One small step for some Iraqis....

   ....one [1]giant leap for all of Iraq.

     An Iraqi Army patrol thwarted an ambush by a group of armed
     insurgents in western Baghdad Jan. 17.
     While conducting a routine patrol in Baghdad's Fahhama
     neighborhood, an element of the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 6th
     Iraqi Army was ambushed by a group of insurgents armed with pistols
     and AK-47s. The patrol immediately returned fire on the men
     attacking them.
     Two insurgents were killed and four others wounded in the fire
     fight. After treating their wounds, the four wounded insurgents
     were taken into custody.

   The media wants you to think that Iraqis run away from a fight, that
   they don't want democracy and freedom, that they support the
   terrorists.
   Apparently not all of them fit the media's model.
   In [2]other news American troops entered the Sudanese embassy in
   Baghdad, searching for "insurgents". It appears the President was
   serious about no place being off limits.
