BETTER AND BETTER:

Iraqi Militia Agrees to Hand Over Weapons (Greg LaMotte, 09 Oct 2004, VOA News)

Members of a militia group in Baghdad's impoverished area of Sadr City have agreed to give up their fight against Iraqi and coalition forces and lay down their weapons. The militants will start handing their weapons over to Iraqi police within 48 hours.

According to senior interim Iraqi government officials, Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi militia will begin voluntarily handing over medium and heavy weapons to Iraqi police beginning Monday. The militia will also hand over control of Sadr City streets to Iraqi police.


Conditions in Iraq continue to improve rapidly.

Orrin,
If Bush wins the election and then pulls off this escapade of freedom and democracy for Iraq, can you imagine the distress that the MSM will have?

Sure I can, lived through the Reagan years and the fall of the Wall.

So did I. The MSM tied themselves up into some truly memorable knots during those astounding 1989-1991 years.

The best is their insistence that Gorbachev set out to destroy the USSR and its empire and that Reagan was a lucky by-stander..
