GOOD NEWS!!!

Ol' Zarqawi was killed in an airstrike by Coalition forces.

Happy day!

Defense Industry Daily
The good folks at BAE Systems continue to support the military. They're working on producing specialized vehicles for IED clearing teams. These trucks are designed with the expectation that they will be hit by IEDs and provide impressive protection against them.

FoxNews
On top of killing Zarqawi, today the Iraqi Prime Minister also named the heads for the Ministries of Interior and Defense. That's like President Bush naming Condaleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld to their positions.

This is BIG.
