You got that right! The late Shah of Iran refused to allow some dedicated officers to “remove” Khomeini while he was in France and look what happened. None of it would have. A lot fewer of my friends would have died.

Many fewer of my friends would have died, too... both Americans and Iraqis.

But you know Mookie isn’t really going to start getting nervous until over 20,000 of his thugs have been killed.

Mookie, Mookie Lend Me Your Comb.

I think this has song parody possibilities. The original was a big hit in 1959 and needs to be updated for Mookie. Take a look at this VIDEO.

NAJAF, Iraq, March 30, 2008 (AFP) - Representatives of Moqtada al-Sadr and the Iraqi authorities have begun talks to end fighting between security forces and the radical Shiite cleric's militiamen, an aide to Sadr told AFP Sunday."

Please pray...

4 Mahdi freaks were firing from somewhere in Sadr City, east Baghdad ... a Hellfire missile took ‘em all out

How much did that Hellfire missile cost?

Less than an American soldier's life. Sounds like a bargain.

Well, JDAMs cost about 18K -vs- about 58K for a Hellfire. One American Soldier is easily worth multiple Hellfires, but 4 goofballs with AKs probably aren’t.

Four "goofballs" launching rockets at us who will no longer be able to do so most certainly ARE.

We're all getting a little tired of being attacked over and over again all day long.

If it takes a Hellfire to reduce some of that, then so be it.

Only an idiot would take an AK-47 to a tank fight.

Who needs body armour? Why, they have Allah to protect them, and Mooky, and OBL. They are the mighty fighters for Islam! Not even death can defeat them!

So when you’re unbeatable, and your enemies are infidel cowards, keep on coming....Please? (There might be something “SPOOKY” in the air.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpyFMEKQyrk

"Two more weeks and the Mahdi terrorists will be utterly defeated all over Iraq."

Not really. It's more of a social and cultural movement of Iraqi Shiites rather than a military organization. When they stand down they'll just go back to their daily lives and wait for the next opportunity. The key to defeating the Mahdi is isolating them from Iran then arresting its leaders and bringing them to trial.
