Great news! Most important is that Iraqi citizens are dropping a dime and turning terrorists in.

Too bad the MSM isn't run by real Americans who would be proud of news like this. Remember how during WWII the movie theaters always had the war news briefs before movies? Remember when Americans were asked to sacrifice and gladly did? And how the whole country encouraged and supported the war efforts? If things were like they are now during WWII, I doubt we would have won.

The only thing that would make it better woul;d be to read that this dirtbag was shot while "resisting arrest" or "trying to escape." Now he'll go to a prison where he and the media will claim he's being "tortured" because the guards aren't peeling his grapes for him.

Contact your local media outlets and ask them why news of this sort isn't reported--I do.

It is going to be such a rush to see this slime and the rest of the terrorist hierarchy tried and hanged.

Just like Nuremberg after WW2...

Hmmm Hope the gallows party is televised... it could go on for hours. Might even beat the bloviator in the ratings.

Thanks.

Oh, and the fun really starts when you call businesses that advertise through these outlets and ask them why they don't support the troops.
