Another big fish caught in Iraq. More signs that the surge is working.
A senior figure in al-Qaeda in Iraq armed group was arrested on Monday northeast of Baghdad, the official spokesman of the law-imposing security plan said. “Hussein al-Heyalli, the general mufti of al-Qaeda network in Iraq, was arrested and gave us information that will help to dismantle the group,” Brigadier Qassem Atta al-Mousawi said in news conference. “Since the beginning of March, 241 gunmen and 700 suspected militants have been arrested,” he said in the news conference, which was attended by General William Caldwell, spokesman for the Multi-National forces in Iraq. “A number of hospitals and markets were secured during that period and the security forces played an important role in limiting gunmen’s attacks,” he noted. The spokesman added “the defense ministry has signed contracts to buy devices for detecting explosives, bomb cars and will be used by Iraqi forces soon.” For his part, General William Caldwell said that two brigades of the Multi-National force-Iraq arrived in Baghdad, while a third brigade arrived in Kut, 180 km southeast of Baghdad, and will be in Baghdad in the upcoming days. “The number of forces heading for Baghdad will be completed by June and 7,000 more troops will be deployed, including military police forces, in addition to other 2,000 Georgian troops,” General Caldwell added. U.S. President George W. Bush had vowed to send 21,500 extra troops to Iraqi capital Baghdad to support Iraqi government under Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Iraqi and U.S. troops have been involved in a large-scale operation called Fard al-Qanoon (Rule of Law), since mid-February, in a bid to quell bombings and sectarian violence in Baghdad.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the left spins the success of W’s plan. It was bad enough making him tell the whole world in advance, and despite that it may work anyway. Now I read a piece today that the left is upset that there is no plan B. Geezzeee!!!! Hitler wasn’t destroyed in a day!!!!
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, Robert D. That’s the advantage of being in the cheap seats; you can take cheap shots and not have to worry about being called up to bat.
And Rummy.
Speaking of Rummy, it is his baby that is now working! But that little fact will never make much news…
I just love this guy!
Rummy Fighting Techiques
Yep. Maybe it’s enough that we know it.

It seems like the Dhems are in a bit of a “Quagmire”.
Dems abandon war authority provision
Another one lost, so here is the short version. The Dhems are still tearing themselves apart.

Apparently they didn’t have mommas and daddies to teach them gun safety and that’s why they shoot themselves in the, er, foot, yeah, that’s it, foot daily.
Yep, let’s just sit back and watch. It’s gonna be fun. Like kids playing with firecrackers!!!
OK, a little humor before bedtime.
IT ALL BEGAN IN ROSWELL
Bet You Didn’t Know This Fact …….
Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim an unidentified
flying object with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep and cattle ranch
just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the US Air Force and the federal government.
However, you may well NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham;
John F. Kerry; William Jefferson Clinton; Howard Dean; Nancy Pelosi; Dianne
Feinstein; Charles E. Schumer; and Barbara Boxer were all born.
That piece of information has now cleared up a lot of odd questions
concerning these politicos.
Sleep well my friends….See ya tomorrow
They all have that odd pear-shaped body and seem to speak a one-world message. Look how many flock to their new leaders. This could be the core of The Second Day the Earth Stood Still. Now I can’t sleep.
An alcoholic soporific is just the ticket. Those dreams are gonna be something, though.
Be More Than You Can Be I want that glove now.
