mara. Shiite rebels from the Mehdi’s Army of radical clerik Muqtada Sadr have captured the central prison in the city of Amara, South Iraq, and released all prisoners, News Ru announced, referring to the Qatar information agency. According to witnesses, the Shiite rebels opened fire at local police, guarding the building of the prison and then they entered inside. Among the released prisoners there were detainees accused of using arms against coalition forces and the police, RIA Novosti announced.
It is so time for the interim government to slap down the insurgents. No more second chances. Kill them all and deal with the consequences afterward.
Label it for what it is, a rebellion against the interests of the people.
Hmmmm.... I wonder what Saddam Hussein would have done.
We need someone to be ruthless over there. Preferably an Iraqi muslim.
Unfortunately, we can't trust anyone to take power and give it back to the people in an election.
