And about 100% of us jumped for joy here on FR, and of that, about 90% thought it would be beginning of the end of the War there.

Same when we got Saddam, same when we got Zarkawi, another overly-optimistic similar cheer went up.

We still haven’t got the red-headed Saddamite creep. I can’t remember his name.
