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.

On my feet cheering.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They have tasted freedom and have become intoxicated by it.

It was us who loosed their chains. It's up to them to stay that way. Thay can do it. I predict we'll be hearing of more of these reports over the next few months.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yeah,, the loony left is so last millennium like their terrorist buddies, so absolute. Lets just hope the loony left and the terrorist are just becoming a FOOT NOTE in history that we can gladly soon to forget.

[Shqipo]

This is the feel good story of the day. This village needs to change its name to something like Alqueda al-buried.

[deadhead]

Cheering with you!

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

I've already heard that argument from a left wing kook.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yes,, when the US forces entered Baghdad in April of 2003.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Can we get any reports on how the DUdummies are taking the news ?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Thugs ( democrats/liberals ) hate people ( the majority of Americans ) who won't roll over and be victims. :-)

The insurgents' cars were then set alight.

Tsk, tsk. The terrorist's cars should have been CONFISCATED and put to use in the village.

Otherwise, great job!

Candidates from the NUKEMALL school?

That's the Curtis E. LeMay NUKEMALL School :-)

I distinctly remember telling my pastor the night of Setp. 11 that I was thankful that we had President Bush instead of President Egg, because I would have been too tempted to lay waste to Mecca.

[steveegg]

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

Very true, and I'm thankful that it isn't.

Don't dare fluke with the village of al-Mudhiryah

[exnavy]

Yes, that would best be done during pilgrimage only.

[thathamiltonwoman]

It's about time.

[Straight Vermonter]

The feel good story of the year.

Had Algore been elected there would have been only the continuation of one candidate elections in Iraq.

[Tempest]
