Bump for good news.

Stay safe and get the miserable troglodytes.

Why did we have seven casualities? When a mosque is used to stage war it is no longer a sacred site and is subject to desruction. Why wasn't it a smart bomb target with several 500 pounders? There would be seven men whole today. That more than pays for our trouble.

We need to encorage as much of this as possible. Would be nice if the MEDIA would put it on the air so all of the wanna bees would take note.

This part makes me smile. It took roughly two years of occupation in Germany before citizen's protested the Werewolves. That's progress.

I'm absolutely amazed that our troops (with our loyal allies) go into extremely hazardous situations like this one and emerge with no KIAs and relatively few wounded. Meanwhile the poorly trained, underpowered enemy is torn to shreds. Thank God.
