#1 "...The crowd apparently turned on Khalaf after learning he was behind atrocities committed in his hometown..".

Guess the atrocities committed in Samara, Baghdad, and Shelbyville were OK though.

#2 I hope they recited the liberal's silent prayer...

#3 Much like the proverbial 400 lawyers in a bus at the bottom of a lake, this too, is a good start. I'd say the crowd showed impressive restraint in not applying Fanus' favored methods to himself before handing ~~his severed appendages~~ him over.

#5 Amir Khalaf Fanus was cornered by a vigilante mob who beat him before he was handed over to a passing patrol of U.S. Marines, Britain's Daily Mirror reported.

They should have killed him themselves and saved their government the money for upkeep. But if he's tried and put to death for his crimes later on, that's perfectly fine.

#8 Aw hell, why'd they have to turn him over to our guys. Now we're going to have to put him up at the Ritz-Carlton for the rest of his life so Human Rights Watch is happy. Too bad one of the Marines didn't accidentally discharge his weapon.

#9 Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency. They are united against U.S. forces and we have become a catalyst for violence. U.S. troops are the common enemy of the Sunnis, Saddamists and foreign jihadists. -JOHN P "MELTDOWN" MURTHA

Looks like the local townspeople are the enemies of the same folks as our Marines are eh, Murtha?

The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong. (The President has a ) permanent commitment to a failed strategy - DOC HOWEY "YEARRRGH" DEAN

Yeah, we never taught those folks the effective methods in using Jihadis for a punching bag, they learnt it all on their own...

There is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that.
- JOHN "F'N" KERRY

In broad daylight the Iraqis corner and terrorize a terrorist in thier midst, then give him to the Marines for further "processing".

Our overwhelming military presence has inflamed the insurgency... - TED "FILOBUSTER BAGOGAS" KENNEDY

The only thing flaming going on in Ramadi is the searing pain of all those cracked bones Amir Fanus has...

There's three groups in Iraq and they all hate one another - the Kurds, the Shiites and the Sunnis . . . As long as these three groups are asked to come together in an army, they're not going to fight as a cohesive force - and it won't be a cohesive government. CHUCK "E. CHEESE" SCHUMER

His hopes are dashed a little as Sunni town Ramadi turns over a scuzzbag pigshit to our guys...

...the status quo is not working and that we need to have a plan that makes us safer and our military stronger and makes Iraq more stable. - NANCY "AM I IRRELEVANT?" PELOSI

Perhaps the Ramadi townspeople agree that the status quo wasn't working so they started to dig rats out of holes...

You know, I wish the world well. I want Iraq to have democracy and the Haitians to have democracy. - BARBARA "CLUELESS" BOXER

Kum-by-ya...
