Old news. This was the lead story on ABC/CBS/NBC yesterday. NOT!

The more help we get from Iraqis,the more lives can be saved.

I hope that every Baathist and non Iraqi who was involved in this planned IED attack is either killed or captured for intel info.

The Iraqis for the most part know who the really bad guys are, and it "aint't" the American Warriors.

This is GREAT NEWS!This is an indication that Iraqis are beginning to become part and parcel to the maintenance of their security!!

This can't possible be true. Peter Jennings said all the Iraqis see us as the evil occupier.

The Iraqi people are beginning to understand that the only way this fight can be won is WITH the Iraqi people. If they really want their freedom, they must step up and it looks like that is exactly what they are doing.

I'm sure this news will break the hearts of CNN,CBS,ABC and NBC. They will be so deep in grief that they will just keep news like this to themselves.

If you haven't yet read this WSJ editorial, please do. It should have been the front page news story of the weekend, imho.

Notice how seldom our mainstream press chooses to listen to the leaders of Iraq, or the other freedom-loving Iraqis? Instead, our enemies ~ the small % of Hussein loyalists, enemies of freedom ~ know where to find our press ~ and are given a voice by our FREE (** thanks to our troops **) press.
