#4 So the Washington Post is admitting that Al Qaeda was in Iraq and it wasn't just a bunch of poor misunderstood freedom fighters behind the violence?

I am still in the British Sepoy Rebellion/Blackjack Pershing mode of spray em with pig fat and bury them wrapped in pig hide.

Hey Mahmoud pass the porkrinds will ya?

#6 So much for the no fly zone, AC130s and A-10s are direct ground support. I think the A-10s are all flown by Guardsman. The USAF wanted to get rid of them, not sexy like F-15s, until the Army said hell we'll fly em. They're trying to avoid another "Marsh Arabs" slaughter. The no fly didn't help there.

#7 The Washington Post learned of their deployment last week but withheld reporting the information until their first missions at the request of U.S. military officials.

Would the Washington Post have done this six years ago?
