I was amazed at how low key things were about what was found in Fallujah. Didn't we find anything like weapons, or IED's or anything that the people in America should see or hear about? So I started to ask around to my military buddies and guess what, magically in my inbox appears a very well done Powerpoint show of some of these things. You can view it (to large to post here) at : http://ips.sfcc.edu/ips/CEW/Fallujah.pps
But here are few of the more interesting facts I found:
Fallujah is roughly 20 square Kilometers in size.
There were 100 Mosques in Fallujah, but 3 out of every 5 (60) were being used as fighting positions or weapon storage.
They found 653 IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) in Fallujah. The average number found all across Iraq per month from July to October was 772.
They found 11 IED factories.
They found 3 identifiable slaughter houses
1 out of every 5 blocks had a weapons cache. - (203 total weapons caches were found)
3 hospitals were being used as fighting positions
For those of you that don't know the "Law of Warfare" using a Mosque or Hospital as a weapons storage or fighting position is a violation of that and causes the Mosque or Hospital to lose its protected building status. Meaning that if they fight from it or use it, we can attack it or destroy it, within the "Law of Warfare".
They were also using the Fallujah cemetery as a weapons cache, again a violation of Law of war.
In one of the IED factories they found a Garmin GPS III Plus receiver. On this they found waypoints that started in western Syria.
What did they find?
Artillery Rounds - 25+
Mortar Rounds - 857+
Rockets - 147+
Grenades - 239
Anti - Tank mines - 596+
Anti-personnel Mines - 12+
Mines (unknown type) - 268+
Anti-tank guided missiles - 86
RPG's- 280
Recoiless Rifle Rounds - 328
Surface to Air missiles - 10
And many other explosive componets
So let me see what does all this show? Well for one it shows how very active the insurgants were in Fallujah, it also shows how our troops performed with outstanding skill and were able to capture all these things. I am hoping and guessing this will put a dent in the isurgant ability to use these items.
Way to go troops. If you have not viewed the Powerpoint you should.
You will find it no where else, because of course the mainstream media will have nothing to do with showing how well we performed in Fallujah. Or the print press for that matter. I invite others of the net to send that link around and get the word out on what really is out there in Fallujah and how well we did.
