Iraq Council discusses deal to end Shi'ite violence (by Not Prosecuting Al-Sadr!)

reuters ^ | 4/7/04 | Reuters

Very bad idea...

[mewzilla]

Not a good way to start off your nation. Bribing an alleged murderer with a Get Out Of Jail Free card...

[cripplecreek]

I suggest making the deal, then stage a fatal attack on him to look like an al qeada operation.

Once the US Democratic Party Presidential Candidate labeled al-Sadr “a legitimate voice in Iraq” you could’t very well expect the Governing Council to disagree.

Capitulation? No f-ing way.
Why are our boys fighting and dieing?

This punk is responsible for my nephew getting seriously injured yesterday in Iraq.
We better kill the bastard or I will take it way too personally.
Kiss heis ass? You gotta be kidding.

If they do this, they'll totally invalidate that "arrest warrant" they issued the other day, and will make a (further) mockery of the judicial system.

It's not unlike training a puppy: the minute you say "sit," you have to enforce it, even if you don't really care if the puppy sits, because once he believes that you lack the will to enforce your commands, it's all over.

Prayers for his recovery.

Why do we take so long and let things like this happen?

[sarasota]

Let the "discussion" end with the capture/kill of Sadr. End of story.

[laconic]

Achmed Chalabi and his bunch are not worthy of deciding on amnesty for the murderer of American troops. Their decision should be given the deference it merits: NONE.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Let the "discussion" end with the capture/kill of Sadr.

You mean he's still alive?

[Silver Bird Worker]

This is like a skit out of Monthy Python and the killer rabbit... RUN AWAY/RUN AWAY...........

[GraniteStateConservative]

Oh, it's just starting. They'll do things like this all the time.

[threat matrix]

No deal. Kill them all!

[Filibuster_60]

You don't understand the real problem here. . . the fact that whatever they think of Sadr, most Iraqis - excluding Kurds - view the Governing Council as a bunch of US puppets.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Don't blame it on Kerry. You hand car keys over to a toddler, don't be surprised or angry when the car ends up in a ditch-- or worse.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Hey, it gets better. You know how the government executes and enforces its laws via the backing of the military? We're that military. They'll decree stupid things and our military will make sure it is carried out.
