If Bush wins big, then our soldiers will be pumped. It will happen about the election.

For weeks, U.S. warplanes have been striking targets in Fallujah believed to be linked to Zarqawi's guerrilla organization. U.S. and Iraqi authorities have blamed Zarqawi and his supporters for many of the deadliest attacks in Iraq in recent months. The U.S. government has offered a $25 million reward for his capture or death.



Go get 'em guys! And may God watch over you and protect you. I pray for you every day.

Marines raided dozens of buildings, detained six Iraqis and recovered small arms and ammunition, while insurgents attacked the area with mortars and detonated a roadside bomb as the Marines returned to their base. There were no casualties. (AP Photo/Jim MacMillan)

"This will be directed by the interim Iraqi government," Hejlik said during a briefing with reporters. "They are calling the shots."

I don't like that at all.
