That says it all.What does it say? Please expound a bit?
Does it say that President Bush and the United States with the planet's most powerful military weaponry decided to conduct a war using proportionate responses because of centuries old tribal differences among the Iraqis?
Are you forgetting that the main goal was to topple Saddam's Baathist regime and bring democracy to the Iraqi people?
If we leave now, you know a bloodbath will follow.
Libs and the MSM will blame President Bush. Republicans will say I told you so...while covering their heads and faces with shame.

"Launching a new strategy to rescue Iraq from civil war, Washington told the government of Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki, who owes his job to Sadr, it was on “borrowed time” and declared new “no holds barred” military operations."The question has to be asked, why wasn't this done before the 2006 elections?

When Nazrallah took over Lebanon and started a war with Israel and got away with it. Sadr is a quick study. Maliki is impotent.

The American people have to prevent their sons from coming to Iraq or they may return in coffins,
This statement is aimed squarely at Pelosi and the rest of the democrats in this country. The left has recieved its marching orders from its Commander in Chief.

The question has to be asked, why wasn't this done before the 2006 elections? Because we were afraid of losing both houses of congress to the Democrats...?

"A senior ally of radical Iraqi cleric Moqtada Al Sadr warned on Friday that thousands of the planned 21,500 extra US troops en route for the war-torn nation would go home in coffins"
When oh, WHEN will we stop screwing around and push a button on this mutt?

COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BRIEFING WITH DAN SENOR, SENIOR ADVISER, COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY LOCATION: BAGHDAD, IRAQ
DATE: SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 2004
Q Tom Wasser (ph), Knight-Ridder.
MR. SENOR: Welcome back, Tom.
Q Appreciate it. Would you say that the coalition's stance towards Sadr is still kill or capture?
And the second is if he does not honor the warrant and stays out there, it seems that he in the eyes of many Iraqis -- that he's become a more powerful man because of this in a lot of ways. And I wonder whether he does -- if he doesn't turn himself in, whether he's had a net gain from this experience.
MR. SENOR: On your first question, our position towards Muqtada al-Sadr has not changed on any account. All we are seeing now is progress being made in an effort among Iraqis to reach peaceful resolution in that part of the country. We think it's a positive sign. We hope it continues.
But our overall position and our requirement that he has an obligation to meet the requirements in the arrest warrant has not changed, and that he disband and disarm his militia.

The "Sadr movement" like these thugs are a political party or something akin to one. If that is the case, then Big Al Capone was the mayor of Chicago....
Mookie is the head of a gang, he leads a bunch of thugs and gangbangers. To describe him as anything less is both inaccurate and disinformation. The MSM agiprop machine is running wide open.
We need to win thew Info war and quickly.

Is it not really the time to take them all out? This guy has made it pretty clear what these muslims think about being freed from Sadam--they have to be taken out, now.

Sadr's chubby presence on the scene over the last few years has been one of the most striking indictments of Dubya's 'strategy,' up until now anyway.
