    nearly 60

    Sounds like the writer was hoping for more.

    U.S. soldiers backed by an airstrike killed six militants after a gun battle broke out...

    ... American troops killed four militants who fired rocket-propelled grenades at a tank elsewhere in the area.

    AP is starting to report "militant" kills near the end of their articles. This is another sign of progress in Iraq. It won't be long before the MSM will be forced to use enemy kill figures in their headlines.

    Too bad Hawaii does not have the death penalty. The 50th state does have life without parole so Kirk Matthew Lankford will be free to kill again (and again!) albeit within the confines of a prison or mental institution.

    Extradite.

    It would be nice to know the source of this article (Kyodo, etc.).

    “I don’t believe that the SOFA should be revised,” Rice said. “I think that we can continue to improve it operationally as we move forward and have it continue to be relevant without changing the basic document itself.”

    Revision unnecessary. Japan can hang a U.S. military member just as easily as they can an Engrish teacher, "entertainer" or illegal 3K day laborer.

    after a string of incidents

    Nice try, (Wire reports). Let's have a count from 1995.

    This is just another PR show.

    And I'll bet it works. Looks like Wal-Mart pulled one over on Mayor Bloomberg.

    Fifty-nine percent did not believe stricter guns laws would help prevent future shootings.

    Statistically, shooters absolutely love a "gun free zone" like on a campus, a shopping mall, etc. The VT incident probably either would have not happened or would not have been as deadly with some students authorized concealed carry.

    Lt Gen Mohan al-Fireji, who commands government forces in the city, said the two-day operation had netted arms, roadside bombs and drugs.

    As was other months, April is also turning out to be a bad month for terrorists/criminals/MSM freedom fighters in Iraq.

    Looks like at least 66 dead baddies from these news reports. That does not include the captures which are much more numerous.

    It's been even bloodier for the MSM's "freedom fighters."

    Sadrist officials told The Associated Press they had received orders from their headquarters in Najaf to avoid confrontations with Iraqi and U.S. forces unless the Americans try to move deep into Sadr City, which has been under siege for two weeks.

    American Scrubs 200 Flights, Plans for Full Schedule Tomorrow By Mary Schlangenstein

    April 12 (Bloomberg) -- AMR Corp.'s American Airlines canceled 200 flights today and predicted a return to a full schedule tomorrow as it worked to complete wiring inspections and repairs on its Boeing Co. Boeing Co. jets.

    MSM must be crying an ocean by now.

    If I was a dyed-in-the-wool socialist running for the U.S. presidency, well, yeah, I'd give this angle a shot.

    Get smart: It's the white males who will chose the next president. Period.

    The occupiers will not rest in our land as long as I am alive.

    Speak Persian?

    Riyadh al-Nouri, director of al-Sadr’s office in Najaf, was gunned down by an unknown number assailants near his home after returning from prayer services, police and Sadrist officials said.

    al-Nouri was gunned down by law-abiding, freedom-loving Iraqis. Mookie, my man, it looks like this puts one less person between you and the morgue.

    Correction.

    Last month, the FAA fined Southwest $10.2 million for flying planes that missed inspections, and it understandably got the attention of politicians and other carriers. But it's worth keeping in mind that the airline industry is largely self-regulating, a system that works because airlines have every incentive to be safe. The economic costs of an accident have been known to put airlines out of business. It's no wonder that maintenance-related commercial plane crashes in the U.S. are almost unheard of. [...] "The impression in the press is that the airlines aren't meeting high FAA standards," says Clifford Winston, who follows the industry at the Brookings Institution. "But that's ridiculous. It's the airlines who teach the FAA about these aircraft and what has to be done to maintain them."

    Are there unscrupulous homeowners?

    Many of the people who took the loans were buying and flipping the real estate. When things went sour some said, "Go ahead and foreclose. I made mine."

    So we can sympathize with losers who lived beyond their means:

    ABC has been erratic with its stories involving consumer debt. According to a Business & Media Institute study, "Debt: Who’$ Responsible?” ABC News was subpar when it came to the issue of personal responsibility. A segment from March 2006 downplayed the role of the consumer in taking on financial obligations.

    Nationwide, about 2.76 million, or 6%, of home loans were delinquent and about 920,000, or 2%, were in foreclosure at the end of last year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

    94% of home loans were not delinquent and of that 98% were not in foreclosure. But so what?

    When thousands of borrowers started defaulting on mortgages, the networks attacked lenders, ignored the responsibilities of consumers for their own debts and made it appear that the American dream itself was coming to an end.

     “We call it the American nightmare,” homeowner Amy Wood told ABC “World News with Charles Gibson” on March 26. That phrase summed up more than nine months of network coverage of debt.

 That story about rising foreclosures in Concord, N.C., attacked lenders and virtually ignored the idea that borrowers might have some personal responsibility for their own mistakes. It was the first part of a series ABC entitled “The Home Wreckers.”

 Anchor Charles Gibson blamed lenders’ “creative financing” and reporter Steve Osunsami claimed homeowners were “talked into purchasing” homes with “little or no money down” and low interest rates.

 “Their American dream is over,” Charlotte Observer reporter Binyamin Appelbaum told ABC’s “World News with Charles Gibson.” That was a common theme for the network, which blamed lenders four times as often as borrowers (20 to 5) for debt and ignored the issue of personal responsibility in two-thirds of its stories.
