Getting Tough
This morning, Kevin at Wizbang noted that the insurgents in Falujah are starting to turn against the foreign fighters within the city.
Now this:
Iraq's interim prime minister on Wednesday threatened military action against the main insurgent stronghold of Fallujah if residents don't hand over Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.It appears that things might be on the way to normalcy in Iraq. Or even better than normal - at least for those who would consider life under Saddam as normal. (Yeah, right.)

Does it sometimes feel like nations spend entirely too much time issuing ultimatums and making threats? These terrorists certainly don’t warn us before they hit us. It seems like if action is wanted action should be taken.

I agree with your sentiment, but this particular one thrilled me. Up to now, the Iraqi government has been rather timid. I think the changing climate along with the continued increase in their own troops has led them to be more bold and effective in dealing with the insurgents.
Would be nice if this would help encourage someone to claim the al-Zarqawi reward.
