BAGHDAD (AP) -- An Iraqi military spokesman says the leader of the al-Qaida-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, has been captured in a raid west of Baghdad. U.S. officials had no confirmation

...."on O'Reilly, he mentioned that violence was down 80% since the surge"...

I heard all about it on CBS. Oh, I thought you said violins...never mind.

re: This guy has been caught and let go before?

I don't know for sure but that what the post I replied to was saying. I figured if that was the case it was very similar to how Miss Kitty used to entertain herself on long Winter nights.

When we finally either caption Bin Ladin or kill him, the liberals are going to shrug it off and say, so what? He was not the real power. They are so predictable

[beansox]

but but but ... i thought the surge is doomed ti fail...\sarc

The MSM is prolly pissed that they are gonna have to report this tonight. *snickerin*

This is a good day, a major league capture in Iraq and the Anti-War Libs eating their own because they realize how impotent they really are.

[Chgogal]

Yippee!

: )

Love it when a plan comes together!

: )

We must keep in mind though, that the enemy can still vote with suicide belts and cars and that those rats are still scurrying around the Iraqis, just like the D-Rats here.

Another consultant?

If it's our boys---Yee-haa! If it's the Iraqi forces...good for them!

[P.O.E.]

Are these guys on speed or something? Look at those eyes!

[CaptRon]

Whose yer Al-Baghdadi now?!

"Excellent excellent news!!!!! The surge is working, can you hear the gnashing of teeth?"

The surge IS working, and the Democrats are working overtime to make us lose in Iraq. What egg they will have on their faces if, God forbid, WE ACTUALLY SUCCEED.

They have way too much invested in failure.

"Anything not worth doing is not worth doin well" is their motto.

Open the faucet and let the water run!

LOL.

Not sure that I trust that particular detail, but that must be what someone is saying.

They have been known to take drugs before combat. Marines found a lot of needles in Fallujah.

[napscoordinator]

You are probably right. Those guys just don't stop.

[keats5]

Cyclopean squid's talking about a hydra head. LOL.

[RightWhale]

Must be catch and release.

[Musket]

He's all hopped up on Jihadi. Bloodlust.

[John David Stutts]

we can't even put underwear on their heads.

Iraqi military have Baghdadi. They can torture him all day and night.
