We should thank the MSM for their bogus reporting.

Think about it.

Sadr is in Tehran and only knows what is going on from the press. He doesn’t know what is really going on because the US MSM is keeping to its theme of this being a bad thing. So he keeps urging his troops on to their defeat...

At this point, like Hitler after ‘43, it would be a mistake to kill Sadr. His incompetance and gullability is to our advantage in eliminating his forces...

It’s time to blow them to Kingdom Come, and let God sort them out.

I wonder when the day will come that the reporters stop the continuous, constant drumbeat of Shiite, Sunni, Kurd, etc.

I suppose that there was a time that those in the US were characterized in a similar way, but we’re beyond much of that now.

Kill them all then.

Retreat, then bring in the Apache's, F-16's, and M1A's and level Sadr City.

Gosh, am I out of line with my pragmatic attitude?

And it would be nice to have everyone be peaceful, too, wouldn’t it.

Some things, however, are just not possible, or practical.

I think it was wrong of the USA to even try to set up some sort of a divided “religious” government.

Everyone else knew it was wrong, too. But sometimes, "You've got to let them touch the paint."

"It is time to kill al-Sadr."

No...

But, killing al-Sadr and ALL who stand with him is long overdue...

The thug "militia" will not stand down permanently, until they have been fed to the worms..

There have already been too many "cease fires" to save their asses from annihilation and too many "stand downs" to avoid death -- if these Jihadist bastards want war -- we should turn it on and not turn if off until they are ALL "martyrs" with their box of raisins.

That's what they tell us they want - we should accommodate them...

They need to kill that fat kcuf the same way the IDF killed that little Capuchin Monk looking dwarf they bagged a while back.

Why let a “holy man” hide behind the cloth while he’s killing ya?

It is time to kill al-Sadr.

Minor correction: it's time for the IRAQIS to kill al-Sadr. It'd be counterproductive if we did it.

Given that they're chasing his boys down and killing them, I think it's likely that Maliki's team won't be shy about it when they get the chance. Course, ol' Mookie knows that, which is why he's hiding in Iran.

Given the fact that too many of Maliki's boys are cowards, turncoats and possible agents of al-Sadr, I'm not picky on who toasts his rear.

Even if, by some miracle or good fortune, the Iraqis kill al-Sadr, the spin will be that Maliki is an agent of American design and the Americans are ultimately responsible for Mook's death.

al-Sadr must die. Plain and simple. By American hands, Iraqi, Mossad or a meteor strike.

I think you are right. The same way Iraq was the great bug light for the worst of AQ, when the enemy comes to you at the time of your choosing and design , .... it is a good step towards eliminating them.

See MEMRI.org for a description of the 72 virgins; it may drive you to consider converting.

saw quick exchange on tonight's 'news' between US soldier and 'journalist' in Iraq - soldier explains; 'none of us blame the Iraqi soldiers that gave up their arms, they were shia, they come from the same area as the Sadr militia, they had been warned, if they continued to fight, their families would all be killed'.
