U.S., Iraqi Forces Launch Massive Air Assault

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Military officials say U.S. and Iraqi forces have started the
biggest air assault against militants since the invasion in 2003.
The attack
is being called "Operation Swarmer," according to CNN. The network reported that
it is an attempt not just to go after the insurgents, but to go after those who
are sparking sectarian violence and to try to demonstrate that Iraqi security
forces are really in the field and working together with U.S. forces.
A
statement said more than 1,500 Iraqi and coalition troops are participating in
an attack on suspected militants near Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.
They're using over 200 tactical vehicles and more than 50 aircraft.
The
military said the operation is expected to last over several days against rebal
targets in the area.

I'm so tired of this fucking country. Can I move now?
