“The US military killed Arkan Hasnawi, a senior Mahdi Army Special Groups commander, during a guided rocket strike on a Mahdi Army command and control center situated next to the Sadr Hospital in Sadr City on May 3.”
God forgive me but that kind of news makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.

We and the Iraqi’s seem to be fighting with one hand behind our back. We konw that Iran is backing Mookie’s play. So what is the hold up?
To: Jimmy Valentine's brother
Hold up?
Check your own tag line for half of it; Their buddies in the MSM are the rest.
Once that’s said, I kinda wonder what’s on the agenda after the last of the primaries next week.....
Just sayin’....
To: Tennessean4Bush
“The Iraqi Special Operations Forces captured what Multinational Forces Iraq called a “mid-level Special Groups leader””
Translated: We caught a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leading this group. I hope they boil him in hot oil during his interrogation.
To: Tennessean4Bush
I just want to say (with pride) that my son is in Shula. Action has been very hot for several months - just doesn’t make it into the news much. Shula could just be the last major hot spot to finish up.

Great news. Thanks for the ping.
My friends back in Baghdad tell me that things have quieted down considerably since I left last month. Maybe it will be pretty much nailed down when I get back.

a Mahdi Army command and control center situated next to the Sadr Hospital Locating military complexes in or adjacent to civilian facilities like schools or hospitals is a war crime, isn't it?

Heck, if it gets too quiet in Baghdad, you'll probably head over to Tehran to stir up so turmoil. :-)

Thanks Tennessean4Bush.
The US military has long made distinctions between the Mahdi Army and what it calls Iranian-backed Special Groups... The "rogue element" and "Special Groups" narrative has provided Mahdi Army fighters and commanders a path to lay down their arms and join the political process. Multinational Forces Iraq has refused to categorize the entire Mahdi Army as "irreconcilable elements" to give Mahdi Army fighters this out.

” Iraq Rising “ Very interesting article. Thanks for the ping.
We've got to find a way to keep the Democrats from screwing this up.
