2. Good

I had heard on NPR that a second raid from information garnered from Saddam's magic briefcase had happened last night, I guess this was it.

6. 11 more martyrs created

Why keep killing these freedom fighters that are just trying to save their country from agressive Americans? Have we learned nothing? The parols would not be getting ambushed if they were here at home protecting their familes from more dangerous threats like Ashcroft and homeland security.

7. "Freedom fighters"

LOL ... and the Nazis who murdered Allied troops after the surrender and occupation of Germany were also "freedom fighters?" You would have supported them as well?
