No I would not. Look at the length of these posts compared to Guesser's articles. These are a paragraph or two with event updates on the WOT. The thread was started by SB, not hijacked by SB to stifle other people from talking about the topic in the OP.
SB doesn't need my protection. I'm speaking up for what is right. SB is positive energy to this site. You're just picking a fight where there is none.
I'm not picking a fight....just saying what I believe this thread is. You gotta know you're the only person reading thru any of those lengthy articles....if even you're doing it.
Sb is not positive energy and I doubt you would feel that way if a liberal poster was doing what he does. You don't think I could find long pages of positive liberals articles and post them to myself daily?
Hezbollah will send 800 men to fight alongside Iraqi forces against Islamic State for the control of Mosul, the London based al-Arabi al-Jadeed newspaper reported Sunday.
According to sources, following the battle over Tikrit, Tehran turned to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with a joint Iraqi-Iranian request to support the fight against ISIS in Mosul with trained fighters. An unnamed source told al-Jadeed that Nasrallah agreed to send about 800 men from elite units to participate in the anticipated battle.

What do you do around here that gives value to this board? (Besides stalk a guy into the Service Play section.) I literally grit my teeth to be kind to you. SB is doing nothing wrong. You are! How do you not get this??? You pick fights for nothing.
For once in your life start a thread about any topic and have a high-level discussion in it with another poster without arguing.

[h=3]U.S. Attack Kills Key al-Shabab Operative in Somalia[/h]By Cheryl Pellerin
DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, March 18, 2015 – U.S. forces working from intelligence reports and using unmanned aircraft struck a vehicle carrying a member of al-Shabab's intelligence and security wing near Diinsoor, Somalia, a Pentagon official said today.
Adan Garar, a key operative responsible for coordinating the Somali militant group's external operations, was killed in the March 12 strike, according to the official.
Al-Shabab’s operations target U.S. citizens and other Western interests to further al-Qaida's goals and objectives, the official said.
Garar posed a major threat to the region and the international community and was connected to the West Gate Mall attack that killed dozens of people in Nairobi, Kenya, on Sept. 13, 2013, the official said.
“His death has dealt another significant blow to the al-Shabab terrorist organization in Somalia,” the official added.

Central Command Updates Iraq-Syria Target Counts
By Cheryl Pellerin
DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, March 19, 2015 – U.S. Central Command officials released an update today on the number of targets hit by the United States and the international coalition in Iraq and Syria since Operation Inherent Resolve began, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren told reporters here today.
During a daily briefing, Warren said that through yesterday, the international coalition had struck 5,314 targets since operations began Aug. 8.
The coalition has conducted 2,893 airstrikes -- 1,631 in Iraq and 1,262 in Syria. Total U.S. airstrikes numbered 2,320 -- 1,151 in Iraq and 1,169 in Syria.
Warren said 2,875 U.S. forces were in Iraq as of yesterday.
Target Types
From the Centcom report, Warren highlighted some of the target types hit in Iraq and Syria.
In the target count as of yesterday, for example, coalition forces had hit 73 tanks, 282 Humvees, 408 staging areas, 736 buildings, more than 1,000 fighting positions and -- significantly, he said -- 87 oil collection points.
As of March 12, Warren said, the total cost of operations related to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, since kinetic operations began was $1.83 billion.
The average daily cost is $8.5 million, he added.
Events in Iraq and Syria
Also related to operations in Iraq and Syria, Warren discussed an ISIL drone destroyed near Fallujah yesterday and a remotely piloted aircraft downed in Syria on March 17.
On the ISIL drone, Warren said the department had assessed it to be a commercially available remotely piloted “model airplane,” and the sort of device that anyone could buy commercially.
“The drone was not shot down,” he said. “We observed it flying for about 20 minutes, we observed it land, we observed the enemy place the drone in the trunk of a car and we struck the car, destroying the vehicle and the model airplane,” and presumably killing the pilot.
“To my knowledge, this is the first time we have observed ISIL using this type of equipment,” Warren said, describing the drone as hand-held and small.
On the remotely piloted aircraft downed in Syria, Warren confirmed that at about 1:40 p.m. EST on March 17, U.S. military controllers lost contact with an unarmed U.S. MQ-1 Predator remotely piloted aircraft operating over northwestern Syria.
“We are looking into the incident and will provide more details when available,” he said.
