| Michael Moore Is an Anti-American Filth-Lovin' Swine: Discuss »
July 13, 2004
Good News From IraqI could either just rip off all of Instapundit's links, or simply link his post. It's easier to do the latter. I'll quote this from one of his readers, though: At first I was furious when I heard the news that the decision not to let the Marines have free reign in Fallujah was made by politicians in DC. But now, after seeing what's happening there, it may have been brilliant to leave it for the Iraqis. Public opinion over there seems to be swinging our way big time, as they realize what's actually happening to their country. I think I said some time ago that the quickest and easiest way to turn people against Islamists is to leave them to the the tender mercies of the Islamists. Meanwhile, Iraqis seem to appreciate the anti-crime Dragnet in Baghdad. Now, these are largely just common criminals, not actual terrorists. But certainly there's a broken-window effect of lawlessness that nutures and promotes terrorism, and surely terrorists rely on the criminal infrastructure for securing weapons and explosives and other necessary instruments of terror. Allawi seems to be making a lot of necessary and politically-popular moves. The Kurds are doing their part, too. (Scan to about the middle of the article). In the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, Kurdish security forces captured 15 militants, including a man believed to be a senior leader in a local group linked to al-Qaida, an official in a pro-American Kurdish party said today. Among those arrested late Monday was Hemen Banishiri, reportedly the second-in-command for the radical Kurdish group, Ansar al-Islam, said Saadi Ahmed, a senior member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan's political wing. Iraqi officials have been talking increasingly tough about those who continue to carry out attacks across the country -- even though the 2-week-old Iraqi government has discussed offering a limited amnesty to militants to put down the insurgency. "Terrorism isn't just killing and blowing up bombs, whoever threatens the ordinary life of the people is a terrorist," President Ghazi al-Yawer told a news conference. "We have a very sharp sword ready for anyone who threatens the security of this country." Nice. Not only is it great that terrorists have been captured, but it's better still that they were captured by Iraqi forces. posted by Ace at 04:45 PM
CommentsThe Comissar thinks you're wrong on this one. Posted by: Aaron on July 13, 2004 06:51 PM
Ace, for the love of God: if it's a compound adjective that precedes the word it modifies and the first word ends in an -ly, there's no hyphen.* Quit letting your readers down. * For example, "politically popular" should NOT be hyphenated. Posted by: Josh Martin on July 13, 2004 07:21 PM
Johnny gave me the following memo to pass on as he's currently too busy "talking to people that are worth a shit": "To Josh, Who appointed you the fucking-asswipe hyphen king? Really, if you spent as much time trying to get a date as you do over Ace's grammar, you might get laid sometime soon. And by 'soon' I make the following assumption: There is a fucking nuclear holocaust and the only woman left on earth is a hideously-disfigured-subterranean dwelling-insect grubbing-tree root-sucking-nymphomaniac. Even then she'd probably charge you. Make sure you have something worth trading. Now get a life you pathetic-grammar Nazi, and don't make me regret coming back from the future. Tool. Your Pal, Johnny Coldcuts." Posted by: Johnny Coldcuts Personal Assistant on July 13, 2004 08:39 PM
I'm not so sure who they're capturing. My hunch is that they aren't al Qaeda or they'd be dead instead of captured. Posted by: Jake on July 14, 2004 04:39 PM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
