FoxNews Is Reporting:

The assault was launched in the southern Salah Ad Din province to clear a suspected insurgent operating area southeast of Samarra.
Iraqi and American Troops Prepare For Operation Swarmer
The operation, which began Thursday morning, is expected to continue for several days ahead of the Shiite Muslim holiday. U.S. military commanders say the operation was largely carried out by Iraqi forces based on tips from other Iraqis.
Coalition forces have dubbed the assault "Operation Swarmer," which is an operation consisting of about 1,500 soldiers in all, including the Iraqi Army's 1st Brigade, 4th Division, the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team and the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade.
The assault is a combination of air and ground operations involving more than 200 tactical vehicles and more than 50 aircraft also participated in the operation.
According to the Coalition Press Information Center, initial reports indicate that a number of enemy weapons caches have been captured, containing artillery shells, explosives, IED-making materials, and military uniforms. Troops also captured several people, according to CPIC.

"I think the idea that [the cost of the war] is going to be eclipsed by these monstrous future costs ignores the nature of the country we're dealing with. It's got already, I believe, on the order of $15 billion to $20 billion a year in oil exports... There's a lot of money there, and to assume that we're going to pay for it is just wrong." -- Paul Wolfowitz, 2/27/03 (three weeks before invasion)
Total U.S. expenditures on Iraq war (three years after invasion): $320 billion -- Los Angeles Times, 3/17/06
Paul's Comb I swear I dont know about yall and these names but I guess it's better than anonymous,
It has costed us alot yes but if you have a better plan than making peace out of sand castles enlighten us all please!
I'm sure once the Oil is pumping at Pre-Saddam/Insurgent levels the Iraqi's will do what they promised and pay us back.
Star, lol we should probably save them for Syria and Iran.
