Part of Tall Afar now Short Afar

In one of the few pockets of fighting, insurgents fired seven rocket-propelled grenades at U.S. tanks from adjacent buildings in the western neighborhood of Qadisiyah. A U.S. jet destroyed much of the block with a 500-pound satellite-guided bomb, commanders said.

It sounds like we really roto-rootered an insurgent hive in Iraq, and that's some much-needed good news. Apparently Tall Afar was a mini-Fallujah 40 miles off the Syrian border that had gone unchecked for over a year.
