It may have been significant, but it doesn't change the fact that al Qaeda was
never in Iraq in the first place. We're kind of back to where we started,
minus some. I hear al Qaeda now is pushing for a war between the U.S. and Iran
(plain old CNN).
Just want to mention that when I said to Omar that he has no right to
complain about extensive gun ownership in the U.S. because the other side is
doing the same thing without guns, it was a statement of inclusion. I even
said birds of a feather. Before we can change anything we have to accept that
the only thing that changes is the excuse and the means, never the underlying
reason. In other words, the human race is all the same, nobody's right,
everybody's wrong. Well, almost everybody, but I'll live without your approval
so feel free not to give any.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- American and Iraqi forces have carried
out 452 raids since last week's killing of terrorist leader
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed during
those actions, the U.S. military said Thursday.
Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in
Baghdad, said the raids were carried out nationwide and led
to the discovery of 28 significant arms caches.
He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143
were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also
resulted in the captures of 759 "anti-Iraqi elements."

Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffaq al-Rubaie, said
the killing of Zarqawi marked the "beginning of the end" of
al-Qaeda in Iraq.
He said documents seized after the raid that killed Zarqawi
had given coalition forces "the upper hand".
