President’s Radio Address to the Nation – August 18, 2007
In his weekly radio address President Bush said, “In recent months, American and Iraqi forces have struck powerful blows against al Qaeda terrorists and violent extremists in Anbar and other provinces. In recent days, our troops and Iraqi allies launched a new offensive called Phantom Strike. In this offensive, we are carrying out targeted operations against terrorists and extremists fleeing Baghdad and other key cities — to prevent them from returning or setting up new bases of operation. The terrorists remain dangerous and brutal, as we saw this week when they massacred more than 200 innocent Yezidis, a small religious minority in northwestern Iraq. Our hearts go out to the families of those killed, and our troops are going to go after the murderers behind this horrific attack.”

Discurso Radial del Presidente a la Nación – 18 de agosto de 2007
En los últimos meses, fuerzas estadounidenses e iraquíes han dado fuertes golpes contra terroristas al-Qaeda y extremistas violentos en Anbar y otras provincias. En días recientes, nuestras tropas y aliados iraquíes lanzaron una nueva ofensiva llamada Phantom Strike (o Ataque Fantasma). En esta ofensiva estamos llevando a cabo operaciones específicas contra terroristas y extremistas que están huyendo de Bagdad y otras ciudades claves – para evitar que regresen o establezcan nuevas bases de operación. Los terroristas aún son peligrosos y despiadados – como vimos estas semana cuando masacraron a más de 200 inocentes yezidis, una pequeña minoría religiosa en el noroeste de Irak. Nuestros corazones se extienden a las familias de los muertos – y nuestras tropas irán en busca de los asesinos que cometieron este horrendo ataque.
