Maybe some of the Sunnis harboring him did the math on what happens to them in a civil war.

They've arrested quite a few today. Country-wide.

I'm beginning to believe the hunch I've had over the last couple of days just might come to fruition.

That shrine bombing just may have a big silver lining.

"Again?"

Well, there's Number 2. Then there's Number 2.1, Number 2.2, Number 2.3 and so on.

IRAQI Interior Ministry forces captured a senior aide to al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi state television said.

Iraqiya named the man as Abu Farouq and said he was captured with five others in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, west of the capital.

It said Abu Farouq al-Suri, previously unknown to the media, was captured by the Wolf Brigade, one of several counter-insurgency units operating within the Shiite-run Interior Ministry but accused by Sunnis of targeting civilians in their community.

The word Suri is Arabic for Syrian, indicating that the captured man may have come from Iraq's western neighbour.

US military spokespeople were unaware of the capture.

This must be false.

Why, the MSM and pundits tell me that Iraqi forces are ill equipped, and badly trained-They couldn't POSSIBLY pull something like this off...

This must be propoganda, because Iraq's forces must be tripping over themselves, as per these sources...

Yes, that was sarcasm

Now why do the words in bold bring a smile to my face?

has the MSM just unmasked itself?

Why should his senior aides be known to the media?

Also note that they were operating "within the shiite run interior ministries." - Hmmm...

"Wolf Brigade"

I believe they were supposed to have been involved in getting that Abu Anas last week.

Hi All-

Has everyone ever noticed how many "aides" these terrorists have? They travel with bigger entourages than those absurd rap singers.
