Military operations continue in Iraq, with reduced notice of American casualties. Could it be that their aren't many? I watched video last night of American forces attacking a mosque in Karbala, with nary a peep from the local Muslims. Fox News has a report.

It appears the Shi'ites have turned on the young thug al-Sadr, and are allowing us to hunt down his militia and exterminate them. So what is the New York Times reporting today? Here are the top headlines on its website:

Apparently, "all the news that's fit to print" excludes American military success.
