There were many times when we probably could have done as you say, but now his supporters will be decimated by the Iraqi Army, and the survivors will see that once again he’s the General with the virgin sword.

[Mr. Lucky]

The targeted terrorists will have all of eternity to compare it to the real thing.

I know, but it just burns me to think of these evil men getting a pass, at least until they meet their maker.

[naturalized]

Gun’s too new, as are boots, and they look US military.

[veracious]

Blam! Bring it on Sadr so we can settle up soon.

I couldn't agree more. Perhaps in the long run this is a blessing so to speak. Better to hammer the living day lights out of the Mahdi army now then let this crap continue into a long protracted limited insurgency.
I continue to bore us all by saying for the past three years that Sadr City and the other key cities that harbored Sadr forces should have been cordoned off and almost starved until every dwelling and other potential place to store weapons and bombs etc., where literally found and destroyed as required.
And of course to boot, every firearm confiscated, overriding the Iraqi law that allows them to bear arms.
Arabs only listen when a strong arm goes against them. I don't give a damn if their cultural roots are different then the wests. Back in the old wild west, criminal gangs had to be taken out by force. Many where killed. We have be pussy footing around to damn much. People must earn the right to be treated equal under the law. These people have not yet, as a nation, shown their ability to live in peace under the law, so use the law to the country's advantage. Kill all the flaming assholes off as soon as possible, so that those willing to embrace a new peaceful Iraq can then take over.

Bush’s fault. ;’) Thanks Ernest.

The hellfire has a pretty parabolic trajectory, so it sounds right. Although the newer ones have a flatter path.

The old ones were laser riders, the new ones are fire and forget.

Blowing up a building(depending on what you mean by building) is pretty serious stuff. It takes a big weapon to do that. Kill everybody inside takes much less.
