    Dead Iraqi Would Have Loved Democracy
    PublishedMarch 26, 2003

    BAGHDAD, IRAQ—Baghdad resident Taha Sabri, killed Monday in a U.S. air strike on his city, would have loved the eventual liberation of Iraq and establishment of democracy, had he lived to see it, his grieving widow said.

    "Taha was a wonderful man, a man of peace," his wife Sawssan said. "I just know he would have been happy to see free elections here in Iraq, had that satellite-guided Tomahawk cruise missile not strayed off course and hit our home."

    How about explaining how Obama is an Iranian enabler? Is it because he shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program for 10-15 years or so?

    We should, instead, get our news from the truth-teller Tucker,right?

    Interesting note: MSNBC’s Joy Reid addressed the Gaza situation tonight with video of Beit Hanan. No mention of the terrorist infrastructure there. It was her lead in to three actors who signed a petition for a cease fire, one of whom accused Israel of war crimes. Perhaps Israel abound have left the terror infrastructure and weapons depos alone?

    Agree. I suspect that they're going to end up like the terrorists who murdered members of the Israeli Olympic team in 1972.

    Great idea. But I have no direct line to Hamas. If you do, make the proposal. I was just trying to pass on news that seemed reliable even if unconfirmed as it was from a connected Israeli source

    Meanwhile, here is a comprehensive report from Tyler Rogoway, starting with the military side. I tend to think IDF reports of overwhelming success are reliable because I also follow some sources that trumpet and exaggerate every supposed outcome to the contrary, with all Hamas fighters using Go Pros. They posted two videos earlier this week showing Merkavas supposedly being taken out but it was plain that the explosions were adjacent Trophy intercepts. No post footage of the "destroyed" tank, which they would post if they had it.

    I remain pleasantly surprised. Maybe I shouldn't be, but so far, subject to later confirmation, looks like dominance.

    But war is a only a means to an outcome. What that will be after Hamas is defeated is unclear.

    Looks like many tunnels and access are near and/or under where people congregate.

    That’s where I’d look first. I’d check every public place first.
