MOSUL, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military said Tuesday that American and Iraqi troops have started operations to secure parts of Mosul from insurgents.

U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces began moving in to secure police stations in the western part of the city, said Capt. Angela Bowman, with Task Force Olympia. Mosul is the third largest city in Iraq.

``We are in the process of securing all of police stations and returning the police to these stations to implace a strong police presence,'' she said. ``Some of those stations are in neighborhoods on the western side of the city where there has been insurgent activity and presence. We are now moving through the neighborhood.''

The city's five bridges were closed off with the start of operations, she said.

Residents reported U.S. warplanes and helicopters hovering over the city, as loud explosions and gunfire were heard near the American base on the northern edge of Mosul.

Witnesses said three police stations already under the control of insurgents were blown up this morning before the militants left.

The Zuhour police station, and a substation in northeastern Mosul were destroyed, along with Qahira police station in the northern part of the city. No casualties were seen as the stations were controlled by the gunmen.

A mass insurgent uprising began in Mosul last week in apparent support of militants in the rebel bastion of Fallujah, just days after the start of the U.S. offensive there

Masked and armed bands of men stormed more than a half dozen police stations, bridges and political offices in the city, killings dozens.

Yeah, go get 'em boys. And just as you did in Fallujah, don't worry about women and children. All Iraqis are terrorists -- except maybe Allawi. He's just a former Ba'athist thug, CIA asset, and current U.S. puppet.

Spread freedom and democracy even if you have to kill every man, woman, and child in Iraq.

Yeah, and a few weeks or a couple of months later we'll be doing the same thing back in Mosul or in Ramadi or Basra or Falluja or Samarra.

It's amazing how the chickenhawks fail to realize the miserable way this war is being directed by the politicians in Washington.
 
If it takes a number of US soldiers to die for the Administration or the public to realize that Iraq is a total clusterfvcked mess, then so be it.
