I think Rumsfeld lost this war...they should have taken out Sadr two years ago.
But Mookie is backed by Hezbullah, not the evil AQ. He is one of the "good" murdering b@stards. Even though his people killed MORE US and coalition forces than Sunni AQ.....Just ask any of the cheerleaders. They will commit to killing terrorists and insurgents. They simply refuse to identify exactly who these fabled terrorists and insurgents are. They just say that they are "bad guys". Like Mookie is a good guy. Dare not agree with the dissenters. You will get labeled a terrorist sympathizer.
