Iraqi Security Forces rescue sheik hostages

http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14936&Itemid=21

The mission resulted in the rescue of seven sheiks, the capture of four abductors and the killing of at least three extremists at the location where the sheiks were being held. The body of an eighth sheik was recovered at the scene.

The rescued sheiks were taken to a nearby Iraqi Army facility where they received medical attention. Several stated they had been beaten with a tire iron. The sheiks also stated that they have no doubt that their abductors were Shi’a extremists.

“The execution of this mission shows how far Iraqi Security Forces have come,” said Brig. Gen. John F. Campbell, deputy commanding general for maneuver for Multi National Division – Baghdad. “The 9th Iraqi Army, led by General Riyadh, reacted very quickly to intelligence they received; they planned and then organized their forces, and executed a tough and precise mission with support from the Coalition. They are well on their way to being the pre-eminent security force for the people of Iraq.”

Two things are for certain after watching some of this debate;

1. They’re all running against Bush.

2. And Iran better hope one of these idiots gets elected.

Its no mistake (and I’m sure picked up by others) but hillary keeps referring to her XX years of experience and all that.

Keeping Barry at bay I guess...

The bizarre thing is that if you actually listen her XX years of experience amount to simply sticking along with Bill for his run.
