US Military in Iraq Reports Success Against Terrorists
By Alex Villareal
Washington - 28 Sep 2007

A U.S. military commander in Iraq says coalition forces have crippled the core leadership group of al-Qaida in Iraq in a series of raids over the past few months. VOA's Alex Villarreal reports from Washington.

Chief of staff of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, Brigadier General Joseph Anderson, said a U.S. airstrike earlier this week killed senior foreign terrorist Abu Usama al-Tunisi, who he called one of the most important leaders within al-Qaida in Iraq.

Speaking to reporters in Washington via videoconference from Baghdad, the general said the elimination of Tunisi demonstrates the force's success in isolating and destroying al-Qaida cells.

"This is a dangerous terrorist who is no longer a part of al-Qaida in Iraq. His death deals a significant blow to their operation," he said. ............

4. How Naive, Whoever the US military has killed has probably already been
replaced. Most of the people in the middle east hate our guts they probably hate us like they hate Israel. They're not going to stop fighting as long as we occupy their land. We keep hearing that the Iraq military is not quite ready to stand on their own but the truth is they don't want to fight for a Foreign occupier and who would. The insurgents fight pretty good and they don't have the billions of dollars being spent on their training and equipment. This is a losing cause and the propaganda isn't going to change the situation.
