The US military is fighting like they care more about a how they are thought about, then if they win. We obviously have the power to put these people down. If they take out a car, that area needs to be razed. That type of response, regardless of Iraqi casualties, must continue until the iraqis learn there are rules of modern society. We need to start sacrificing Iraqi lives, not US servicemen, we need to start to use our advantage of weapons, not our men.
Let's see if the other Shi'ite clerics will step up to condemn the violence and proclaim the coalition as being helpful to Iraq and the Iraqi people.
Don't count on it though.

I didn't mean to imply a cut and run suggestion on your part. Thanks for the comments.

Elsewhere Sunday, supporters of an anti-U.S. Shiite Muslim cleric waged violent demonstrations in four Iraqi citiesFour Iraqi cities?
How can that be. I was told just yesterday, on this forum, that only one Iraqi city was a problem.

We can't spend the rest of the century tiptoeing through the tulips of Islamic insanity.
I couldn't agree more.

Could you add the "at least 24 additional wounded" to title?

I agree with your comments here. Further, I would hope that we or Iraqi nationals are securing their borders. Entry should be limited to commercial shipping only for the time being. Those who try to do end runs should be eliminated.

I have advocated from the start, a complete disarming of the Iraqi populace in preparation for a lasting peace there. A number of people opposed this saying it was impossible. We have no right to take away the ability of Iraqis to defend themselves with weapons. We wouldn't tolerate it if we were occupied, would we?

It's time to quit playing games with this scum and burn the Sunni Triangle to the ground.

I agree with your comments. Thanks.
Wasn't it Al-Sadr who was saying that the US was responsible for the terrorist bombings of Shi'ites on their holiest holoday back on March 2? It killed around 160 Iraqis.
To: yonif
Why didn't the Islamic world look at Afghanistan as a war to take up on?
Too many weapons around Iraq left for the terrorists.
The coalition has destroyed about 180 million tons of munitions following the end of the war. 600-800 million tons are estimated to be in Iraq before the war started.
To: LdSentinal
The Islamic world has always been at war with us through terrorism even before the US went into Afghanistan, and it would have continued to be at war with us even if the US didn't go into Afghanistan or Iraq. Militant Islam is at war with all non-Muslims. We have not yet realized it.

Is this the Islamofacists equivalent to the "Battle of the Bulge"? One last desperate push to weaken and split the allies?
The enemy always fights the most desperate at the end.

Well, we have to outlaw islam. Any other solution is simply window dressing -- except, perhaps my favorite plan: Sealing off all muslims who are out of infancy on reservations, and raising the babies as English speaking Christians who revere our Founding Fathers. Killing them all is out of the question as it would wreck havoc on our conscience.
Reservations or an outright ban on islam? Which will we opt for when we finally come to our senses?

Open Letter to Iraq:
Where are your patriots? Your Washington's, Jefferson's, Franklin's? Where are your masses yearning to be free? Or can you only be happy suckling at the breast of the Mullahs and Murderers?
Why do you look for a Strong leader to submit your will to? Why can't you seize the moment? Is it because you are weak of mind and will? Perhaps you do not deserve Democracy at all. You are surely not worthy of our blood. Maybe it is genetic that you are not responsible or mature enough for freedom.
Maybe you are truly an inferior race of peoples. You have had centuries to become civilized yet you are still ignorant, barbaric thugs. You show no restraint for your passion and exercise no self control, no common sense, nor morals, no respect for the rule of law. My vote is to kill you before you kill us. Damn the politics.
I would arrest your young punk cleric and put him in a cell with Sadam. Then I would gun the rest of your restistance down like the rabid piece of dog garbage that you are. I would hand the country over to the Kurds and let them sort you out. Give them the billions of aid money and let them distribute it as they see fit. I say to hell with you.
It will come down to what we all suspected all along, The West verses Islam. Foxes and hens, lions and lambs cannot be friends and it is a foolish endeavor to try. Everyone with any foresight knows it is coming, this clash between Islam and the rest of us. Why do we pretend it is not? We have tried to be your best friend, we should now try to be your very best enemy.
To: Mo1
I just heard......Sadr needs to die.
NBC reported his people are handing out weapons and telling people to kill Americans.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
