Across four provinces -- a comprehensive operation certain to get Al Qaeda's and the Taliban's attention.

I do believe our so-called journalists nowadays would rather slit their wrists than use the term terrorists, unless of course they're referring to U.S. troops ALLEGEDLY massacring "innocents."

Twenty-two more sleazeballs no longer able to hurt or kill innocent people, thanks to American and coalition military personnel taking a courageous stand against evil. God bless 'em!

Mr Murtha is calling for an investigation of charges that captured terrorists were forced to ride in non air conditioned military aircraft that lacked adequate bathroom facilties.

What I find interesting is that this is the first time I remember the term "insurgent" applied to foes in Afganistan. Maybe I just never noticed it before, but in Afghanistan the enemy is usually identified as Taliban or Al Qaida.

Reminder bump of the other key front in this global war on terror. It's been a great past day or so for freedom!
