IRAQ FRONT UPDATE: Coalition forces have launched "Operation Church" in Diyala province, aimed at clearing out insurgents blocking the water supply through the Khalis spillway. At last word, troops in this operation had killed 33 terrorists, captured three others, seized three weapons caches, and restored water flow to the town. On Friday, BG Joseph Anderson let us know that Abu Usama Al-Tunisi, a senior Al Qaeda operative, was killed by a U.S. Airstrike earlier in the week. Al-Tunisi was the leader of a terrorist cell that kidnapped and murdered two American soldiers in June 2006. We can all hope the overpressure that burst his eardrums was extremely painful.

AGHAN BOMBING: A suicide bomber disguised in an Afghan Army uniform blew himself up Saturday on a military bus in Kabul, killing 28 soldiers and 2 civilians. The Taliban are resorting more and more to this sort of desperate attack. A suicide bomber on (of all things) a motorized rickshaw struck September 10 in Helmand province, killing 28 people, including 13 Afghan cops. Each time the Taliban mass to engage coalition forces, they are destroyed, so suicide bombing is their only means of inflicting significant casualties.

LETHAL INJECTION UNDER SCRUTINY: The Supreme Court is reviewing an appeal by two Kentucky death row inmates asserting that the three drug cocktail used in lethal injections inflicts enough suffering to be classified as cruel and unusual punishment. On Thursday, an inmate in Alabama and another in Texas were granted reprieves believed to be directly related to the Kentucky appeal. Let's review: shooting, hanging, electrocution, and gassing are all cruel and unusual, according to the Supremes. Now they will decide if lethal injection fits into the same category. The Court should thunderously reject this frivilous attempt to delay justice. It's time the American tradition of hanging be brought back into use, especially for child molestors. Most death sentences are really death row sentences, thanks to endless appeals. Far fewer children would be assaulted and traumatized for life if the death penalty were mercilessly applied to molestors for the very first offense. How many times do we need to hear about a child raped or killed by someone already convicted of assaulting children?

IRAN ACTION DELAYED: The big players at the United Nations have agreed to delay until November any possible sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. This comes just days after Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad declared the issue "over" in a speech at the U.N. itself. On Saturday the Iranian parliament enacted a measure labeling the CIA and U.S. Army as terrorist organizations. This is likely a response to a Senate resolution last week designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist entity, marking the first time part of a foreign military has been so named. The United Nations will delay and delay until it's too late: the centrifuges in Iran are spinning right along without any delay. As always, we should not entrust American national security to a corrupt and feckless bureaucracy like the Security Council.

SUCCESSFUL STAR WARS TEST: A target missile launched from Kodiak Island in Alaska at 0400 hours Friday was struck and destroyed by an interceptor launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The successful strike was a test of the system planned for deployment to Eastern Europe. A radar site in the Czech Republic and 10 interceptor missile in Poland should be in place by 2013, the Missile Defense Agency reports.

SHUT UP HIPPY: Angelina Jolie, speaking (where else) at a Slick Willie led "Clinton Global Initiave" conference, urged the world to get its "priorities in order". Jolie insisted that an entire UNICEF appeal "equals about eight hours of current spending in Iraq". Well, Ms. Jolie, maybe one day we won't need a military to keep the wolves at bay, but that's not today. We can't help anyone if our nation is destroyed. Perhaps she should consider adopting an AMERICAN child next time to bring a little balance. For assinine and naive comments, Angelina Jolie: SHUT UP HIPPY. I still can't believe anyone would leave Americas sweetheart Jennifer Aniston for THAT.
