Gracias, AMigo.
Thanks Ernest.
[snip] Iraqi intelligence reports suggest the group’s numbers have dwindled from around 50,000 to as few as 150 in the past few years... An Iraqi intelligence official reports as many as 2,000 Mehdi Army fighters were killed in recent operations in Basra, Sadr City and the provincial capital of Maysan, Amarah... Obama, being the naive and clueless empty-suit that he is, will no doubt attempt to try and claim credit for this success. But in the face of all his votes and statements calling for defeat and faux victory parades for our troops he will only make a fool of himself to everyone outside the liberal mindset, and be seen as a traitor to the liberal cause when he does. I expect he will be inserting his foot in his mouth any day now. [end]

Oh, Ernest, thank you, thank you for the PING.
This is just absolutely the BEST news. Of course, I had heard rumors, but to see it in black and white is just grand!!
We still may have quite a bit of a slog, but there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel!
Thanks again.
