We shouldn't be surprised by this.

Things could heat up fast in the south. This Al-Sadr Cleric claims a million brainwashed mooooslims as followers.

Prayers all around.

BTW, it is crucial to our enemies in Iraq and elsewhere that GWB be defeated. They are praying for GWB to be defeated and will do anything to make it happen.

I wonder...

Has anyone given consideration to the strategy of stepping back, and allowing the radical lunatics in Sunni/Shia/Kurd warring factions to "have at it" with one another for a few months --- without attempting to pull them apart?

Shouldn't we consider allowing a mini-Civil War within Iraq and let the crazies kill one another until they have been bled white and willing to try OUR PLAN?

It seems there are too many Iraqis with unsatisfied bloodlust -- and SOMEONE will have to kill them, sooner or later..

Better now, than later.....better Muslim lunatic killing Muslim lunatic than Americans.

The US military invited this region wide probing attack, it is a direct response to the lack of a clear retaliation for the Fallujah murders a few days ago. Weakness was shown and now we have a general attempt to push the coalition to see where it cracks. Expect alot more of this type of attack until we violently repress the militias and the Sunni's in Fallujah.
