Late Final: : Defeating Terrorists In Iraq

Defeating Terrorists In Iraq

There's an old saying in the news business: "You can't write a story every day that says, '2,000 planes landed safely yesterday.'"

But there are more and more "safe landings" in Iraq that might be worthy of attention.

For instance, after weeks and weeks of reporting, prominently, terrorist attacks there, this happened earlier this week with little fanfare from the media:

TERRORIST ATTACKS FOILED BY IRAQI ARMY AND COALTION FORCES
BAGHDAD - An Iraqi Army patrol was fired upon at approximately 3:50 a.m. April 17 in Adhamiyah, a neighborhood in north Baghdad, starting a protracted seven-hour firefight that raged through to the early afternoon...

...During the course of the fight, five terrorists were killed and seven detained. Reports indicate two Iraqi Army Soldiers have been wounded.

It's looking more and more like Iraq is where terrorists go to die.

Actually, it looks like Iraq is where George W's political career is going to die.

It would be a dying political career, had there been further terror attacks on U.S. soil following 9/11, but there hasn't been any. With 2 and a half years left in his term, it's a little early to count him out.
