Iraqi, US forces kill 10 militants, arrest 16 in Miqdadiya

2007-09-23

(KUNA) -- Joint Iraqi and US forces killed ten militants and detained 16 others in the town of Miqdadiya in Diyala Province, northeast of Baghdad, according to Iraqi police on Saturday. A police press release quoted an official source as saying that the joint forces made progress in search operations for terrorist groups in Miqdadiya and its suburbs, considered a launch point for Al-Qaeda operatives in the area.

According to the source, ten militants were killed and 16 others were arrested, while 11 explosive devices were defused and eight others were safely detonated. They also safely detonated two booby-trapped houses and discovered three weapons caches, the statement said, adding that the forces were supported by residents of the two. Miqdadiya is still being struck be terrorist attacks despite the considerable improvement in Diyala security.

#2 I've notivce that, too, and assume I'm not alone.

This morning's Washington Post did not have an article on the chaos in Iraq, or the troop drawdown - they had to console themselves with an anti-military story about the Barksdale Bombs (the atomic bombs unknowingly flown over America). Plus an article about Hilly's Mom, and the Saudi yoot article I posted. Nothing about Iraq.

I assume that means we've won.......

#1 despite the tragic VEHICLE ACCIDENT that claimed 7 of our troops in a single day, the American casualty rate is the lowest it has been in a YEAR.

Somehow the MSM has failed to note this fact. They seem to also have missed the dramatically lower Iraqi civilian casualty rate, the fact that alQueda is on the run, and the fact that political progress at all levels IS occuring in Iraq.

I guess they've got all their reporters tied up with the O.J. story.
