"That Was The Money Shot:" Nightvision Video of Airstrikes On Mahdi Army

...shot by ground forces about a mile and a half away from the target.

I really don't think they needed to add insult to injury by repeatedly calling the Mahdis "mother fuckers." Come on guys, you're better than that. Clean up your acts. Stop using words that hurt and start using words that heal.

Michael Yon says the war can be won. Step One: Moqtada al-Sadr Must Die.

...getting pretty kinetic here. During my first 5 days we lost 6 KIA Americans and 1 terp, so that was 7, plus quite a few others who were really messed up. Serious business, but ISF making serious progress in Mosul. This place is dicey, though. I need to downgrade my initial assessment. The ISF is much better, but this "deal is not sealed" as it were. At this point I would say we are probably actually losing the war, but I really think this can be turned around. Petraeus is just the man who can do it. He's brilliant and is ready to slam those militias. We need to kill Sadr.

You're preaching to the choir, bub.
