A stake through the heart
No, this isn't about the Prophet Barack's attempts to put Hillary's campaign in the grave. (Besides, everyone knows it's a bullet to head with zombies, not stakes.)
Rather, that's the title of Michael Yon's latest report from Iraq, this time on what may be the decisive campaign against al Qaeda in Iraq, as it makes a last stand in Mosul and Nineveh province. Be sure to read the whole thing: it's a fascinating and also horrifying account of al Qaeda's barbarity, and the article focuses on an operation one night to interdict terrorists, probably coming from Syria. It also highlights the bravery of Iraqi soldiers.
This is the kind of event that should make the news, save that the mainstream media concentrates on far more important things, such as Britney Spears' mental state. Anyway, here's my favorite part:
The pilots started pushing the motors as hard as they would go for the nearly eighty five miles to Mosul. The slower Kiowas could not keep up, so they stayed back and destroyed the truck and its contents with a Hellfire missile, some 2.75 rockets and .50-caliber machine-gun rounds, then headed back to FOB Sykes. Nobody realized that a high value target had been hidden in the back of the Bongo truck, and the Kiowa pilots shot him to pieces. His parts were found later.
Enjoy your 72 white raisins, jackass.
