#1 That'd be 36 thousand pounders, not 38.

#6 AQI claims of "owning" Diyala seem to have been somewhat premature.

#7 Indeed, Mojo. Since they are now a permanent addition to the landscape, one might say that Diyala owns them.

#8 Hmmm, interesting. If we're converting that many jihadis into component parts at one go, it implies we're pretty confident that we have their networks defined, and don't care much about prisoners to interrogate. Works for me!

#11 "Seems like a few of them are escaping to Diyala."

Very few of them. If you look at the numbers, Baghdad killings dropped by 650. During the same time, Diyala's killings "surged" by 60. Bottom line, the escapees are getting fewer and fewer.

Also, hidden in all the gloom and doom is the little gem: "For all December, 23 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq."

It may take a little longer to reach the "Grim Milestone" than the MSM thought.

#12 OTOH, HAARETZ > MUSHARAFF WARNS US NOT TO STRIKE/ATTACK MILITANTS IN PAKISTAN. Anyone that does will "regret the day" they came into Paki mountains.
