Two more bite the dust....

Well - another to leaders of the insurgency in Iraq have bought the farm.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/...ex.html?hpt=T2

Its funny - CNN makes it appear as mainly a US operation - while Fox quotes Biden as giving the majority of credit to the Iraqi Security Forces - both in the intel and execution.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/04...m-maliki-says/

Either way - I will say I ain't sorry to see this happen.

Oh - and I have it on good authority that those 70 virgins they were expecting - apparently are not in heaven since they are too busy causing earthquakes in Iran.....

Sadly, as the first of his 70 virgins filed in the door, Reece realized they were not exactly what he'd been expecting.

Lemme guess, these were the usual "Number two" of AQI that were killed, right?

Funny we never seem to kill the number 3 or 4 guy, always the number 2.
