Al Sadr's men shoot the unarmed demonstrators... And one of Al Sadr's supporters blames us.
I think they did this on purpose.

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani probably wishes he hadn't come back.
To: blam
"It is all Sistani's fault," said Ali Mizahim. "He told us to come here and he betrayed us again." Fool me once; shame on you....
These people are simply too stupid to be pulled out of the 12th century. How about simply building a 100 ft. wall around the entire country, then filling it full of water.

At least fill it up with a couple of feet of water then throw in a few million bars of soap.

Wait, this is all part of a "grand plan."
How dare you question the military commanders who are on the ground, you armchair General?

Hate your tag line. You have a right to your opinion, but I don't have to like it.

Misleading thread title alert! I thought this was going to be about the U.S. "Dream Team".

We should have taken the gloves off with Al Sadr long ago.

There is never any lack of defenders of those who sign laws gutting the First Amendment, then threaten to sue those who criticize them, which is EXACTLY what Bush has done.

I defend Bush for alot of things. CFR and it's aftershocks ain't one of 'em.
I'm just weary of all the one-issue one percenters we got floating around here. I hear enough Bush-bashing elsewhere. This is supposed to be a something of refuge. I apologise for lumping you in with those types.
I'd venture that the 1992 election had two candidates who were far worse.
1996 didn't have much to offer. Where the heck was the Bob Dole we heard from on Sunday then?

There is a poll on FR and last I saw 91% was opposed to CFR. I'm glad you recognize that criticizing Bush on CFR does not necessarily make one a "one percenter."
In fact, those who defend him on CFR are in the very small minority around here.

You can make your point with one reply. Pushing your agenda on others grows old for those of us reading the rest of the replies.
