#1 The MSM has to have something to complain about or it will look like they have completely failed to bring about a defeat for the US in Iraq.

#2 Don't worry Darth they will. The follow up story will be about how badly it hurts to be a muzzie killing for allah but waterboarded because they got caught inside an unholy mosque.

It's all in perspective, if you're a dhimmicrat.

#4 "Hertling said, however, that the number of roadside bombings against coalition and Iraqi troops in the area had decreased between 40 and 50 percent since the summer. He said there were 849 such attacks in November as compared to 1,698 in June.
So Diyala is a failure because attacks are only down 40-50% instead of the national average of 60%?"

The really positive thing from Baghdad, is that its not just roadside bombs (the biggest killers of Americans) that have gone down, but all kinds of shootings, bombings, and mayhem. Not clear that the decline in roadside bombings in DIYALA has been accompanied (yet) by the other good stuff.

#5 I figured since Hertling was in charge of Northern Iraq, and he was referring to the decline in the 'area', he meant 'area' to be Diyala, or Northern Iraq at the most.

#6 GLOBAL RESEARCH. CA > MEMRI interview of Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan Ldr Muhammed Taher Al-Farouq > " ALLAH WILLING, AMERICA WILL BE SOON BE ANNIHILATED. WE WILL REACH AMERICA...THE EYES OF THE [World/Global] NATION OF MOHAMMED ARE SET ON WASHINGTON, LONDON, MOSCOW, PARIS, NEW DELHI, BEIJING, AND OTHER COUNTRIES ... ... As for Infidels and Enemies of God[Islam] in His Kingdom, the movement will continue its JIHAD ... The [World/Global]Nation of Mohammed [islam] has everything except a CALIPHATE ...".

FAROUQ > argues it is NOT a SIN AGZ ISLAM/GOD to FORCIBLY, UNILATERALLY TAKE FROM INFIDELS, UNBELIEVERS, ANDOR ENEMIES OF GOD-PROPHET-ISLAM.
IOW, FAROUQ > Its NOT a sin to steal, kill, abuse, enslave or destroy. etc. non-Muslims.

#7 WASHINGTON, LONDON, MOSCOW, PARIS, NEW DELHI, BEIJING, AND OTHER COUNTRIES

At least they don't discriminate.
