| #9 Nice to see this happening in Anbar and Salaheddin. It means that the course of events in these areas is going in the direction we want it more and more. Now we need to see the same thing done in Diyala, and fast. |

| #8 Personally, I would prefer a story that says that US military killed 72 Al-Qaeda people. Now we have to feed, house and take good care of them. Of course taking good care of them means feeding them better than a wealthy Iraqi, making sure they know which way Mecca is, giving them an untouched-by-infidel-hands Quran, etc. |

| #3 Yeah but this can't happen. Harry Reid and the 9 dhemmi dwarfs that are running for President said it can't happen. The surge won't work. We are losing. Pull out. Surrender. Good work US Military! Keep it up. |

| #2 72? Like virgins, ooh, ooh... And Anbar and Salaheddin are still restive. Seems like all journos are on this verbal conspiracy. Or mayhaps it's laziness or underdeveloped vocabulary. Yea, gorb, I suspect that AQ-boyz $hitting bricks may be fairly close to truth. Probably lists were compiled and made available through local sheiks. |

| #1 Did they go in with a list of names or get lucky at a safe house or two? If these guys are connected, I'll bet AQI are biting their fingernails and $hitting bricks. |
