You gotta love this picture --- Only in Iraq!!!
And I am happy for her...




An elderly woman fires a pistol in the air to celebrate the news that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's leader in Iraq who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings and kidnappings, has been killed in an air raid north of Baghdad, in the Sadr City area of Baghdad, Iraq Thursday, June 8, 2006. She was given the pistol by a police officer she knew to join in the celebrations by firing in the air. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)

2. We will never see her in the papers or on tv
The truth that Zarqawi is just another thug is a gang war in Iraq is far too complex for the black and white of the MSM.

3. And, 5 minutes after this was taken, the US military called in air strikes
reporting that US Marines on street patrol were under assault.
