#2 I hope Michael Yon is OK. He hasn't posted in 4 days and I'm hoping that he's in the field, busy covering the above events.

#3 and...Good news, 170 foreign killed or captured! Not to mention the thousands of Iraqi terrorists killed or captured this year.

forgot to add..there are many good blogs and internet outlets for first hand accounts of the war/politics in Iraq.

#4 me three Dave, just a guess on my part, he's ok his "day job" keeps him from writing up his notes and blogging. He's had much longer breaks than this in the past.

#5 lefties have no clue

It's not about having or not having a clue. It's about beat Bush and sore losers. They want to win even if it kills them (or us all).

#6 This doesn't prove that Iraqis don't hate us. When the leading religious figure in Iraq likens unbelievers to shit and piss, it seems probable that most Iraqis won't like us much. (Ditto most Muslims.) The General's comments merely indicate that increasing numbers of Iraqis are getting tired of having their friends and families blown up by foreign jihadis and ex-Baathists.

#8 My dream headline will be "170 foreign fighters captured in northwestern Iraq, to be tried and hung by Iraq next week".

#9 Swisstex

YES! And he seems to have developed a bit-o-attitude too. :) My first guess is that LTC Kurila getting shot has caused Mike to 2 block the Bravo Sierra flag.
