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.

That was a pretty darn good Jackie Gleason impersonation-he was right there on the inside of my eye lids as I read that. Almost the same size screen I used to watch him on back then-but now in living color.

Disgustingly enough some of the DUmmies (especially Skittles) are calling it just propaganda. And you can just tell from the tone of her posts just how much she hates the idea of Iraq working out. Plus some of them are decrying it as vigilantism.

"....life is GOOD." Roger that!
It will get even better, when the "insurgents and terrorists" here in America receive the same reception when they show their faces to attack our Republic and it's Constitution.
Arm thyselves neighbors, the day may arrive when you will be asked to defend the Republic.

"Fought back and then torched the terrorists' car."
I was wishing for something to do with pig fat - but this is okay too.

Oh, baby! These Iraqis have just experienced voting - way up high on the freedom scale. Looks like they want to keep it that way. This is fantastic.
To: WildTurkey
Not to burst the bubble, but this is reported by ABC news.
That is, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
