Great! This will surely be the thing that tips the balance in Iraq. Just like killing al-Zarqawi largely eliminated the violence last June. And of course there was the capture of Saddam. And before that the deaths of his sons. I'm surprised there is anyone left fighting after such great victories.

Of course, the Iraqi Interior Ministry is not, shall we say, the most reliable source of news. These are, after all, the same folks who have claimed that sectarian killings in Baghdad are a myth.

But all in all it's just more evidence of "Mission Accomplished."
