Former Special Forces soldier Michael Yon has a great report on a HUGE Islamic Terrorist weapons stash that was taken by US and Iraqi forces. Check out this snippet:

The sun finally began to rise and the soldiers started to tally the catch: 26 shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles, 28 complete mortar firing systems and nearly 1,500 “mortar bombs."

The soldiers carted away 26 rocket-propelled grenade launchers and several hundred rounds. Sixteen anti-tank mines modified with anti-personnel shrapnel were hidden in couches. Each of those mines could destroy a humvee. The soldiers call these modified mines "Birthday Cakes." There were dozens of assault weapons and machine guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, night vision gear, one bayonet, chemical masks, and more. There was an ID card for an American soldier. And a sword that looked homemade.

Awesome.

Personally, I really enjoy a lot of this guy's posts. Having the background that he does, the unit that he "embeds" with actually lets him take a closer look, even in "Hot Zones". He also has some great pieces on the local Iraqi goings-on, non-military realated, that you will never get outta a MSM reporter that never leaves The Green Zone, and who reports on rumors as if they personally witnessed the events.
