I was saying same thing to my friends. I am not sure many believed me if any. But the back of AQ is broken and stories like this give Iraqis hope. Without hope they were doomed. But after the soccer win and Baqubah I feel this is what Iraqis need is the hope and to see AQ are not almighty or to be feared. AQ is to be chased out like the snake it is. I hope that hollywood starts making movies about people like Tonto. Then the people will feel very strong.

It is good to see everyone working together now to eradicate the terrorists that have brutalized the Iraqi people and people in many other nations for many generations. They will not be allowed to continue to terrorize the civilized world.

If this man's assertions turn out to have any truth to them, then this will have been one of the greatest victories ever won in Iraq. Too bad the mainstream media dropped the ball.

If there were 10 more guys in Iraq covering the story as good as Michael, the rest of America might have a better perspective on the whole thing.
