OPERATION PHANTHOM FURY begins to liberate Falluyah

#1 Postby cycloneye » Mon Nov 08, 2004 11:55 am

FALLUJA, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. and Iraqi forces have begun a push into Falluja as part of an all-out assault aimed at driving insurgents out of the city and the operation is called "Operation Phanthom Fury".

I am praying that no US casualties occur in this operation but as we know in these kind of invasions sacrifices come.

There will be a new conference at the Pentagon at 2 PM EST where Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Myers will talk about the start of Operation Phanthom Fury.

First casualties of this operation

Two Marines were killed when their bulldozer flipped over into the Euphrates near Fallujah earlier Monday. A military spokesman estimated that 42 insurgents were killed across Fallujah in bombardment and skirmishes before the main assault began.

A doctor at a clinic in Fallujah, Mohammed Amer, reported 12 people were killed. Seventeen others, including a 5-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, were wounded he said.


Sadly 2 US marines haved died in the first stages of this operation.However 42 of the bad guys haved been killed and I hope that ALL are dead.

U.S. tanks fired 120-mm rounds into booby-trapped barricades for about an hour, igniting massive explosions. (Map of Falluja)

These traps are dangerous and the US forces have to look for them carefully.
