It’s time to stop playing with this porker. If we ever want to end this thing in Iraq, we need to take out Sadr NOW!

He's removing any doubt that he's an unrepentant sinner who, along with his delusional followers, must be destroyed.

Real shame the sissies in Washington balked at taking Fat Boy out years ago when first advised that it might be the smart thing to do.

as U.S. jets struck Shiite extremists near Basra to bolster a faltering Iraqi offensive against gunmen in the city.

-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki acknowledged he may have miscalculated by failing to foresee the strong backlash that his offensive, which began Tuesday, provoked in areas of Baghdad and other cities where Shiite militias wield power.

-Al-Sadr, in an interview aired Saturday by Al-Jazeera television, said his Mahdi Army was capable of “liberating Iraq” and maintained al-Maliki’s government was as “distant” from the people as Saddam Hussein’s.

-Two American soldiers were killed Saturday when their vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb in mostly Shiite east Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

-Without mentioning the Sadrists by name, al-Maliki said he was “surprised to see that party emerge with all the weapons available to it and strike at everything — institutions, people, departments, police stations and the army.”

"The growing turmoil threatens to undermine White House efforts to convince a skeptical Congress and the American public that the Iraqis are making progress toward managing their own security without the presence of U.S. troops."

Just more fallout from the total mismanagement of the war from the outset that is being addressed now, at this late date, after American opinion has been reversed and after a couple of thousand unnecessary US deaths and thousands of catastrophic injuries. In this instance, it is the failure to take this Mullah out when it was both clear that he was a serious problem and it was possible. This failure is only one of many opportunities missed in this mess and the US soldier, their families, the US Taxpayer and long suffering Iraqis are all paying the price for this rank incompetence. JMO!

Jorge needs to answer the question, why is dog breath Sadr still living, but then he cannot control out borders why would anyone think he was serious about Iraq.
