Today's good news from Iraq

An Al Qaeda leader is killed: "The U.S. military in Iraq has killed a senior leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq who was responsible for bringing foreign fighters into the country and kidnapping U.S. soldiers in 2006, an Army general announced today. The senior leader, a native of Tunisia who goes by the pseudonym Abu Usama al-Tunisi, was killed in an air strike Tuesday by a U.S. Air Force F-16 jet as part of a series of raids on the al-Qaeda in Iraq network, Army Brig. Gen. Joseph Anderson, chief of staff for Multinational Corps Iraq, told a Pentagon briefing. "

And by the way, statistics now show that the U.S., dating back to 2003, has killed over 19,000 terrorist insurgents in Iraq. That's 19,000 fanatics who can no longer kill American men, women, and children.
