The so-called Army of Ansar al-Sunna said they have ambushed a foreign security convoy near a U.S. base in western Iraq and captured a Japanese citizen. A picture of the man's passport posted on the Internet gave his name as Akihiko Saito, aged 44. Japanese Defense Minister Yoshinori Ohno said the kidnapping would not affect the deployment of Japanese troops in Samawa. Both Australia and Japan have repeatedly said they will not bow to the demands of kidnappers. Besides Saito, six Japanese have been taken hostage in Iraq. Five were released but Shosei Koda, a backpacker, was beheaded by his captors last year. Yes, that's right - a big milestone for this "army" was to behead a backpacker. Real tough guys, huh?Despite the name, Army of Ansar al-Sunna, they are not a real army. The most base definition of an army is: A large body of people organized and trained for land warfare - but warfare, again by definition, is a combat between armed forces. This radical Islamic group is too cowardly to engage in armed conflict and their tactics are to terrorize mostly unarmed civilians (like a backpacker). These are defective humans that need to be killed and their corpses thrown into trash crushers. Now am I blunt or what!
So I wake to news this morning: BAGHDAD -- American troops backed by helicopters and warplanes launched a major offensive against followers of Iraq's most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab Zarqawi, in a desert area near the Syrian border, leaving as many as 100 militants dead, U.S. officials said yesterday.
100 less evil worthless scum to threaten innocent people. Ahhh - it's a good day and the shadow does know!

One of the problems the US is going to have in the near future is defining what their mission really is It always has been to irradicate terrorists, the countries that support terrorists, that provide safe haven for terrorists, etc. Yes, there are more countries out there besides Iraq, and even some we appear to be friendly with on the surface - but I do think there is a stratagy so don't listen to Kennedy's viewpoint on this topic.
Yes, I agree the protection of our troops and the equipment they have is in some sad shape. But equipment doesn't happen overnight and they are slowly coming up to speed. Perhaps if the 8 years of Clinton would have been more productive instead of constant cutbacks...
