I'm quite behind the curve, apparently.

Still ahead of me though.

When U.S. forces sealed off Auja in late October, they separated the leaders of the insurgency from their guerrilla forces, dealing the anti-occupation campaign a major blow, said Lt. Col. Steve Russell of the Army's 4th Infantry Division, which is responsible for the Tikrit area.

Remember all the liberal handwringing about this move? "Shades of Auchwitz!" "Barbed wire around the town? Horrible!" "How could we do this?!?"

Turns out we knew what was up.

Liberals: STFU and sit down.

Seconded.

"12 kids per Muslim mafia crime family."

If it works in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Syrai, Lebanon, Qutar, Turkey, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Saudia Arabia and all other Islamic (and former non-Islamic) nations, why won't it work in America too?

If the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the rest of Europe are any indication of thirty years from now, (if status quo reamins the same) we could be discussing this from The United States of Islamica at the risk of getting our heads cut off.

Among those most highly sought is Izzat Ibrahim, Hussein's deputy and a native of Dawr, who also uses his clan's name, Douri. U.S. military officers said that they have conflicting information about Ibrahim's role in the resistance, including reports that he is little more than an infirm lackey rather than a key operational figure.

Hmmm, first time I'd heard these doubts.

"Hmmm, first time I'd heard these doubts."

You do know it is honorable in Islam for a Muslime to lie to an infidel if the lie is to protect another Muslime, do you not?

It's right in the Koran.

Trustworthy? Honest?

Oh yeah baby!

Hey Akhmed - got a spare cigarette?

I would love to get a real T-shirt like that...complete with the DU website. On the back I would like a Dean '04 sign.

what a combination! Most folks would think Dean is for freeing Saddam and that DU also supports it. Imagine the anger that would be directed at DU and Dean and Clark. I like it!
