Jun 15, 6:22 AM (ET) By KIM GAMEL BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's national security adviser said Thursday a "huge treasure" of documents and computer records was seized after the raid on terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hideout, giving the Iraqi government the upper hand in its fight against al-Qaida in Iraq. National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also said he believed the security situation in the country would improve enough to allow a large number of U.S.-led forces to leave Iraq by the end of this year, and a majority to depart by the end of next year. "And maybe the last soldier will leave Iraq by mid-2008," he said. Al-Rubaie said a laptop, flashdrive and other documents were found in the debris after the airstrike that killed the al-Qaida in Iraq leader last week outside Baqouba, and more information has been uncovered in raids of other insurgent hideouts since then. He called it a "huge treasure ... a huge amount of information." When asked how he could be sure the information was authentic, al-Rubaie said "there is nothing more authentic than finding a thumbdrive in his pocket." |

If all the horse hockey the liberal news media prints trying to bring down George Bush (who isn't running in the next election) were thrown out and the words of our soldiers printed about the good things happening in Iraq, what would be the attitude of most people? No, I know I'm not going to change your minds, but consider the fact that the major news sources ( who are dieing as we speak ) only print what is bad news, and if there isn't any bad news, they take another poll to prove the last bad news was true.
