In six days, Iraqis go to the polls to 1) democratically elect a new government and 2) flip Osama bin Laden the bird.

So far, in the week ahead of the vote, coalition troops have picked off at least 100 insurgents:

FORTY-TWO SUSPECTED INSURGENTS DETAINED IN MOSUL AREA

U.S. FORCES DETAIN 59 SUSPECTS IN AL ANBAR PROVINCE

What do you call 101 terrorists in chains? Answer: A good start.
