Emdignant

Brit Channel 4’s Tim Lambon, embedded with 1st Cav, is indignant that American soldiers are tipping furniture while going through apartments an area where insurgents have been active. He can’t figure out why the blasted Yanks are doing it!  He also can’t figure out why a resident could possibly not like the people who use his neighborhood as a kill zone, and would point the brash and clumsy Septic Tanks to a weapons cache, carefully hidden in a nearby house.

You don’t think that hidden weapons thing has anything to do with the furniture tipping, do you?   

Tim says using conventionals to fight insurgents is like cracking nuts with a sledgehammer.  But Tim needs to embed with the Shiite death squads or al-Qaeda if he wants to see someone do that!

   I just have to wonder how happy the 1st Cav is to have Lambon embedded with them.

   What an idiot. So one of the residents “was angry for some reason” with the insurgents. Idiot.
