We Killed Fiddy al Qaeda

Are our soldiers as good as Cotton Hill claims? Apparently, yes. Fifty al Qaeda killed in single raid. AP:

U.S. warplanes launched multiple airstrikes Friday against a suspected "terrorist safe house" in the western Anbar province, destroying the building where up to 50 militants were believed to be hiding, the U.S. military said.

Coalition ground forces were alerted by local residents that a number of members of the terror group Al-Qaida in Iraq had gathered in an abandoned building northeast of Husaybah, near the Syrian border about 200 miles west of Baghdad.

Let's hope that bitch Zarqawi was among them. Hat tip to Chad Evans who notes that this is the second time this week that tips from locals have led to al Qaeda arrests/killings.

4 That is fifty terrorists that we do not have to explain why they are being detained. At what point will the ACLU figure this out and demand that they first have a trial before any bombs are dropped on them. I would think that the activites of the ACLU and others will shift military action from raiding the house and taking prisoners to just sending them back to allah and checking the ashes to see whats left on their hard drive.

5 Bout time we act on information instead of procrastinating and saying geez do you think we should get the people from moveon.org's OK. Or Maybe Cindy Sheehan and her followers should be asked iif it were OK. I say when in doubt shoot them OUT!!

14 50? That's nothin. Wait until the US backs off and the Kurds get their revenge (which you'll notice they've been warming up for). Poor Sunni. Someone told them they'd have an advantage if they refused to participate in forming a representative government and just kept on killing Kurds and Shiites. Maybe they'll start to figure out that their Syrian "friends" are more trouble for THEM than for the US. Not just the Kurds, but even Al-Sistani won't be able to hold back the Shiites forever from striking back. The nerve of the US: trying to facilitate a representative government where the minority is protected. Oh well. Too bad Bush didn't tell everyone to think carefully about who they sign on with. Oh wait, DID he?
