"What kind of peace could come from you or your agents when you feel pleasure at torturing prisoners?" the 31-year-old cleric, Moktada al-Sadr, said to cheering supporters at his mosque in Kufa. "How are you going to control the world when you can't control...

Killing good, humiliating bad. Isn't that the truth. I guess you don't get the 72 virgins if you're humiliated on the way out.

I hope they kill hundreds more. May God protect them as they root out the murderers in that pit of vipers.

Let me be the first in this thread to "apologize" that more of the $%#$ militia weren't taken out by our forces.

ping.
how many is "scores"?
To: treeclimber
This is actually a good development. Up until now, most of the Lamestream Media reported only our casualties. If only "insurgents" died in a battle, there was no reporting of it. Three cheers (or at least one Bronx cheer) for hearing about the skill and tenacity of our soldiers.

This is great news!
I like the way the soldiers embarass these insurgents. Now they won't be around to complain and expect pity from the rest of the world.
You won't hear from the RATS about this.
