As I've heard, that marvelous philanthopist Danny Thomas is also from lebanon. Good things and GOOD PEOPLE come from Lebanon, they are not all terrorists there.

Thank you very much. Without the great benevolence of America, the greatest nation in history of mankind, many people will not have the opportunity to show that they have goodness in them. God Bless America.

And the "surge" is yet in it's infancy. The goons will perish and a future democratically governed Iraq slowly converting into a more modernized industrial nation will spring up, where Islam may be held in check. Lots of work yet to be done that is for sure.

I know some Arabic enough so I can translate simple sentances. Of course with an article like this I also need some help from translation software.

My great grandparents came from Lebanon, too. They were escaping from the Ottoman boot.

Not so long ago, Burtha Mosque (to whom Burtha News belongs) was raided by an alleged American force and some posters got excited about it! Check this

Apparently, it was reported that the raiding party found nothing of interest.

The Burtha mosque is the most holy Shia mosque in Baghdad. Raiding it shows we weren't playing favorites like we did in 2006.

My gut feeling is several times that "200" figure.
My gut feeling is that the 200 figure is somewhat inflated. I reckon is more like a dozen or two.

Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite CDs. It really shows what the arabic problem is : strong tribalism. The scene in the damascus city hall with everyone shouting at once clearly illustrates why the british divided and conquered the arabs, tribe by tribe. You see it today in Iraq with its 50 tribes, all vying to be numero uno.

Yes, yes, they want a new mohammed, their MAHDI. Nonsense. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. No, our democratic ways may seem foolish and weak to the death cult arabs but GWB gets his gonads yanked on every day. Which is just as it should be.

Today it's the AG getting whacked, tomorrow it'll be someone/something else. As president/leader in a democracy you can't get away with SQUAT w/o being held accountable. Which would you rather have : blind obedience to a fuhrer, a saddam, or a leader that you can say : NO! You can't do this, or YES! We're with you on that.

That's the beauty of our congress. All money bills originate in the House. The leader may WANT to do this or that, but if the PEOPLE say NO, then he'd better do it out of his own salary, if he can afford it.

I hope those police will be put back in school and taught how to not get caught again. Then again, the goons may have be wiped out, not to return to this small city again at this point. AQIR are probably more concerned with just trying to find places to zoom to in their white toyodas for hiding and regrouping at this point then trying to pull much stuff off.
Of course we shall continue to hear about some goon who sits behind a wall and pushes a button on occasions.
