What a nice bit of news. If you are say dictator x some place in the middle east particularly near Iraq this is quite a shot across your bow.

Sends a nice message to the Terrorists and their Global jihad network and all of the countries that allow them Sanctuary...

Now if we could just do something like that to the pirates in their little rubber boats off the coast of Somalia, let a few boatloads float back with all the occupants dead-—there might be a glimmer of hope to the end of that pernicious problem.

First report I have seen that mentioned this...heard it earlier on Foxnews:
The Iraqi government defended the raid. Government spokesman Ali al Dabbagh said that Syria had refused to hand over foreign fighters who'd taken refuge there after killing 13 Iraqi border guards.
Not sure when that happened....

Great news. Hats off to my brothers in arms for bagging this guy.

Of course the CIA is going to decline comment. If true it’s nice to know they are on the job and doing bad things to bad people wherever they are.

Yep- this wasn't an attack. It was just a wedding party.
However, there were some unexpected guests that changed the tune to "I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll so I had to to lock and load! "

Hopefully this stopped a future 9-11... Imagine if we did this to Bin Ladin if we had the chance! God Bless our Troops! God Bless America!

Now I'm really confused. Reuters has a report with the same spokesman denouncing the raid.
"The Iraqi government rejects U.S. aircraft bombarding posts inside Syria. The constitution does not allow Iraq to be used as a staging ground to attack neighboring countries," spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081028/ts_nm/us_syria_usa_iraq_dabbagh

The body of Badran Turki Hishan al Mazidih, an Iraqi national who used the nom de guerre Abu Ghadiya, was flown out of Syria on a U.S. helicopter at the end of the operation Sunday by CIA paramilitary officers and special forces, one U.S. official said.There are thousands of pig farmers who would be happy to accept a food donation.
