They conducted the most JOINT patrols yet. (^:

Also secured the nation enough after the pitiful response from Uday and Queasy's pals last week to return to work on the infrastructure after a week of focused security work.

Our military needs Jessie Helms back on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to hold the puffed-up international anti-American socialists (DNC-press) accountable and defend the good work of our military in Iraq.

This should be big news every day. I hate the resounding silence from the major media, broken only by stupid things like "Saddam's daughters state their love for their father"- which, I kid you not, was the headline in my local (NYT) paper on Friday.
