An Iraqi Speaks

The most-wanted terrorist in Iraq is dead. Over at the Iraq the Model blog, run by two brothers Omar and Mohammed, they are pleased he is gone.

I was struck by one of the comments, which was left by "hameed Abid":

Dear Omar and Mohammed

Well done the Americans and the Iraqi people who gave the competent Authorities where he and his henchmen reside and operate.

HibHib is a sunny area and this show how the decent and nationalsit Iraqis care about peaceful and tolerant Iraq of the future.Let those who harbour, support, finance, logistically assist and help those killers of our good Iraqi people learn theri lessons and remember, how long it might take the long arm of the Law will reach and get rid of them.

As for the supporters who love to see Iraqi democracy and freedom fail or falter, keep you mouths shut, engage your pens and soundbites when you know what you are talking about.

Evil will be defeated whoever is deals in it.

My sincere amirations and thanks for the American Airforce pilots who had carried out this surgical strike without a great deal of collatoral damage to the area. Soldiers, we (the silent majority of Iraqis) are all very proud of you.

We thank your good US mothers for you. They should be very proud of you all.

Gen Casy thank you Sir and your staff too.

As they say Down Under, "good on ya" all.
