Air strike kills 'Iraq militants'
26 April 2006

US forces in Iraq have killed 12 suspected militants and a woman in a raid and air strike on a house outside Baghdad, military officials said.

The military says troops came under fire when approaching the house, which it described as a militant hideout.

All the dead men were said to have been wearing vests loaded with ammunition. There was no word on US casualties.

1. amazing how smart our bombs are
they only kill insurgents, militants, and #3 Al Qaeda operatives, and miss civilians. Who knew that insurgents, militants and #3 Al Qaeda operatives were posing as two year old children?

3. "If they run... they're insurgents....
... if they stand, they're just well-disciplined insurgents."

4. Tell me about it.
This is rediculous. How many reports of "killing militants" do we have to hear before we start to wondert if this isn't just "phrase of the day" with these people. This is what happens when you work for people who lie and push propaganda all the time - who knows when they are telling the truth?
