Terrorists Who Suck

More immoral stupid sucky terrorist. This time they used women and children as shields. Now the bad guys are pushing up daisies.

Title: SEVEN SUSPECTED AL QAEDA FACILITATORS KILLED IN KUNAR PROVINCE

Release Date: 8/24/2006

Release Number: 06-08-02P

Description: KABUL, Afghanistan – Seven suspected al Qaeda facilitators were killed early today when Afghan and Coalition forces conducted an operation on a compound housing suspected terrorists today near the village of Asmar in Kunar Province.

Afghan and Coalition forces came under direct fire when approaching the compound and defended themselves with return fire. Afghan and Coalition forces continued to take fire from hostile forces in the surrounding area after the initial objective was secured.

All of the men killed were engaging Afghan and Coalition forces with hostile fire.

A child, approximately 10 to12 years old, was killed and a woman was wounded during the fighting. An investigation is currently being conducted to determine the identities of these individuals. Additionally, four other males in the compound were taken into custody.

The additional enemy fighters fled from the site when engaged by the Afghan and Coalition unit.

The woman who was wounded during the fighting was immediately evacuated to a nearby Coalition medical facility for treatment.

“The al Qaeda fighters deliberately put women and children at risk in an effort to protect their illegal and immoral operations,” said Col. Thomas Collins, Coalition spokesman.

Multiple weapons, ammunition and grenades were confiscated in the operation.

The purpose of this operation was to capture a known al Qaeda facilitator. Credible intelligence linked the targeted individual to suspected terrorist activities and attacks against Afghan and Coalition forces in Kunar Province.

No Afghan or Coalition forces were injured during this operation.

Remember Them All

I don't believe that I have an obligation to share equal time with the left on my blog. In this case I will make an exception. Blackfive links to a good post on the DailyKos pile. While I'm sure that Kos intended to dishonor the president by blaming him for these stories, he ended up honoring some very fine women who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

We need to remember that not all of the people who are killed serving this country are men. NeoCon Eagles Wings salutes all of our heroes and heroines.

Hook 'Em Horns!

The University of Texas has won six national championships over the last several years in football, baseball, track and field, and swimming and diving. The school is also listed as one of the best values nationally when comparing curriculum and costs. It's obvious that the school believes that if you are going to do something, you should strive to be number one.

Today they added a new honor.

Hook 'em!

By contrast, here is a school that does it right.
