4/12 well finally the us is finally releasing the death tool from recent
activity. These bastards just didn't want to tell the public just how
bad things got last thursday and friday, honestly I would not be
surprised if the count just keep going higher
the past 2 days have been somewhat calm, but there is a lot of talk
about all hell braking loss. you just can't stop someone with a gun
defending his home against unwanted invaders without massive deaths,
I mean we are seriously on the offensive in a foreign land going up
against defnde people- this is not a good situation. But alas there
might be light at the end of the tunnel, Sadr is just trying to get
power, that is how everything here is run- he knows he has to
negotiate in order to get out of this alive with his power still
intact, so would not be surprised to here of some "settlement"

motd that's pretty cool, but could you PLEASE provide context for
these posts? Are you in the army? marines? a contractor? tourist?
where are you?

\_ This is the equivelent of political spam. Instead of posting
this whole guys blog here, why not just provide a link and let
us read it ourselves?
\_ Kinney is a contractor. This is from one of his emails. He does
not have a web site. Don't delete this. -dans
\_ 4/11 [ I said, no spam, bitch. Just post a link ]
\_ He's not spamming the motd. This is a first-hand report and he
has unreliable net access. |

| www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iraq/taji_m.htm Taji, located 30 km North of Baghdad, was the primary location for Iraqs indigenous long-range missile program. Activities included air frame design, construction and modification, and liquid fuel rocket engine development and production. UNSCOM teams destroyed prohibited missiles, support systems, development and construction equipment, and specialized tools and dies. Iraq was planning to build a 1,000-machine production centrifuge cascade at Taji. Based on performance achieved by the Iraqis with their prototype centrifuge, IAEA estimated the potential output of a 1,000 centrifuge cascade at about ten kilograms of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium annually. The facility was abandoned, and used as a storage area for some items under on-going verification. According to Iraq, all CW agent production plants were located at the Muthanna State Establishment MSE. The special mechanical workshop for the production of two types of special munitions 250 and 500 gauge aerial bombs was also located at MSE. Other types of indigenously produced special munitions were manufactured by general purpose establishments, Nasser State Establishment R-400 aerial bombs, State Establishment for Mechanical Industries DB-2 aerial bombs and Project 144/2 at Taji special missile warheads and warheads for 122-mm rockets. Project 1728 project 144/3, Mutawakeel project Production of Al Hussein class missiles engines. |
