Rule of Law In Iraq

ANO, WP, TH

Another item to ponder. The Leftinistra should be proud of the training our troops are giving the Iraqi People. Haven’t the Leftinistra been whining about the absence of the Rule of Law? Now that the trained troops are actually applying what they have learned AND IT IS WORKING, what is there to whine about? Morons.

It and They Are Working

MOSUL, Iraq - Iraqi Security Forces conducted security sweeps throughout Ninewa Province Tuesday and Wednesday, seizing black market fuel, illegal munitions, and bomb-making equipment and detaining suspected anti-Iraqi forces.

“The terrorist actions aim at creating disorder and destabilizing the situation in the city. God willing, we are going to uproot the terrorists from this city,” concluded Duraid Kashmoula, Ninewa’s provincial governor.
Kashmoula explained the senior leadership’s role and the need for the crackdown.

”Today we have a Mosul-wide security operation that parallels the Baghdad Law Enforcement Plan and aims at preventing any saboteur or terrorist from gaining a foothold in Mosul. We realized that we have to participate [ISF] in the operation. We have noticed that the IA soldiers and IP officers are well deployed and are cooperative with each other; each based on its area of operation,” said Kashmoula.

IA soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd Iraqi Army Divisions supported IP officers in raiding suspected improvised explosive device factories, suspected illegal munitions caches and known insurgent hideouts both inside and outside the various city limits.

“Our roles - myself and the IP commander, along with the 2IA Division commander, are making tours to all the troops to look closely into their performance and style of dealing with the people,” Kashmoula added.

A total of 179 individuals were detained during the two-day sweep, eight terrorists were killed, and the ISF seized numerous small arms, ammunition, projectiles and IED-making material.

IP also seized hundreds of liters of black market fuel that will be utilized by the ISF in their generators and to fuel vehicles, allowing for increased patrols to provide security for the province’s cities, according to IP officials.
Coalition troops from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division aided the Iraqi patrols with vehicle and logistical support, to include air support.

The Iraqi troops are trying to further eliminate the following:

Twelve Iraqi civilians were killed and 43 were injured including one policeman after a suicide truck bomber detonated a vehicle suspected of containing chlorine in western Ramadi at approximately 11 a.m. today.

The attack occurred when a white truck approached an Iraqi Police checkpoint in the Ta’meem district of Ramadi at a high rate of speed. The police standing guard attempted to signal the driver, but he did not stop, forcing the officers to engage the vehicle with small arms fire. It is unclear whether the police gunfire caused the vehicle to explode or if the driver detonated it. Coalition Forces arrived after the explosion to assist in the medical evacuation and set up security around the blast site.

The injured were evacuated to a local hospital as well as Coalition medical facility for initial treatment. Urgent casualties were further evacuated to a larger military facility for more extensive care.

Perhaps if the Leftinistra spent their “valuable time” actually supporting the efforts instead of enabling our enemies, we would win all that much sooner. Morons.
