The residents of a small Iraqi village have killed five insurgents who had attacked them for voting in last weekend's national elections.

Several other insurgents were also wounded.

The insurgents raided the village of al-Mudhiryah south of Baghdad after warning its inhabitants not to vote in the election.

The villagers fought back, killing five of the insurgents and wounding eight others.

The insurgents' cars were then set alight.

Al-Mudhiryah's tribal sheikh says his people are sick of being threatened by Islamic extremists.

yeah, i didn't see that until after, thanks man... I'd like to know of this nugget of good news will be aired on American news channels

[sam_paine]

Yeah, well if launching nukes was as easy as posting a mushroom cloud pick on FR, then we'd all be dead!!!!!

The Taliban used to do that. Not that there's anything wrong with it. I believe in setting examples. Nobody likes having their own tactics turned against them. Payback is a mother.

And stay out, bandito!

Not to burst the bubble, but this is reported by ABC news. That is, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Can I have my ball back?

Thanks for checking on the DU spin. Even though I knew better, I was kind of hoping they would at least see this as positive. Either way, I never check their site while eating.

It's sure tough to be a terrorist when your would-be targets have AK-47s too.

Vigilante Justice can get a bad rap.

Today's news that Iraq wants the UN to give them their money back from the food-for-oil scandal coupled with this indicates that no matter what kennedy kabal liberals think Iraqis don't relish enslavement, torture or deprivation.

President Bush had the foresight, wherewithal and vision to see this. Thank God we have him and not the alternatives. *shudder*

[techcor]

Some over there are actually applauding the Iraqi's fighting back and are aghast at their fellow DUmmies. But the one called Skittle has such an enormous ego that she won't fall for this evil propaganda that makes Bush look good. PJ Comix will never run out of subject matter for his DUmmie FUnnies and if you're not on his ping list you might want to at least check them out.

DUmmie: "Evil Shrub is FORCING the poor Iraqis to defend themselves!"
DUers are in mourning, for sure; they've had a bad week...

They're having a bad decade. Only a dummie could write a stupid statement like that (evil shrub is forcing the poor Iraqis to defend themselves).

Reminds you that dummies don't believe in self defense.

It ain't so much fun when the rabbits got the gun.

[Billie]

Hooray! I hope it's only the beginning of many more reports like this until the insurgents GET THE MESSAGE!

[GloriaJane]

Awesome!!

One thing I have to admit is that Bush was far more correct than I. After 9/11, I wanted to make the entire middle east look like the bottom of a shake and bake bag. He stated that there were millions of people there who just wanted to live in peace and freedom, and that our task was to give them that opportunity.

there's been a lot of people (well mainly DUmmies) criticizing and questioning Bush's intelligence because of his sometimes 'creative' way of speaking, but I think Bush just could be a few steps ahead of everyone and knew this kind of thing would start to happen sooner or later! ALL HAIL PRESIDENT BUSH! :-)
