Hurray: Islamic Jihad Declares War on ... Itself
Who says there isn't any good news to report? The Iranian-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad is being wracked by the worst crisis in its 25-year history.
Palestinian sources said the crisis in the "holy" war stemmed from a leadership reshuffle ordered by Iran, Middle East Newsline reports. A shortage of money for terrorists and supporters has exacerbated the resulting infighting, the sources said.
The crisis has led to the resignation of the "spiritual" leader of Jihad, Sheik Abdullah Shami. The 50-year-old resigned from the terrorists' consultative council in protest of a decision to usurp his authority.
"I have decided to resign quietly from the movement in bitterness and pain with hope that the movement will overcome its internal failure," Shami whined in his resignation letter.

Another Democrat Exposes Media's Leftist Bias
One of the most interesting stories reported in the last week: Rep. Jim Marshall, D-Ga., denouncing the media establishment's leftist anti-U.S. bias in reporting the war in Iraq, which he said was endangering the troops' lives.
It turns out Marshall isn't the only one in his party voicing these concerns.
After returning from Baghdad, Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., said: "The media stresses the wounds, the injuries, and the deaths, as they should, but for instance in northern Iraq, Gen. [Dave] Petraeus has 3,100 projects from soccer fields to schools to refineries, all good stuff, and that isn't being reported."
We said it before, and we'll say it again: We're glad not all Dems are like Rep. "Baghdad" Jim McDermott, Sen. Patty "Osama Mama" Murray and "Loony" Cynthia McKinney.
