So the United States is finally killing people and breaking things. GOOD!

[JFC]

We will hear this story on MSM nightly news tonight RIGHT???

[TWohlford]

KUNA? Those guys take “slant” and “bias” into a whole new realm. I’m waiting for confirmation.

[Vigilanteman]

3 killed and 80 arrested? Every arrestee needs to stand on a gallows with about 4 inches of rope slack around their neck. They will be promised that each good lead they provide will delay the pull of the lever one additional day.

Below the gallows will be a pen full of hungry pigs. Those who don't cooperate will be told that the lever will be pulled and their corpse cut down to feed those pigs.

Am I just jaded? 3 killed doesn’t sound like heavy losses. It’s a good start, though.

[oh8eleven]

three al-Qaida fighters were killed and 80 others were arrested
destroyed an entire house packed with explosives
Heavy losses? One house, three KIA? I guess they don't make wars like they used to.

[jveritas]

Amen to great news.

Al-Qaida in Iraq takes heavy losses

This is why the Democrats say the surge isn't working

[353FMG]

“Al-Qaida militants in Iraq have taken heavy losses..”

The “militants” (read terrorists) in Iraq are mere dumb cannon fodder and are expendable and easily replaced. They’re the “72 virgins” crowd.

The smart and educated terrorists either cross our open borders, visit the US as tourists or immigrates. These are the ones that should take the heavy losses. Instead they are coddled and receive privileged treatment.

This is good news. The biggest problem that will come later is how to make this success lasting. The different Iraqi ethnic and religious groups still have to learn to function as some kind of unified nation. A form of federalism that gives the different groups localized power could help, but there is also a danger that the localized political entities could eventually start fighting each other if there is no national identity to unite them. We don’t want the country to be totally destroyed by civil war and give the Iranians or al-Qaeda a new chance at takeover.

[WLR]

Three al-Qaida fighters were killed and 80 others were arrested, the Army statement said.

What is going on are the US Officers Dyslexic?

80 Captured 3 Killed is that a joke or something?.

1000 US and Allied troops deployed..

3 enemy killed? PLEASE!!!

80 killed 3 captured horribly maimed but expected to survive.

That is the way you say ... don’t kill Americans or their Allies...

The way things went AQ is laughing at the headline.

Jeeze

Arresting 80 Al Qaeda operatives is a big deal. Usually these people fight it out to the death. This could be a sign that the quality of recruits is dropping or that these guys don’t think their cause is worth dying for anymore.

[Bullfrogg]

Perhaps, maybe that Iraq will be the new “Canaan” of our time
and the land of “milk and honey” having to fight the giant Al Qaeda for their divine right of owning Iraq by the grace of God. I maybe wrong, or I maybe right. Our men needs our support, our constitution needs our support.
