Breaking.

Top of the website on the conservative Japanese daily "Sankei" Shimbun news, Japanese language:

Samarra (Samara), Iraq has been captured and put down completely by victorious US troops jointly with Iraqi Government troops...... 109 terrorists killed..... 37 captured....... 47 bodies at local morgue....... Some civilians in there, unfortunately, as collateral (R.I.P)...... Most Iraqi civilians fled the city (thousands). This then enabled US troops to seal off city, preventing terrorists from returning or getting out. Blasted mercilessly their autos, boats, etc. loaded with weapons.......Sankei says the fierce offensive fighting by US troops against Iraqi resistence, guerillas and terrorists is going to now spread.....with an eye towards cleaning things up in advance of elections..........developing

Sorry for the quick "Freepranslation" from the original Japanese, but that will have to do for now.

The main points are covered, though. Some quoting of AP took place in the Sankei article....probably more or less what the Western wire services are saying right now.....

I have to question the timing of this (and your translation is fine).

You're assuming that they'll cover this??

Think again! The "Western wire services" may not be willing to report a success story in Iraq.

Could this be the reason Bush seemed preoccupied last night? Seemed like he had something heavy on his mind, and had to go through the foolishness of the debate. IMHO

It's an ode to leftists who 'question the timing' of any event that favors the President.

I read in another report that US troops freed a Turk who was being held hostage in that city. I wonder if there are other hostages there?

Excellent news. Hope there were no casualties for the good guys. And I really really really hope that there is some Zarqawi dna in there somewhere.
