I've read the Imams want Sadr out of the way. Maybe sanity is starting to take hold in Iraq. We can only hope so.
well this is very nice of Latif. Maybe we can take up a collection to get him a new fancy Republican Guard red beret.
Wise man. The sooner things are peaceful and stable the sooner our men can come home.
Well maybe that's not such a good idea. The 60 Minutes version would be edited down to the part about the U.S. staying in Iraq for 10 years. The fact of the matter is that the Communist BS Network and their like would not consider this as newsworthy since it doesn't hurt Bush. That is the filter that all news is being processed through these days. We are just going to have to tough it out and get the word out ourselves.
Send this article to 10 friends by e-mail and ask them to do the same.
This raised my eyebrow.
"stop doing stupid things."
The truth is spoken-imagine that. Wonder if the insurgents are smart enough to listen.
The final battles are coming in Iraq.
If this guy, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Latif, can put the lid on Fallujah the Iranian stooge Al-Sadr is next.
Al-Sistani is pressuring Al-Sadr to cut the crap.
I worry far less about the conflicts on the field of battle in Iraq and Afghanistan than the mainstream media, which has proven will stop at nothing, including outright falsehoods, to weaken President Bush and install a Democrat, any Democrat, as president.
With all the stuff going on in the world, today's talking heads filled the air with the prison abuse story, for the 3rd straight week.
And nobody died.
This is big news and a positive development. It is more important what Latif says at this meeting than what he said to some journalists.
Now we have to see it produce some results.
I hope his words are sincere. They sound sincere and that is certainly my hope. Perhaps this man Latif is a real patriot - not like those fanatics who are willing to destroy any hope for Iraq just to give the U.S. a black eye.
datum.
By George, I think he's got it!
To the people who call the Baathists, jihadis, Iranian/Syrian intelligence agents 'the Resistance', I'd just like to ask: What are they resisting?
Pinging good news!
I hope his words have some effect.
