A Major Iraqi Operation.

Is going on near the border with Syria. The Belmont Club reports the Marine force that went in over there is using all sorts of weapons. Fixed wing, helicopter gunships, and artillery. This is being met with return fire. The enemy is present and is fighting back.

While it is not on the scale of Fallujah it sounds to be another of the same sort of operation. This is going to pinch off the jihadi hose supply (ala water hose). The nozzle was in Fallujah and the faucet is Al Qaim. The marines are working to kink the hose off near Al Qaim and then the towns in between Al Qaim and Fallujah will fall in turn.

Go get 'em!
