Bingo...
If Al Sader lives past the next few weeks ---- Iraq is doomed to rule by 7th century assholes.
Militant Islam and democracy are mutually exclusive...
If the Iraqi are not willing to rid themselves of anti-coalition militia from internal factions or supported by outside interests --- there will be no peace or democracy in Iraq..
The Islamanazis have not yet been defeated..
Not enough have been killed and not enough "treasured places" have been destroyed...
Where the hell is it written, that the Islamic lunatics can attack our "Icons" destroy our churches and THEIRS is to be protected!!!
That is truly a sign of insanity, that can be quickly corrected by destroying a number of their "treasured icons".. SOON!
Mosques that mean everything to one's religion are not used as military sites or ambush perches...
The behavior of these "holy men" and their militia simply proves that militant Islam is nothing if not a murderous cult...
A whole lot of killing and destruction is going to be required to end the "insurection" of these forces in the entire middle east...
To think otherwise is to be a fool..
Semper Fi
Negotiating with Al Sader is a no-win situation and a foolhardy move. Earlier today, Al Sadar demanded the Iraqi government resign so the Islamofascists could take over Iraq! He has said he will not leave the "holy site" (not!) and that he is going to "fight to the death."
So much for "negotiating" with these animals, in the meantime, there is a cease-fire in place so that Al Sadar can restock and re-supply: same crap, different day.
Mark my words, President Bush WILL LOSE the election if this continues. While Kerry talks about waging a P.S. "sensitive war on terror," the President is practicing it!
If the Iraq government refuses to do what it takes to fight for their own freedom and government after we have shed the blood of our sons and daughters to give it to them, then the administration had better tell the leadership of Iraq that we are pulling our money AND our troops out of Iraq AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Yes I know the place will go to blazes as soon as we are gone, but it looks like their government AND the people there do not care if it does. If they want to live in a 7th century hell hole run by Islamofascists, then let them.
