BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. and Iraqi forces killed 104 insurgents in hundreds of raids since terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was slain last week, and the American death toll in the war in Iraq hit 2,500, the U.S. military said Thursday.

Even as the Iraqi government released a document found in al-Zarqawi’s hideout that appeared to show the insurgency was weakening, new violence erupted. Gunmen shot and killed 10 Shiites in Baqouba, northeast of Baghdad.

American and Iraqi forces have carried out 452 raids since the June 7 airstrike on al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed in those actions, said U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell.

He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143 were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also resulted in the captures of 759 “anti-Iraqi elements.”

Anyone who runs is an insurgent. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined insurgent :puke:

indefinitely, without charges, subject to sanctioned humiliation at the hands of their U.S. captors

that should make Saddam smile

Even the young children and babies. It's amazing how skillful our military has become at ferreting out those pesky insurgents.

100,000 and counting...

This ain't rocket science. It's after the fact self-rationalization.

leaking out very soon.

"If people say there's got to be no violence in order for this to be a successful experience then it's not going to happen," the president said in response to a question about when troops might be pulled out.
