More News You May Have Missed

Lisa over at Two Babes must be relying on the MSM...she needed a little buck up speech this morning. Here is another piece of evidence that we're getting things done over in Iraq, but aren't hearing about it here at home from Sky News:
Coalition forces have arrested two alleged leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq, the US military has said.

The two men were identified as Taha Ibrahim Yasin Becher, also known as Abu Fatima, and Hamed Saeed Ismael Mustafa, also known as Abu Shahed.

The men were apparently holding a meeting at the time of their capture.

They are said to have headed the Mosul branch of the terror group, which is led by Abu Musab al Zarqawi.

The group has claimed responsibility for dozens of suicide bombings which have left thousands of people dead.

They have also kidnapped and murdered several Western contractors, including Briton Ken Bigley.
This, in and of itself, is great news...but the real story comes in the last paragraph:
On Thursday, Major General Rick Lynch said security forces had killed 226 militants and captured 757 in recent operations in Mosul and the surrounding area.
Emphasis added.

Quick poll: Did ANYBODY hear that our guys killed 226 and captured 757 last week? ANYBODY???
