| Jihadee Group Bans Pro-Saddam Rally in Fallujah |

| No Saddam Rallies, that’s great. How about no more terrorism and beheading ’infidels’? Islamic militants prevented a group of Saddam Hussein loyalists from holding a planned march Sunday to show solidarity for the ousted Iraqi dictator. About 20 cars filled with armed, masked guerrillas who refer to themselves as Mujahedeen, or holy warriors, forced about 100 people gathered for the rally to disperse. Islamic radicals were frequently targeted by Saddam and harbor little sympathy for the former leader, who appeared before a court last week. "God gave victory to Fallujah, because it’s a Muslim (city); because it’s applying Islamic law," one of the militants said, according to witnesses. "We don’t want our victory to go to Saddam." Hardline Islamic insurgents spearheaded the resistance against U.S.-led coalition forces in the city, and their struggle has cemented their credentials in the area — even though Saddam’s support base was largely centered around Iraq’s Sunni Muslim minority. |

| #6 We don’t want our victory to go to Saddam." What vicory would that be Achmed? The one where the Tater head uprising fizzled into nothing? Or the 5k or so dead 'Mahdi Army' members? Lesson here is taht the ONLY way to defeat these idiots is to plant them. |

| #2 Forget the spin, Fallujah isn't a Baathist city. It is an al-Qaeda entity, and needs to be either carpet-bombed or nuked. |

| #1 Fallujah's citizens are reaping their "reward" for supporting both Saddam and the let's-kill-the-Americans crowd; they get to live under "Islamic law." And we all know how much fun that is. Sure, we could clean out the jihadis there, but it's more fun to let them "run" Fallujah. It's helpful to have them gathered in one place, and it pays the Fallujans back for their murderous behavior. ESAD, jerks. |
