Some Good News...
...because we need some.
From the AP:
Hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi forces backed by helicopters and jet fighters killed 33 Sunni insurgents who were holding back the water supply to the Shiite town of Khalis, the American command said Tuesday.
To say "asking for it" is an understatement. Sometimes, the utter stupidity of these insurgents astounds me. I can't think of any better way to provoke an attack than to shut down a city's water supply. They deserve exactly what happened to them.
It doesn't say where this attack happened, but Khalis is about 40 miles north of Baghdad and surrounded by Sunni territory. The Sunnis should actually thank the Americans for this; what do they think their fate would have been if the Americans weren't in the country, and the Muqtada Militia or the Shia-dominated Iraqi Security forces captured them instead?
