Sheik, Rattle and Roll

This is excellent news, unless you're John Kerry. With friends like Sheik Haj Ibrahim Jassam, who needs the French? You paying attention, Senator? I got your legitimate coalition right here, asshole.

(also known as fanatical Islamic terrorist scumbags)

inside to flee, freeing four Jordanian truck drivers held captive, local officials said Wednesday.

Sheik Haj Ibrahim Jassam, a tribal leader, said he received word late Tuesday that the men were being held in a house on the edge of the city. Local leaders gathered together armed residents, who raided the house, freeing the hostages and chasing out the kidnappers, he said.

You can bet your ass these Iraqi residents armed with actual assault rifles too, not just scary looking "military-style" rifles. You know, the kind that Kerry and his rabid gun control zealots keep telling us have NO purpose other than hunting down and killing as many innocent people as quickly as possible.

Any predictions on the amount of airtime the lamestream media will devote to this story. Let's see...reflects favorably on Bush's foreign policy, so I'm going with "diddley squat" this time around.
