Is Bagdad Bob Back???
Small shrapnel wound in the chest.
Good aim..not deep enuf!
Oh, so we are in fact not suspending operations against Sadr and are not negotiating with him?
It doesn't take a military genius to know appeasing terrorists doesn't work, which is what we have been doing for months and appear to be doing so again right now.
If you have any information contrary to that, please feel free to post it.
If you saw him last night in the belly of the beast, Larry King Alive, you'd realize he still has em.
Obviously he has a serious head wound.
I don't, but that doesn't mean I have to trust the french AFP either.
I will trust the Military commanders, not so called experts punching away from their keyboards from 8,000 miles away.
This is outrageous! We need to take this guy down or get out
of Iraq. If we were to agree, it's Fallujah all over again.
Don't disagree with him. If you do, he will designate you insane.
If anyone in the Iraqi govt. or U.S. military even thinks for 2 seconds about agreeing to this, they should be shot on the spot.
Sadr is in no position to be "setting conditions". The conditions should be "you all come out of the shrine with your hands up". That's it.

Agreed. This big fat liar also declared a cease fire some weeks back so that he could get more weapons and terrorists in place for the next onslaught.
A great parking lot.
Had a disagreement with a kid, when I was but a child. He proceeded to pummel me, thoroughly (I my defense, he was older and much bigger:-). In an attempt to stop the beating, I propsed a solution. To this my nemisis answered, "You don't have a say in this, anymore". That's a lesson that has stuck with me, and one I hope the CPA, and military leaders take to heart.
Did he apply for his complimentary Purple Heart?
So, you think the military commanders are the ones making the decision to appease Sadr...
Do you think the "military commanders" who refused to bomb routes along the Yalu river in Korea, because we would anger the Chinese, were right as well?
What about the "Military commanders" who refused to bomb North Vietnamese harbors, because we would anger the Soviets? Were they right as well?
Maybe you think the "Military commanders" who suspended Desert Storm right as our troops were headed for Baghdad, because we might anger the Arabs, were right as well?
I guess since it is a "military commander" making the decision to appease Sadr and his army, it MUST be the right decision!
Never question authority!
The FreeRepublic French refer to you as a keyboard armchair commando, not as a DU Troll.
Don't be surprised when Jesse Jackson (or Jimmy Carter) shows up on the scene....
That's an intelligent approach.
There is nothing quite as impressive on this forum as anonymous cyber-hardasses engaged in a game of "kill them all" one upsmanship.
Freeper LS refered to me as a DU troll, for suggesting Sadr should be killed.
Now, I am an "armchair commando" according to you and others, because I suggest Sadr should be killed.
If suggesting Sadr should be killed makes me an "armchair commander," what does suggesting Osama should be killed make me? An Armchair General? An Armchair President?
In ANY tactical situation whether it be a police raid or a military battle, the preferred final solution is one that achieves your goals while minimizing violence. Almost every major battle in history has paused before the final climax to offer the side about to be defeated an opportunity to surrender. I'd advise everyone to wait a while before they leap to conclusions. Nobody outside of the Iraqi leadership really knows what's going on in Iraq.
Level that Mosque and KILL SADR!
