Fort Lewis colonel: "Really feeling good" about killing 22 Iraqis

MOSUL - Two Fort Lewis soldiers were killed in Mosul, Iraq, when insurgents attacked a Stryker Brigade patrol. A U-S commander said the shots came from a mosque.

Stryker troops responded to the ambush yesterday, killing an undetermined number of gunmen. That from Colonel Robert Brown, commander of the Fort Lewis-based 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division.

... The attack followed Friday's running battle in which Stryker troops killed at least 22 fighters who ambushed them along a main highway and from another mosque in western Mosul.

Brown says "We were really feeling good about that. Then today we lose two guys. It's tough."

1. and he doesn't see the irony in what he said
the people on the other side are probably mourning their dead as well. War never solves anything.

2. War never solves anything
We are hoping that it solves our stock market and economic woes... not to mention giving us control of energy reserves.
