like terrorists, dipshit. They are engaging the US military in combat.
and obviously they are not gonna leave the city...
Why should they? It's their country.
and the civilians * most of which support the terrorist* well they are the only ones that have the option of leaving... even though some of you think they cant all leave at once due to lack of I guess refugee shit and I admit that is for the most part true... but! if I was in there and I wanted my chances to live to greatly improve I would get the hell out.
And go where? Where will you move your wife and children to?
Now maybe you are all to liberal and uptight to understand that im being just a lil sarcastic
Actually, your sarcasm comes across pretty thick. The problem for you is, only an incosiderate asshole would be so sarcastic when discussing war.
... maybe you are all just looking for a fight but I am not trolling
You're either seeking attention, or too much of an inverted asshole to realise people don't take too kindly to an overdose of sarcasm about stupid shit like carpet bombing cities and what not.
... I am not trying to piss you all off, but you can go to hell if you dont like my warped/politically incorrect and a bit on the sarcastic side opinion
Lead the way, troll.

Finally, you're right. Took you long enough.
