Army officers have been pleased with Michael Gordon’s portrayal of the events in Baqubah.
On 19 June American forces sealed off Baqubah and began attacking targets within the city. The immediate goal of Arrowhead Ripper was to free Baqubah of al Qaeda, by trapping and killing its members, but according to American officers here, public remarks by senior military officials may have flushed many AQI leaders before the attack. Despite this frustrating and significant setback, progress toward the end-state goal of Arrowhead Ripper—turning over Baqubah to Iraqi government control—appears to be working, at least in terms of the removal of the current AQI leadership and its quasi-government. There are conflicting signals about how many of the AQI leadership escaped before Arrowhead Ripper launched. This weekend’s capture of a possible high-value target in Baqubah indicates that not all AQI leaders successfully fled the city before the attack.

I have been saying this for years, but we are screwing ourselves in Asia, again.
Check out Col. North’s comments in this. Then tell the libs to bugger off when they draw parallels between Viet Nam and now - it’s wholly manufactured, by them. And if they keep it up, it will come to pass.

The libs are friends and allies to our enemies. Especially Kennedy as he tried so hard to defeat Reagan’s push to defeat the USSR without firing a shot.
