Hats off to the mayor too. It doesn't look like he's wearing body armor either. It must take a lot of guts and stamina to take a job like that.

Thanks for the ping, Patty. I read this last night and was offering prayers for our troops in Tal Afar then and this a.m.

Declared victory too soon....sure did. The article only mentioned Shia and Sunni disputes and nothing about AQ. It seems like the Sunnis are hell bent on creating (already engaged actually) a civil war. Being as outnumbered as they are, I'm not sure why they are doing this. I read something recently about Sadr expressing a willingness to come to the aid of Iran if the US gets involved. There are a lot of things, non Al Qaeda, going on in Iraq that are still very nettlesome.

I wonder what would happen if somebody posted this on DU. It's a kamikaze run I'm sure.

Hey Patty!

I've been looking around my house for more things to send over there ... You think they need a leaf shredder?

Seriously, I do have a pretty good stack of Rush Limbaugh newsletters and Weekly Standards that I could pop in a box - what do you think?

Rush's stuff is entertaining and the Standard is conservative and has some good views and current info?

Let me know - its only $8 and maybe some room for some hard candy ...

;-)
