The Battle For Tal Afar Continues...

You'll remember our report upon the fighting in Tal Afar, the coalition battle to rid the area of terrorists, and the ASSociated Press story praising the baby killing rapists retreat as a classic guerilla manuever.

Well, if it was such a textbook battle then they must have run out of books for everybody, as the battle continues with the toll so far at "over 200 terrorists killed and approximately 1500 captured or wounded."

And not one American death. So if 1700 to 0 isn't a humbling defeat what do you imagine it would take for the AP to admit that these ragtag misfits have taken a beating, and are losing ground and men every time they stick their heads from the ratholes they call home? Can't cause all that much trouble burrowed underground, can't come out without getting killed.

Classic indeed. Let's hope that they continue such classic "fighting" on a regular basis.
