Good News from Iraq
Here is some good news from Iraq, where U.S. troops thwarted an attempt to ambush a military convoy in northern Iraq, killed 46 attackers, wounded 18 attackers and captured eight. On our side: five troops wounded, none killed. The attackers were wearing the uniform of the Fedayeen Saddam, one of Saddam's most feared militias, which you can take as evidence the hostilities toward American troops is NOT the result of some growing grassroots insurgency, but merely the last dying gasps of a defeated regime. Members of the Fedayeen have no future in a free, democratic Iraq and they know it, which is why they keep fighting a futile fight.
