Only 60 left eh.....

That's damn good news. They likely went to Baghdad to check into the paradise hotel.

If they leave there, most of the places they can go are being set up as mouse traps.

The 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment (1-9), 2nd Infantry Division has been given the dirty job of house to house combat in Ramadi's center. Many of the houses have been booby trapped in anticipation of the attack.

Nothing, debates on FR over Pub candidates' conservatism- straw polls - DOW Jones Averages etc. whatever, is more important than our Armed Forces' success at anytime at any place they might be. Godspeed Troops!

The tribes have been formed into paramilitary units called "Emergency Response Units"

Pay them by the scalp.
