#1 Excellent! This is heady stuff: Iraqi units that have stones and their heads screwed on straight, sweeping hostile Sunni areas with few casualties and rounding up large numbers of possible jihadist terrs, and the cream on top is having some of them turn out to be AlQ leadership. W00t!

Kudos to all involved. This is what is needed to shut down the insurgency, not some lame mindless Ba'athist blather regurgitated by jihadi symp MSM about saving Saddam's narrow ass.

#2 And yet my Chicago Tribunes coverage of the exact same day in Iraq headlines with some combination of the words "INSURGANT" "VIOLENCE" "KIDNAPPED AMERICAN"... and way at the end of the story a mention of 500 iraqi soldiers and 200 US soldiers conducting door to door come to Jesus meetings.
Yesterday was a quagmire in Iraq. My Trib tells me so.

#4 The best thing is that everytime we grab a few leaders we end up rolling up a lot more soon after.

I'm sure the myth and facts of Abu Grahb are actually helping us get info out of these guys now.
