"shouldered their own AK-47s"

Damn, why hasn't there been an assault weapons ban?

Another example supporting of our right to bear arms.

Excellent point.

More good news: "U.S. and Iraqi forces raided a suspected guerrilla training camp and killed 85 fighters, the single biggest one-day death toll for militants in months and the latest in a series of blows to the insurgency, Iraqi officials said Wednesday."

I, too, remember this incident of the village protecting themselves around the time of the election and it immediately came to mind when I read that this incident reported today was the first.

Preemptive retaliation. The best kind.

Isn't it amazing how staggeringly irresponsible today's "journalists" are? An event less than two months old, and a pretty high-profile event no less, and they declare forthrightly that it didn't happen.

So what? Men are not cowards. Paint all the targets you like, wherever you like. Show up to act on them, die like the rest.
