BAQUBAH, Iraq – Local citizens in Buhriz, a neighborhood within Baqubah, Iraq, informed Iraqi Security and Coalition Forces of six terrorists in the area, leading to their detention Friday.

The terrorists admitted being responsible for placing and detonating improvised explosive devices and have been transferred to a detention facility.

“The people are getting tired of the terrorists’ continued violence, realizing the terrorists wish to bring nothing but destruction and harm to their families and their villages,” said Col. David W. Sutherland, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division commander and senior U.S. Army officer in Diyala province.

“They will not be swayed by the terrorists’ actions and are beginning to turn to the security forces for help as they recognize the ISF are the true protectors of their country.”

And as reported by the Lamestream Media:
either
sound of crickets
or
“It’s a quamire, failed policy, Bush’s fault, waahhhh....”

I work with an engineer who is an Arab Muslim. Says that the average person there just wants to get on with life, provide for family, and resents these thugs and criminals. No, he does not call them insurgents, he prefers thugs, gangsters, crooks. Same terms he uses to describe the Palestinian Authority.
