Firefight in Umm Qadr
« on: March 23, 2003, 12:42:36 PM »
Or whatever that town is lol. Last night about 1AM CST showed M1A1 opening up on some buildings and bunker at port town. First part is seeing .50 cal rounds hitting into what looked like a sand bunker, and then BOOM!  120mm HE round hits the bunker and it is no more. Huge cloud of dust and sand go flying into the air.

Second part is them opening fire into a meduim size structure, which looked ababdoned except for several Iraqui forces that were holed up in there. Building was repeadetly town up with .50 cal guns while another 120mm round takes out what looked like a little tower balcony type object on the building. Left quite a nice hole in it too :)

Then fell asleep till 5am, so dont know what else happened

Iraqi's held a press conference, using that live footage as proof that their army was kicking the coalition's butt.   He went on forever about how the soldier's in umm qasr were pushing the american's back.

In the middle of his general's speech, coalition planes came in and bombed the place.  What was left of the Iraqi force "pushing the US into the swamp" promptly surrendered.
