TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) U.S. troops uncovered one of their biggest weapons caches to date Saturday at a farm near Saddam Hussein's birthplace, including anti-aircraft missiles and a huge quantity of explosives used to make the homemade bombs that have killed numerous American soldiers.

Check the mosques.

A BIG Thank you to the squeeler. The Iraqi people should realize that you care for them more than yourself and that WE are the ones that will help you clean out that regime.

It must be difficult to squeel with terrorists at every turn.

[PokeyJoe]

screw that, blowup the mosques.

But there are absolutely NO Weapons of Mass Destruction hidden anywhere in the country. None. Riiiiight, Mr. Dean, Mr. Clark, Rev. Sharpton, et al...

We've had 6 months...I'd like to know what % of land has been covered so far--including mosques.

Good News Bump/Ping!

They invaded our military posing as chaplains -- go for the mosques, clean them all out with multiple searches simultaneously. Safety of American servicemen and the innocent comes first.

It must be really tough to be a RAT at this point in
our history. JFK once said that sometimes party loyalty
asks to much, but not for today's RATs. They put party
loyalty above their loyalty to their country. I think
they are upset every time our heros uncover these
terrorist weapons caches. I just wish this crowd would
have been on the top floors of the World Trade Center.
They (the RATs) are a useless, miserable lot.

But, but the poor dirt farmer was only trying to get them desert varmits after his limes. Now, because of Bush and this trumped up war, his wife and children will starve.

President Reno would approve, but only if filled with women and children first.

Well put.

We are winning the "hearts and minds " campaign, and blowing up mosques will undo a lot of good work and get more of our guys killed.

Amen to your whole post

We shouldn't do that, but the new Iraqi police will. They can do it without bringing down condemnation on our troops.

I agree with you, about the tendency of today's Democrats to abandon all other commitments including to the welfare of the United States, in order to seek and hold public office. I take a humorous tack on this precise subject in my column this week. (Click below.)

Tikrit was rumored to have an "underground city", but you never hear anything about it, just like the caves at Tora Bora.

Im sure this very thought has been brought up to those over there but first the New Iraqi police need to gain the trust of those in the mosques

They will. I heard that the Iraqis are shocked by how polite the new police are.

Everyone was furious will Bremner for firing all the police and military, but there was a method to the madness. When they were rehired, it was under the condition that they would behave properly, respect the people, and bribes were cause for instant dismissal. There is a big difference in a man's attitude when he gets a NEW job as opposed to continuing in his old job. He's more willing to listen to the new "boss". The people will see this difference and respond.

I have a lot of respect for Bremmer, he has a tough job but is doing his best.
