#2 Chuck Simmins: If unconfirmed by the military, can you add a category for 'unconfirmed dead terrorists'? I like big numbers!

#4 They're only reporting 55 killed. The rest were arrested.

Do you suppose the foreigners get some extra special attention?

#5 "Use the Craftsman pliers, Abu. They're rust resistant."

haha reminds me of my CDT teacher at school (yes i can still remember back that far) , first lesson in woodwork , never cut yourself and bleed on the tools , they rust ! those words echoed in my mind for years , and I have always been an adoring father of my toolkit

#6 These numbers seem to only represent those killed and arrested by the Iraqi police (national and local), and thus would not incorporate those taken by the Iraqi Army or Coalition forces.
Of course, a lot or the arrested or killed may have been innocent - or just 'guilty of being Sunni', given the history of the Interor department.

#7 Didn't they threaten recently that they had 10,000 ready, willing and able suicide bombers waiting at the helms?

Arresting/killing over 500 of these goons per week gets us on the fast track to taking down that number and quickly. Well, in only 20 weeks, we'll be outta there (/Donk bean counter)
