Looks like Operation Swarmer is a Big Bust |
On Scene: How Operation Swarmer Fizzled
Not a shot was fired, or a leader nabbed, in a major offensive that
failed to live up to its advance billing
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1174448,00.html
By BRIAN BENNETT/AL JALLAM
Four Black Hawk helicopters landed in a wheat field and dropped off a
television crew, three photographers, three print reporters and three
Iraqi government officials right into the middle of Operation Swarmer.
Iraqi soldiers in newly painted humvees, green and red Iraqi flags
stenciled on the tailgates, had just finished searching the farm
populated by a half-dozen skinny cows and a woman kneading freshly
risen dough and slapping it to the walls of a mud oven.
The press, flown in from Baghdad to this agricultural gridiron
northeast of Samarra, huddled around the Iraqi officials and U.S. Army
commanders who explained that the "largest air assault since 2003" in
Iraq using over 50 helicopters to put 1500 Iraqi and U.S. troops on
the ground had netted 48 suspected insurgents, 17 of which had already
been cleared and released. The area, explained the officials, has long
been suspected of being used as a base for insurgents operating in and
around Samarra, the city north of Baghdad where the bombing of a
sacred shrine recently sparked a wave of sectarian violence.
But contrary to what many many television networks erroneously
reported, the operation was by no means the largest use of airpower
since the start of the war. ("Air Assault" is a military term that
refers specifically to transporting troops into an area.) In fact,
there were no airstrikes and no leading insurgents were nabbed in an
operation that some skeptical military analysts described as little
more than a photo op. What’s more, there were no shots fired at all
and the units had met no resistance, said the U.S. and Iraqi
commanders.
The operation, which doubled the population of the flat farmland in
one single airlift, was initiated by intelligence from Iraq security
forces, says Lt Col Skip Johnson commander of the 187 Battallion, 3rd
Combat Brigade of the 101st Airborne. "They have the lead," he said to
reporters at the second stop of the tour. But by Friday afternoon, the
major targets seemed to have slipped through their fingers. Iraqi Army
General Abdul Jabar says that Samarra-based insurgent leader Hamad el
Taki of Mohammad’s Army was thought to be in the area, and Iraqi
intelligence officers were still working to compare known voice
recordings and photographs with the prisoners in custody.
With the Interior Ministry's Samarra commando battalion, the soldiers
had found some 300 individual pieces of weaponry like mortars, rockets
and plastic explosives in six different locations inside the sparsely
populated farming community of over 50 square miles and about 1,500
residents. The raids also uncovered high-powered cordless telephones
used as detonators in homemade bombs, medical supplies and insurgent
training manuals.
Before loading up into the helicopters for a return trip to Baghdad,
Iraqi and American soldiers and some reporters helped themselves to
the woman’s freshly baked bread, tearing bits off and chewing it as
they wandered among the cows. For most of them, it was the only thing
worthwhile they’d found all day.

Operation Swarmer was timed to coincide with Bush's latest round of
happy talk - so, there was probably no objective, except politics in the US.
You can clearly see it was setup as a press-ops, because, when, ever, in
Iraq, have you seen the US military dump choppers full of reporters into
a really hot zone? Never!

I wouldn't doubt that a bit considering the timing.
He claims not to have known about it going down.
We'll have to see how Fox News covers the "event".

They certainly didn't include the Dems' suddenly becoming anti-Arab when
it came to port operations in the US. As VDH says: "...Democrats, who
have lectured us ad nauseam about ethnic stereotyping, couldn't resist
the political opening. So they jettisoned this old sensitivity to score
jingoist points by suggesting an Arab fifth column theoretically could
gain control of our ports."

Thanks for this. And I'm sure you'll be reporting on the execution of
Saddam, the proceedings in the Iraqi parliament, and the continued move
toward democracy.
Why don't you attend some race sensitivity counseling? It appears you
could benefit from it.
BTW -- did you know that Repugs have been found to be more racist?
I heard they excluded Democratic Senators from West Virginia in the data
though.
They certainly didn't include the Dems' suddenly becoming anti-Arab when
it came to port operations in the US. As VDH says: "...Democrats, who have
lectured us ad nauseam about ethnic stereotyping, couldn't resist the
political opening. So they jettisoned this old sensitivity to score
jingoist points by suggesting an Arab fifth column theoretically could
gain control of our ports."
http://www.washingtontimes.com/commentary/20060317-092211-8302r.htm.
When did you suddenly care about the welfare of Arabs? Have you tried to
forget your posts? I haven't.
Sir -- Have you no sense of decency left?

What's wrong with this picture? We have Muslims blowing up an ancient
mosque in Samarra, and not one call for jihad against those who did it;
but draw a cartoon of Muhammed, and they're coming after you for your
head and burning down embassies.
For a photo of the mosque before the bombing, see

He has also posted that the extremist, blind gay-hating, fundamentalist
Baptist bigots "protesting" homosexuality at the funeral of a gay soldier
killed in Iraq were "LEFTISTS"...
NOW is there any doubt who the 30% are, and what they are made of?
Fucking loony toons is what.

once again, you are trying to paint everything with too broad of a brush...
also known as spin.
a dubious state-run company from dubai does *not* equal all muslims.
just like not supporting bush does *not* equal not supporting the troops.
i hate wal-mart. the fact that they are an american company does *not*
mean that i hate america.
take your spin elsewhere.

Yeah, I have this huge, HUGE hornet's nest in my back yard. I wonder if I
can "democratize" them, too. Better put on my netting and grab the Black

Well I haven't been following the trial of old SotDam but I've been
reporting on the Iraqi Parliament
One of my posts has this here subject header:
To Sen McCain and Republicrats : Your stupid NeoCon fantasy at
work-------- Iraq Parliament in Civil War
Still pretty much the case last I heard.
And it looks like Iran pretty much came out tops in the last election
