Also Iraq The Model Blog is reporting this :
---------------------------
Ahmed Farhan Hassan has been captured. This operative is described as a senior aide to Abu Omar al-Baghdadi the leader of al-Qaedas so-called Islamic State in Iraq. That would make him a reasonably big fish, one from which, it would seem, good intelligence can be extracted.
Local Iraqi TV aired recorded confessions of Ahmed Farhan Hassan. Hassan, who was captured in Abu Ghraib west of Baghdad a few days ago, spoke about his connection to al-Baghdadai, and Im paraphrasing: I have four emirs operating under my command. I receive money directly from Abu Omar and then I distribute it among the members of my units according to the number and size of operations they carry out.
Quoting Iraqi military officials, the TV report added that Hassan admitted to have been responsible for some 300 murders and about 200 kidnapping incidents since he joined al-Qaeda three years ago.

Well here is a time I am solidly for a summary execution at a military firing squad.

I've got mixed feelings on this one..
The way I read the story -- these Sunnis were killing ONLY Shiite followers of Al Sadr...
Can that be such a bad thing?
Are these not the same folks that have been rounding up and killing Sunnis as a act of revenge?
Hell, so long as they're killing ONLY one another --- and both combatants are murderous anti Coalition militia --- let them have at it...

I have no answer to those questions.
I understand what you say about letting all the rats eat themselves up. But I think as we have seen the people of Iraq are more than that and I hope we as a nation can lead them out of it.
I mean as a SuperPower we do have more weight of responsibility on our shoulders, and I for one embrace that. We really need to give this our 110% of good effort and not run away from the conflict or Iraq and their people. And the F*n fagots of this land want to cut that off at the waist.
As the SuperPower invading force we owe that to them.
This is not Viet Nam and yet it also, for once again we have stepped into the land of another Nation for things that are much greater than the people of that land ever had control of.
IOW this conflict, and what we do with Iraq and its people are going to define this Nation of ours in ways we never dreamed. We cannot abandon them I say.
Hey Bush! Hey Cheney! figure out a way us old dogs can serve the USA in Iraq. Sure we can sling a 50 Cal around etc if/when needed, but we would rather bring a lot of hugs and cash instead.

I like your thinking.
It is long term and I believe that ultimately Bush is serving history rather then the short term needs now.
Not an easy or popular thing to do, and quite the opposite of someone like Clinton or what the MSM screams for.
Frustrating at times, not without mistakes, but the long suffering will pay off with a much freer and safer world.

Agreed, and that goes for old ladies, too!
I want to do more than just get goose bumps on my skin when I see our Flag or hear our National anthem... All I can do now is thank servicemen and women when I see them and remind them that they are making the World a better place. I guess "cheerleaders" are important too, but...
I believe in what our President is trying to accomplish. I understand the bigger picture for World safety and I love this Country so very much.

Yes he is as lonely as Nixon was, well not nearly as quite. God Bless him.
We really need to get the marxists/anti American etc out of everywhere that they are now, and clean up all laws to reflect the original intent of of the Constitution and the 1st 10 amendments.

"firing squad"
Nah, I favor sticking several sticks of tnt up their anal orifices on a delayed fuse. Punishment fit the crime. Poetic justice.
To: SirLinksalot
" The military said that group had "killed approximately 900 innocent Iraqi citizens" and wounded 1,950." Time for the Pershing firing squad.

Yes, it can. Our objective in Iraq is to leave a stable country in which all members have access to the rule of law, representation of their interests and concerns, and the right to own property. All people on both sides who carry out vigilante vendettas and vituperative violence stand in the way of that objective.
The Left Wing makes the fundamental mistake of feeling instead of thinking, because feeling is so powerful and gratifying. Don't make the same mistake. Play more chess; think things through, and remember your purpose.

"Our objective in Iraq is to leave a stable country in which all members have access to the rule of law, representation of their interests and concerns, and the right to own property." We would be better advised to achieve that HERE in America, and protect what we do have from the encroachments on OUR Culture, Language and Sovereignty.
To achieve what you suggest is our goal in an Islamic republic that has NEVER known Democracy or provided human rights as a matter of course -- is a fool's errand, without FIRST destroying MOST of what currently exists and defeating whatever remains... We're not playing chess..... MY PURPOSE, is to insure the survival of OUR culture and MY grandchildren... Semper Fi
