Hopefully the military unlike the press understands he was taken prisoner, not arrested

"....arrested"

The AP continues to enable BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), and in fact this wording may well be symptomatic of their own LBDS(Latent Bush Derangement syndrome).

seriouly, some editor down at AP needs some schooling.....

Seems like we are having more and more success in Iraq regarding Al Qaeda, but the rest of the inter-religious stuff is disturbing. Will we find that the Sunni and Shia can never settle down?

Make sure you don't take any pictures of him in his boxer shorts or let a dog bark at him, or keep him awake longer than 8hrs or any TORTURE like that.

Turbin Durbin, torture Policeman, will be on the case.

He said there had been 150 focused operations carried out since Aug. 30 resulting in "66 terrorists killed and 830 suspected terrorists detained."

There is no theory of evolution: there is only a list of creatures that Jack Bauer hasn't killed.

"Will we find that the Sunni and Shia can never settle down?"

Hard to say. It is my understanding that this major rift has been in existance since the 7th century. Neither side has ever been able to wipe out the other, and there have been times of fighting, tensions, truces, and live-and-let-live to one degree or another. In some places Sunni and Shia have been living next door to each other for generations and there has been more than a little inter-marriage.

Hard part to discern is whether that was simply to thwart Iran or becuase he sees some opportunity to make progress.

Great. While we keep picking up these "Senior" al-Qaeda punks in Iraq, why can't we get the big fish in Afghan/Pakistan?

The Taliban are regrouping and fighting back in surprisingly large numbers. We Republicans can try to spin it all we want, but the bush team really dropped the ball in this war.

"Jack Bauer doesn't have to eat, sleep or go to the bathroom. His organs are afraid of making him angry."

You can lead a horse to water. Jack Bauer can make him drink.

Jack Bauer let the dogs out.

If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice.

The reason why terrorists attacked New York City was because Jack Bauer was in LA.

If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared your life.

Every time you maturbate Jack Bauer kills a terrorist. Not beacuase you masurbated, but because that is how often he kills terrorists.

Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

Deaf people listen to Jack bauer.

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

Jack Bauer killed 93 people in just 4 days time. Wait, that is a real fact.

Osama bin Laden's recent proposal for truce is a direct result of him finding out that Jack Bauer is, in fact, still alive.

1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight.

Jack Bauer was never addicted to heroin. Heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer.

When Google can't find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help.

Jack Bauer doesn't miss. If he didn't hit you it's because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away.

If Jack and MacGyver were locked in a room together, Jack would make a bomb out of MacGyver and get out.

Colin Farrell smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. Jack Bauer smokes a pack of terrorists anytime he feels like it.

Jack Bauer's favorite color is severe terror alert red. His second favorite color is violet, but just because it sounds like violent.

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

People with amnesia still remember Jack Bauer.

The quickest way to a man's heart is through Jack Bauer's gun.

Jack Bauer got Hellen Keller to talk.

Jack Bauer has been to Mars. Thats why theres no life on Mars.

If Jack Bauer was gay, his name would be Chuck Norris.

Jack Bauer cannot stick his elbow in his ear, but he can stick your elbow in your ear.

Lets get one thing straight, the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you.

When you open a can of whoop-ass, Jack Bauer jumps out.

When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer f***ing hates lemonade.

When the boogie man goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Jack Bauer.

Killing Jack Bauer doesn't make him dead. It just makes him angry.

While I agree, in part at least, that the Administration could have handled some aspects of the war differently, I would point out that there are 3 reasons we are hearing more about the Taliban...

1) This summer we have been far more aggreesive than in the past. We are actively hunting the Taliban in large numbers (and ofetn killing them in larger numbers). This has resulted in more contact with them, so we hear more about them.

2) The Taliban wants to get their licks in before winter sets in. Winter weather severely hampers their operations in and near the moutainous regions.

3) They have adopted Iraq-style terror tactics (car bombs, etc...) The media feeds on this, so they report it more.

The idea that the Taliban are producing this increasingly unbeatable force isn't correct. They have been getting their collective a$$e$ handed to them.

Wars are never perfect, far from it - mistakes are always made and opportunities missed. In war, however, the consequences are greater as lives rather than finances etc hang in the balance. Look at what happened in the Bulge - it was a huge screw up on many levels.

What would you propose to do for future (not past - that's too easy) combat ops/tactics etc?

This doesn't hurt either (from the FoxNews article):

A senior member of Al Qaeda in Iraq was killed during an operation in Baghdad this week carrying letters for Usama bin Laden and the new leader of the terror group's Iraqi offshoot...

I doubt those were love letters...

I'll give you just one reason... We didn't utterly destroy them when we had the chance.

Same with bin Laden. We Tora Bora surrounded and he still got away because we wanted to play good politics with the local tribes. Fighting a PC war is the surest way to lose.

Actually, I believe that the murderers have little if any religious motivation. I think they are "equal opportunity", as long as the target is homogeneous enough to be called sectarian. I think you would find the same killers in both sides of town.

I didn't think Al Qaeda was in Iraq. The MSM and the democrats keep shouting that Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terrorism and that we should withdraw from Iraq.

Wasn't it Al Qaeda that brought down the towers? If Al Qaeda is in Iraq, then shouldn't WE be in Iraq?
