#1 If this is true, it is great news but I have had some "issues" with AKI's reporting in the past.

#2 Crosspatch -- thanks, wasn't sure of their reporting. Other articles they had seemed okay. Will take you word. Thanks again.

#3 Sources told Adnkronos International (AKI) that local tribes were also pursuing foreign terrorists "because of the immense damage they have done to infrastructure and the bad name they have given the insurgency by terror attacks against innocent civilians."

Red-on red! Or, maybe, red-guys-turning-blue-on-red.

They're just betting on the "strong horse".

#6 I have no problem w/shooting them as they're fleeing - they need a refresher course in the highway of death.

#7 I wonder if we're going to stand back and let the Iraqis handle this one, just so long as only 1 vermin is left standing to send a message to the others.

#8 Lord help them when the Iraqis take over. I don't believe the Iraqis are nearly as worried about strongly worded press releases from Amnesty International as we are.

#9 If Saddam could be parolled and hired again by Halliburton as a security contractor, peace would break out within 24 hours.

#10 True, Besoeker, and then we'd have to back within a year to clean out the pestillence Mr. Hussein would have caused, for the third time.

#11 Yes indeed. Bad idea for sure, but they need a George Patton type. Not sure such a person exists in that part of the world.

#12 Hanging Saddam would go a long way toward reducing the violence too. As long as he lives, there is hope of toppling the government, freeing him, and somehow restoring him to power. Once he is dead, the Saddamists can go about their business without looking like they have abandoned him.

I say hang him soon and the sooner the better.

#14 Tell them Run to RAMADI!

#15 This is the best of all reviews of our performance at Fallujah. We rattled their chimes so hard that they are terrified of any kind of follow-up engagement.

If they make it to Syria, hopefully they will tell the Syrians, Hizbollah and the Iranians that fighting the US is like fighting three divisions of Terminator robots. That is, something to be avoided at all cost.

#16 I want them shot dead, but within sight of the Syrian border. Kill em
