British forces are continuing their aggressive incursions into Basra, capturing some senior Iraqi Army Officers and killing a Republican Guard colonel in the process.
My guess is that the object of this is keeping the Iraqi forces off-balance and probably trying to demonstrate to the population of Basra that Ba’athist control is decaying daily… hence the day before yesterday’s foray into the city by British Challenger Tanks for the decidedly non-military objective of blowing up a statue of Saddam Hussain in a public square with the tank’s 120mm gun!
Good, if the Feyadeen & co. can fight dirty gorilla tactics, so can the Brits. Nicely done.
No Byron… the Fedayeen are the ones using guerilla tactics, it is the UK and US who are using Gorilla tactics
