Ah, the Western way of war. Overwhelming is how we fight, when we fight best.

American forces have been close to capturing or killing Mr. Sadr before, but have repeatedly backed off.
Ridiculous. Quit PC-ing the damn war!
[This kind of directive must be coming out Washington, and not in the field command. Surely.]

Damage to the mosque by either side could provoke immense anger among Iraq's 15 million Shiites, and marines and soldiers have been told that the consequences could be catastrophic.If there was any one criticism I have in the war plan, it's the failure to get the Iraqis involved from the start.
These people have way too many shrines that would make them angry if we damaged them, but perhaps if the Iraqis did it themselves, it would be different.

Once again we stop just short of killing off the Terrorists, why am I not surprized. Typical PC BS, and this admin wonders why Americans are getting tired of the crap over there.
To: NCjim
It appears our overwhelming threats aren't resolving this matter. So how about OVERWHELMING FORCE?

Before everyone goes knee jerk and claims we're backing off, lets wait and see what happens. There are a lot of reasons why the attack could be delayed most of which have nothing to do with being nice or backing down.

What does 'this' mean?
The abrupt reversal came after a day of hawkish announcements by American officers here.

A lot of armchair generals are reporting for duty on this thread.
It's a very complicated situation, but I'm confident that the Pentagon and field commanders will make our move at the right time.

They need to get this guy, once and for all. It would greatly improve the Iraqi security situation, and would help reduce oil prices.

Maybe some support groups were not ready .. When you do this kind of operation .. every group has to be ready to go at the same time.

As Bill O'Reilly said, we must fight to win, go in and get him. The aftershocks will only be temporary but Sadr will be permanently dead.
