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.
Everything about this is cool. The fact that they fought and won, and the fact that they perceived extremists as the enemy, and the enemy as extremism.
A lot of people (read anti-American leftists) have been telling me that the Shiites are all nuts and will have a theocracy as bad as Iran's. Here's hoping they are wrong.
I think that the Iraqi people will show themselves to be fierce in defending their newly discovered freedom. If this is an indication, God help the bastards who are terrorizing them.
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.
The left will say it is obvious Iraq needs gun control because there are too many vigilantes, nobody needs a gun for self defense, and this is all Bush's fault anyway.
Perfect! Bump.
There's an exit strategy I can get behind.
Yeah, but the left is soooooooooo last millenium.
AFT!
(A= About, T = Time...)
The beginning of the end for the terrorists. It was reported by ABC NEWS.
Somebody ought to post a pic of Nelson Muntz going "Ha ha!"
DUmmie: "Evil Shrub is FORCING the poor Iraqis to defend themselves!"
I hope the Iraqis warm the hearts of the terrorists' cockles!
Now they are getting the message, when the real people get a bellyful of insurgents they can no longer exist.
String their sorry butts up and it wont take long before the Iraquis have a country to call their own.
over an open pit fire, preferably.
Ditto.
Yeahhh Baby!!!
Now this is what we have been hoping would happen.
DUers are in mourning, for sure; they've had a bad week.
Over THEIR burning vehicles this time around!
well this lead off the MSM tonight?
