Did a major combat operation happen in Iraq today?

[MIMStigator]

or was it a minor combat operation or a medium combat operation or a major non combat operation?

1. Well, bombing is definitely a combat operation

I would imagine that dropping a 2000 lb. bomb is a bigger combat operation than say, dropping a 500 lb. bomb.

Sweeping through the city on the ground would be a minor combat operation based upon how the administration has be porpogandizing in the past, so the 500 lb. bombs dropped the other day must be a medium combat operation.

So logic would dictate that today, we resumed major combat operations.
