One Year Anniversary

Remember how capturing Saddam was going to make everyone safer?

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A suicide car bomber linked to al-Qaida killed 13 people in Baghdad on Monday, the first anniversary of Saddam Hussein's capture, and clashes resumed in Fallujah, a one-time insurgent stronghold that American forces believed they had conquered. Seven Marines died in combat in western Iraq.

I guess you could say they're having a real bash in Mesopotamia.

Of course, Howard Dean was totally out of line when he said Saddam's capture wouldn't make our soldiers safer. In fact, I'll bet the librul media conspired to not run any stories about Iraqis greeting us with flowers and kisses, particularly after the capture of Saddam (now, mind you, none of the kisses proffered by Iraqis on American troops had any homosexual intent). Of course, the world is so much safer too. And it sure is nice to know that Osama's been captured.

(The last paragraph was written to combat an irony deficiency I've been feeling for the last couple of days).
