POLITICALLY INCORRECT JOKE:
Three 'strangers' strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana, awaiting their flights.
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer. Another is a Texas cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a 'fundamentalist' Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim, and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The Texas cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth, and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a drawl, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'."

"An AC-130 gunship raked the city with 40 mm cannon fire as explosions from U.S. artillery lit up the night sky. Intermittent artillery fire blasted southern neighborhoods of Fallujah, and orange fireballs from high explosive airbursts could be seen above the rooftops."

Just got home and am catching up.
Anytime someone raises the "are they really terrorists?" question to me, I simply returned with this question: Would they blow up a bus of Israeli children, storm a Russian school or kill Americans?"
There's your answer.

Allawi trying to shore up political support with some success.
"He said the powerful al-Dulaimi tribe in Anbar would declare its support for the government very soon."
"Allawi, a secular Shiite, was also in contact with the Anbar members of the large Al-Shamar tribe and that they too were "responsive and very cooperative and declared their complete support of the government," added Naqib."
Allawi also made a temporary governor for Fallujah and Ramadi.

"So another Zarqawi aide is dead?"
Saw that. Hat's off to No Blue States for catching that in the news.
There was also the "notebook" that was picked up that had the photos of foreign terrorists. Every bit of intel has got to be helping. Maybe this won't be immediately of use in the battle of Fallujah, but in the wider campaign, maybe so.
