Translation:
Al Sadr’s thugs took a drubbing and they need time to regroup.
That’s what I think, too; it’s the famous Islamic tactic of declaring a “truce” to give themselves time to gear up again.
Furthermore, it’s my understanding that Mookie is not even in Iraq at the moment, and has not been personally involved in any of the fighting. He’s still holed up in Iran, so he’s unscathed in any case.
After hearing all the good news lately about the number of terrorist casualties, I wondered if that really played into it.
I still don’t trust them.
Their butts got handed to them on a silver plated copy of the koran, so now is the time to hide and wait.
What we should be doing is rounding up the clerics and closing the religious schools, which are really training facilities for terror.
The worldwide press would scream, but the Iraqi civilians would cheer. You wouldn't see it on the news, but they would cheer.
