This thing to be playing out favorably — among the 3 groups in Iraq:

Kurds — on board from beginning. Check.
Sunnis — Most persistant of early enemies, now on US side after realizing no one else would protect them from Kurds, Shiites, and ultra-nutbag Sunnis. Integrating with the political process. Check.
Shiites — Mostly on board, but with some elements that have’nt or won’t think in terms of Iraq. Those elements are now the biggest threat and are being dealt with.

I am still trying to get the whole thing (2003 - ?) figured out — unprecented success or complete f___ up. Maybe a lot of both.

Sorry about that. I included a ‘cold’ link, because I thought that source(ap.org) had complained about copyright stuff before. I see a link to the story via yahoo has been included. I take it you or another mod added that. Please let me know if we can put cold links to stories. I don't want to cause any problems. Thanks!!!

What the hell is the obsession with bringing Hijazi “kings” to rule over strangers? Wallah, Saddam was more legit than that.

He should have been killed 4 years ago.

“Democracy in tribal societies does not work like it does here, as the Iraqis have shown us.”

It doesn’t work so well here. Look at the idiots we keep electing to run the country.

Looking at Amazon , I think currently it is hardback and paperback...The Golberg book Fascist is avaiable in the Kindle format,...which is a device from Amazon that allows download onto the device for a about a 10$ fee....

Amazon Kindle: meet Amazon's e-book reader

by Ryan Block, posted Sep 11th 2006 at 11:57AM

Oh, come now, like you thought the world's largest book retailer (online) -- which just started peddling digital video under the Unbox brand -- wasn't going to go head to head with Sony's Reader on an e-book device and service? Say hello to the Amazon Kindle, their take on a book reader device that comes equipped with a 6-inch 800 x 600 display (which we can only assume is e-ink), 256MB internal storage, smallish two-thumb keyboard cursor bar, scroll wheel, standard mini USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack, SD slot, and get this: EV-DO data! (Don't believe us? The spec sheet is after the break. Why do you think it was in the FCC?) The user manual also outlines the Kindle Store on Amazon (though doesn't spec out too many details), but we're a little less concerned with how we're getting these supposed e-books right now, and a little more curious about the price and launch. C'mon Amazon, we've got the dirt, now how's about you fill in the details?

They should have taken him out when they had him surrounded in that mosque way back and not worried about the PC crowd

Yep. Very true. Personally, I’d rather have a Christian monarchy like the old days than this corrupt mess we try to pass off as a democracy nowadays.

“al-Sadr’s followers refuse to disband militia in Iraq”

Then they shall die....It’s that simple.

“It is time to kill al-Sadr.”

We should have JDAM’d his worthless hide back in 2003 when he first opened his yap.
