As long that hit the scum it's OK by me.

"More than 50 aircraft"

Gotta love it. Do you have a link to downloadable audio or videoclips or streams of the action by any chance ? :ping:

What is it with you and BBC links every day 4 or 5 appear.

I think Steed is trying to get his count up. Over a thousand since January. :)

Got to keep things fresh. OK less BBC news from now on.

Nah, keep posting them :up: :up: :up:

hehe, anybody would think no-one ever reads the BBCwebsite for themselves lmao ;)

Seems like BBC is better then CNN.

Or at the least, i see reports on BBC that i don't, or won't see on CNN.

Over 50 aircraft? Sweet....

That's the way to conduct operations! :up:

But about a dozen of them were UH-60s and CH-47s. Not exactly overwhelming firepower like 50 B-52s... :roll:

I say just find where they are and level the place beyond all recondition. :x

Go STEED! i love it man, no need for me to watch the news anymore, just log into subsim and see what news Steed has put up.

:up:

Aaah, but sometimes you need a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer :up:

Thanks Kiwi I fell off my chair laughing had a crap morning, you made my lunch break :rotfl: :rotfl: :up: :up:


Back to the point how successful was the op.

I havent heard any news from the 'front', today. Some sources say that, they have already found several hidden weapons caches along the way.

Smoke ´em out! :rock:

An update:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4817762.stm
It appears that this whole operation is really little more than a routine COIN operation. I think the name "Operation Swarmer" and all the hallabaloo about "50 aircraft" were just an attempt on the part of the Bush Administration to make it look like they are taking some agressive new action to speed the war along-nothing new. :nope:
