Mookie must be losing too many of his Jihadis.

Yes he is losing too many terrorists and the Mahdi army is breaking up. No matter how you look at it, this is an overall very positive development, and it is another clear proof that the Surge is working very well and that the security situation in Iraq has dramatically improved.

God bless our brave troops and President Bush.

Mookie is losing guys. And it’s all the wrong guys. Petraeus knows exactly how to go and take the head off of a snake. They are using intel to take down all of Mookie’s senior ringleaders.

The US just nailed another senior Mookie guy. They’ve been systematically dismantling his organization from the top down. At this point, Mookie is engaging in fights with his Shite rivals, the Badr gang who is now having open running gun battles.

He’s being left leadersless to run his mob. It’s probably a the point now that he is vulnerable re: assassination from the other Shite militia who is seeing his organization being demolished and will feel free to take a pot shot at him.
In doing so, they will be letting everyone know they aren’t fearful of retaliation.

Petraeus is our general. And what a great job he is doing leading our soldiers.
