I get a subdued chuckle out of how this article is written with such descriptive language unlike any news article I have read in a long time. I know this is a gravely sad report. I just had to remark...

quotes:
1) Dispatches From Iraq: Stake Through Their Hearts, Killing Al Qaeda
2) The defenders who fired the bullets were killed with honor while standing between evil and their people.
3) yet the attacks bore the mark of the Al Qaeda beast in the way that fangs to a jugular vein spells "Dracula."
4)Al Qaeda is still trying to spin Iraq into civil war, but whereas in 2005-2006 Al Qaeda was succeeding, today Al Qaeda is being shredded.
5) Until recently, such terror attacks inside Iraq could have coerced the village into sheltering Al Qaeda. Yet this time, the "jihadists" got an unexpected reception. Local men grabbed their rifles and poured fire on the demons, slaughtering them.
6) Al Qaeda in Iraq is still fighting, and they are tough and wily,
7)First there is silence and then "VRROOOOMMMM," the [black] Hawk flies right over your head.
Iraq is getting it right!
