MSM DEFINITION OF 'KEY' TOWN:

Any wind blown, piece of crap town that US Forces donot control.

I'm guessing they will "control" the town for another 48 hours, maybe.

But the Media is grasping at straws to show how vigorous the terrorists are. We've been stacking them up like cordwood.

[sofaman]

They've taken control of the city...okay. And we're waiting for what exactly? Level it...

[ncountylee]

Carpet bomb the crap hole and quickly while the filth is still there!

[hflynn]

Sounds like a rich target environment for the USAF.

On Sunday, the bullet-riddled body of a woman lay in a street of Qaim. A sign left on her corpse declared, "A prostitute who was punished."

Zarqawi's fighters had shot to death nine men in public executions in the city center since the weekend, accusing the men of being spies and collaborators for U.S. forces, said Sheik Nawaf Mahallawi, a leader of a Sunni Arab tribe, the Albu Mahal, that had battled the foreign fighters.

Ahh, peace and tolerance - I am sure the MSM will have front page photos...

Evil that is concentrated is easier to destroy. Think Sodom and Gomorrah.

[CommieCutter]

Please all lies. Al-Qaeda had nothing to do with this war! Zaqy doesn't even like Saddam.
It's all about oil. Remember. This is a fake war on terror.

[YouPosting2Me]

Use the dirt from the MOAB hole to help fill in N.O.

[SQUIDMACK]

These guys need Jesus.

[Little Ray]

Zarqawi followers give USAF, USN and USMC aviators, and US Army Field Artillery a nice, well defined target. Details to follow...

You know, you or I could run down the street in our respective cities and put up signs that say "Republic Of Me". That doesn't make it so.

I think what these terrorists are showing with this move is just how close to completely impotent they truly are (which won't be all that pleasant for them when they reach their 72 virgins, if you know what I mean... "honestly, honey, this has never happened to me before!"). The MSM is going to do anything they can to play up terrorist "victories" such as this, even when, as in this case, their great victory amounts to a fart in a tornado.

[Brilliant]

I'm guessing this town will be flattened shortly. Enjoy it while you can, guys.

[rangerwife]

I agree...husband and I lost a friend there in June.

[Wiz]

Where are the human rights groups?

[vox humana]

A sign newly posted at the entrance of Qaim declared, "Welcome to the Islamic Kingdom of Qaim."

Islam is the religion of peace. I'm sure all of those who were killed will rest in peace.

[Mi-kha-el]

Hitler called his entity a Thousand Year Reich. It lasted, how long, 12 years or something. Since this ain't no Hitler's Germany, it is going to be the most sort-lived reich ever.
