Nibras Kazimi is a good man, but he is too much a hard core Shia. If he had his way I don't think there would be very many Sunnis left in Iraq, which is why I take many things he says with a grain of salt.

If you want to know what the SCIRI and Sadrists are saying in Iraq Nibras Kazimi is a good for finding where they are.

Of course the violence has gone down 80%. They temporarily put down their weapons and dissolved into the population. Just like Saddam's army did back in 2003.

Ok. Yeah. So your analogy says, then, that when the little guys melt into the background, that their leaders then end up being executed 3 yrs later?

Great! Then the "surge" will give us some new youtube videos of insurgent hangings in 2010. Looking forward to it.

not to be the bearer of bad news, but the bad guys in this case, IMHO, are simply layin low until the heat is off, when it'll kick back up in a bad way..NOW is the time to get information from this guy, by whatever means necessary, to bust up the organization..while they're snoozin..so to speak..

"and even Brian Williams of NBC said the violence was down and the Surge was working....when a liberal MSM type admits it, you know it is true...."

Was he able to hold back his tears or was he an emotional wreck?

This is a good thing. It would be better if they killed them but it's good.

The guy in the picture is not the guy who was captured, though, is he? The guy who was captured must be one of his underlings.

I used to have a cat that loved to catch a mouse then let it go and catch it again. And again and again. She would entertain herself for an hour just catching the mouse and letting it go. Think maybe that's what we're seeing here?

This guy has been caught and let go before?

Anyway, I used to have a Golden Retriever that wasn't very smart. Your post reminds me of him.
