Is this a significant development or something, or just something that happens every day like every other thread you start?

Let me know when CNN, MSNBC and FOX start covering this stuff.

They won't, because it's insignificant.

"This just in, Marines kill 1 insurgent in Anbar province"

Newsworthy? Not really, just routine day-to-day stuff.

They don't cover every coaltion death either, it's routine.

They sure find it significant whenever VBIEDs go off.

If there's a loss of American life, it is significant then, yes.

"This just in, nobody robbed the 7-11 on 5th and Broadway last night"

I clicked it becuase I thought it must be something important, being "threadworthy", and bold even!. I'll go back to reading about "what kind of beer you drink" or something equally interesting and relevant. Or should I say, irrelevant?

Your views on the GWOT, politics and the significance of human life are effectively irrelevant to me.

And if you feel compulsed to click on every bold title you see, well that just =

Some people just can't seem to abide seeing the signs of progress our military is making in Iraq.

Thanks for posting these.

Aww...

The liberal is upset, some of his Muj buddies lost their tricked-out ride.

How sad.

Thats funny I was going to post a "thank you" for taking the time to post the war update and then

.

Thanks for taking the time

NME, thanks for the update.

For the liberal fuckwit, how routine do you think finding a VBIED is? Let me clue you in; for the average company, it's not a day to day occurrence. Have you ever found one? If no, kindly save your dumb ass comments for the DU.

OMFG..

When I saw "Tomahawk" i thought wow, someone used a 1million dollar cruise missile to 'discover' and destroy a 500$ carbomb.

Made me laugh

That's what I thought, too. I was hoping for video.

It's far more significant that half of the crap the main stream media reports on.

Maybe you would be more interested in the development of the Britnay Spears' custody battle, or Nichole Richie's DUI charges.

Get a clue or get lost, don't come in here and crap on a thread of significance.

Thank you for posting this. Keep it up. The attitude that this is "everyday" is the same thing as saying we lost. You say this is not significant? How about the fact that this "everyday" event just saved lots of lives and proves that what our troops are doing over there is worth a damn. I have a little bit of time involved in Iraq and I want to keep informed about what is really going on over there. If you dont....do something thats more on your level...like looking at the what beer your drinking thread or maybe another chili with or with out beans thread.

Same here. Was really hoping for some cruise missile footage.

Cool! I really have to wonder how many lives were saved. This is one more car bomb that won't get air time on CNN, PMSNBC, or any other lib news media. Sounds to me like quite a few lucky souls get to continue drawing breath because some American soldiers had their shit wired tight.

Hooah!
