Muqtada Sadr needs to be killed.

He should have been killed months ago.

this is the problem with arabs, you get these loose alliances all the time between faction a and faction b. the iraqi govt is hoping to play a game of we leave you alone, you leave us alone...the reality is that they should have let the 101st (as i recall) nail them 2 years ago when he was holed up in that mosque...

Hmmm. Brings to mind the Israeli actions of demolishing the homes of the families of the terrorists.

Can we simply "Doze" Sad'r City and remove the terrorist's home.

Al-Sadr and his army of retards should have been killed in March of 2003. Instead, we let this subhuman wart live. He started with about 600 buys. Now he has about 15,000.

This is the price we pay for PC warfare.

The US Administration INSISTS on keeping this bearded pile of sheep squat alive. He and his minions have OPENLY called for resistance to our forces. He is responsible for the deaths of HUNDREDS of our soldiers. We know where he is and what he is doing... AND WE DO NOTHING.

THE REASON AL-SADR IS A PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WE ALLOW HIM TO BE A PROBLEM... WE ***ALLOW** HIM TO KILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

Political Correctness is our State Religion.

I will take you up on that bet.

In Sadr City we have seen the creation of an Iranian/Hezbollah sanctuary. Fallujah was a Baathist/al-Qaeda sanctuary.

Over the past two years we have bashed down the Sunni terrorists deciently, but at the same time the US ignored the growing Shia terrorist threat until it blew up reciently.

At least a year ago.

Setup check points around the city and then declare that the people have 24 hours to pack up their things and move out. Then level the city.

Right on all counts.

Malaki and his gang need to get the word: If Saddam hangs and that rat-bas Sadr fries, we leave. Not a day sooner.

But we can't listen to you, because you don't have a degree from Harvard, and we don't pay you $300,000 a year. I mean common sense costs a lot of money. And besides, you need a manicure and a day in the hair salon for the photo op.

President Bush could fire 90% of his staff, log on to FR everyday for a couple of hours, and get 10 times better advice, and save the country tons of money.

without Saddam, Bagdad is just another bend in the river.

Sadr City should be depopulated.
encourage people to return to where they, sunni, Shia, etc,
are a majority.

The Iraqi Prime Minister doesn't want us to do shi'ite about Sadr City.

So why don't we withdraw a majority of our forces and build a superbase in Kurdistan? We should just protect Green Zone but leave rest of Iraq alone.

After all violence is just how those Arabs do "politics".

Because, you are giving the Western Iraqi towns and cities to al-Qaeda and the oil fields of the south to Iran.

You are basically giving steroids to our two biggest enemies in the Middle East.

Threaten the Iranians that we'll bomb Tehran if they dare to capture the oil fields in the South.

Let the Iraqi Army get their hands dirty and eliminate Al-Qaeda in western Iraq. It'll take time but they are ruthless enough to get the job done. Especially if we get out of the way.

It takes an Arab approach to solve the problems in Iraq right now.
