Send Condie Rice. She’ll fix it.

Have you seen much action around where you are, Allegra?

Picture Chicago when they finally took on Capone. Thats whats happening in Basra. The area was calm before only because the local government is in league with the militias. The escalation in violence is not because things are falling apart, its because the central government is FINALLY taking a stand against the bad guys.

G*****n Sadr.

We should have taken that guy out a few years ago, and made it look like a rival.

***A Reuters witness said Mehdi Army gunmen had seized control of the southern city of Nassiriya. Mehdi Army fighters have also held territory or fought with authorities in Kut, Hilla, Amara, Kerbala, Diwaniya and other towns throughout the Shi'ite south over the past several days.***

I smell enemy propaganda BS.

re: U.S. forces were drawn deeper into Iraq's four day-old crackdown on Shi'ite militants

My dad (R.I.P.) used to get quite exasperated with me when he would ask me to do something and would usually end up mumbling under his breath “if you want something done you're better off to do it yourself”. Well, that's how I feel about handling Milk Dud and his boys. We still owe him big time for a lot of America's finest who died the last time he raised his ugly head. If you want it done, and done right, do it yourself! I want the satisfaction of knowing it was American bombs and firepower that finally put an end to dickering with this SOB.

I believe this is all done to give the Mainstream Media some bad news to report over here.

They’re paying attention to Iraq now.

Surround this militia, only allow woman and children out. Give each combatant an opportunity to surrender....then carpet bomb everything.

Leave nothing standing, no place to hide, no buildings to duck for cover.

Either fight this thing or lets withdrawal our troops. The hell with all this PC crap.

Oh S**t,theyve got us right where they want us,just like mice drawn to the cheeze.

I (heart) the MSM

I am fairly certain that the IA and the US/UK forces are decimating the opposition.The ‘Iraqis’ killed in these outbursts are primarily terrorists,of course that will not make it into the reporting.

I think even Mookie/Iran understands that a drawn out battle now will result in two things 1) his forces being destroyed methodically and 2) Irans involvement will become even more transparent than it already is.
