Very good news. Now if we can somehow secretly get the fatboy himself that would be even better news.

The bid to clampdown on the city follows similar efforts in Basra and Baghdad's Sadr City and northern Mosul.

Iraqi troops have fanned out en masse in the Tigris River city of some 450-thousand people, 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad.

AP Television pictures showed Iraqi troops manning newly erected checkpoints with tanks and Humvees stationed on bridges in preparation for the operation.

No fighting has been reported, in contrast to the fierce resistance that met the start of a government offensive in late March in Basra.

Islamist “warriors” are allowed to “surrender”, “sue for peace”, “agree to cease fire” or anything necessary to prevent having their asses destroyed when that destruction is imminent....

However - it is all TEMPORARY.

Once the immediate threat is gone — they once again become the cowardly woman and child murderers their faith demands of them..

To end militant Islam's Jihad — will require MASSIVE slaughter —— not compassion.
