#1 Now that brings joy to my calloused heart. Makes me think the ME has a future other than green glowing glass with oil wells on it.

Thank you guys.

#2 Obviously these sunnis are trying to score some brownie points.

#3 Looks like security there is good enough that some folks feel safe enough to stick their heads up.

Milestone met?

Quick, someone go tell the Defeatocrats! Don't forget your bullhorn.

#4 I like it! A little ass kissing from them goes a long way in my book. Finally, somebody gets it.

#5 Mr. Yon's newest dispatch really shows how pissed off these people were at AQ and how much these leaders risked their lives and their families lives to fight against AQ. They are getting it.

#6 wx, this is MUCH more than brownie points. Remember, this is al-Anbar province, the heart of the Salafist insurgency in Iraq. They have experienced life under AQI and had their families, neighbors and associates viciously slaughtered by AQI.

Hell, this is more than I can recall from any muslim source since 9-11.

I sure hope some MSM=type posits this quote to the Dhims and asks for a comment. crickets............

#8 I don't think they're attempting to kiss ass. They've lost more civilians to AlQ than we have, and proportionally a _lot_ more. And I don't think feudal cultures do "why do they hate us?"
