Abu Sayyaf

A small victory in the war on terrorism in the Philippines today (something you may not hear in the main media streams which will mainly be making the Rice testimony look bad).

According to AlJazeera.com, one of the leaders of Abu Sayyaf was killed today. I'm assuming it was by U.S. trained, anti-terrorism soldiers:

The armed forces in the Philippines say they have killed one of the five leading members of Abu Sayyaf group.

Hamsiraji Sali, one of five Abu Sayyaf leaders wanted by Washington for the deaths of two American hostages, was among the six killed by a Scout Ranger platoon in Basilan's Isabela town, military spokesman Lt. Col. Daniel Lucero said.

Condi Rice didn't need any help to look pretty bad today. No CEO or head coach in the land would accept any one of her pitiful excuses for abject failure to get a job done, much less so many.

TTL, you are so right on this one. The super republicans should have done in 8 months what the democrats could not do in 8 years. She is a failure for that reason only, thus making the democrats an even bigger failure.
Oops! Democrats don't fail, they just lay the blame on someone else, like Mrs. Rice.
