Anbar province ..Murder city, Iraq.

The Anbar province in Iraq , long the hotbed of insurgent activity and daily fighting between our Marines who are holding their own needs a plan of action, an all out operation or something to put an end to these murdering thugs running and hiding among the people.

Yahoo News reports, “More than two-thirds of the 245 U.S. casualties between Aug. 7, the start of the Baghdad offensive, and Nov. 7 occurred outside Baghdad — which military leaders have called the "center of gravity" of Iraq, and the key to success in the war. Four in 10 deaths over those three months have been in Anbar province, a Sunni insurgency stronghold where U.S. Marines have largely taken the lead.”

Yahoo News reported that, “Marines, who comprise only about 15 percent of the 141,000 U.S. forces currently in Iraq accounted for nearly 28 percent of the fatalities over the three-month period.

These statistics are far too high and provides insight into just what is going on with the Marines stationed there, facing the elephant ever day they awaken. This is 2006, in Iraq, not the Normandy landing on Omaha beach in 1944; we are supposed to be in control, I seem to recall. We have super weapons just about able to knock on someone’s door asking if the owner is home and our Marines are sitting there providing target practice for a pack of murdering fanatics whose only goal is to kill an American.

As far, back as, August 3rd, 2005, DEBKA-Net-Weekly was reporting the area fast becoming an insurgent stronghold with continuous engagements with the Marines, now it is an area in which both the U.S. and the insurgents are saying they are in control.

There were some reports, although none totally confirmed, that the sniper videos that CNN, the new voice of insurgency in America, may have originated from Anbar. If this is true, then it is high time we wipe out this den of murderers and rid Iraq of a large portion of their problem.

The Marines stationed in this mini warzone are more than willing and itching to go so they can put an end to the sniper activity, bombings and constant fighting. Reports have stated they are sick of the constant nonsense and know they can end it, all the need is a leader with a set willing to go against the status quo.

Something needs to be done and it needs to be put into place now, not next week when the murders are selling new snuff-videos of our brothers and sisters to CNN. I refuse to even provide the link to this news agency. My patriotism runs too far and my military experience too deep to send them one single reader. They can take a walk to the nearest peer and take long swim. Perhaps they may end up in Anbar and see what it is like to fight for your life. There would be a new concept, CNN reporters actually doing something other than buying crap from murderers and killers.

And why have all those deaths occured OUTSIDE Baghdad?? Cause they pulled most of the Troops out of that area and left a understaffed force there !! Thats why..

Where did all those Troops go ?? They were sent to Baghdad to try and stop the pissin contests of Al Sadr's militia !! At least till Maliki told em to get out cause they were harrassin his CITIZENS !!

What the hell I'm wonderin is, is why aint they fired that damn General thats supposed to be in charge of that place ??

His "winnin hearts and minds" plan has caused numerous needless deaths in Iraq and an American Election to the Dhimmicrats and set back security in Iraq 3 years !! OR MORE..

Folks, its time to put that gotdam carrot away and stop playin nice to those nitwits, and bring out a VERY BIG STICK and kick some MAJOR ass!!

Bud, we know from experience that hearts and minds works so well. Look at the wonderful outcome of all the past attempts. BULL!!!!!!

Damn, where is Patton when his country needs him. Where is anyone in charge who has a set? We will pull our asses out as always, leaving all behind for them to kick over and all of our men and women will have lost their lives for bull crap, sound familiar by brother?

Lest we foget the bin Laden hunt that finds empty caves. That bastard is easy to find, just follow the media to his house. He said we have no guts for war, Paper Tigers.

Someone MUST do something, this is beyond dumb procedures, we are the most powerful military in the world and all that is happening is we are embarrassed, attacked and we fight back by builind them a school. BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
