>>They handed him over to the Iraqis and he later died of his injuries,
A little medicinally applied 9mm?
Wonderful pic! Guess those folks didn't get the DBM's memo that this is no big deal...
I read it the other way around on one post. I guess we'll eventually read a more detailed, how it all happened story in coming days, like the Saddam capture.
YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I see Yahoo has bad news on it's headline:
• Al-Qaida in Iraq vows to continue holy war -- LOL LOL BE MY GUEST.................
• Stock futures down on interest rate fears
• Bush hails operation to kill al-Zarqawi
• Cell phone saves immigrants lost in Arizona
• Dwarf dinosaur fossils found in Germany
• Bluegrass Cat made favorite for Belmont
• French Open · NHL · NBA · MLB · World Cup
Probably 100 degrees there and you wear black?? Good grief.
Thanks for the reports and for all you do. You are absolutely right about withdrawal. This news no doubt improved our position in the region, but the battle continues and the War still has many fronts...

Yes I heard 7 dead, Rockman (sp) got it too.
It was tantamount to the Democrat statements each first Friday of the month when positive jobs reports come out. It's always "that's good news, but..." Senator Biden used the opportunity to provide a small congrats, when asked, but then went on to criticize everything else. Somewhere in courtesy lessons, politicians forget when to just stop talking...
....Looks like Somalia is the only "friendly" government ..
It is my understanding that Somalia has no governmnet. The fact there is no law is the reason AQ may be able to exist there.
This makes my day!!!
Way to go guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now listening to WLS, they just promoed an upcoming appearance by Ann Coulter, since I don't have to go to work "too" early today anyway.....
Ditto!
Are you in Delaware? If so, you and the other citizens of Delaware have my sympathies.
some good news the MSM could not ignore...
US forces decided on this symbol, instead:
I salute the professionalism of the soldiers. Had I found him, my first impulse would have been to shoot him in the kneecaps then strike him across the face and jaw with the butt of my rifle over and over saying, "Where's your f***ing Allah now, gobshite? DIE DIE DIE!"
Sorry, I'm just happy he's gotten his.
Regards, Ivan
