| WASHINGTON, March 27, 2007 – Coalition and Iraqi forces captured seven terrorism suspects and destroyed illegal weapons today, military officials reported.
In Mosul, coalition forces captured two suspected terrorists with alleged ties to al Qaeda in Iraq. The suspects were accessing a weapons cache consisting of mortar tubes, rocket-propelled grenades, anti-aircraft rounds and several thousand rounds of small-arms ammunition. The cache was destroyed to prevent future use by terrorists.
A suspect reportedly involved with al Qaeda was detained in Tarmiyah, and another was captured in Fallujah with alleged involvement in a foreign fighter facilitation network.
Iraqi and coalition forces captured three suspected terrorists in Najaf. Intelligence reports indicated individuals in the targeted area were involved with the facilitation of weapons into Iraq.

Under normal circumstances, this would be fantastic news. Today, thanks to Congress, you have to wonder if it does any good.

What happened today in Congress does not all of a sudden stop the troops and their mission. The bill hasn't even been voted on yet in the Senate. But the MSM is making it look (and I'm sure they're hoping) like it's curtains for the troops, Bush and the US.
They're wrong. Bush is not going to let this happen, we won the war, we are currently winning the sweep up and we will continue to win and the Dems will be dust. MSM or not.
