So what, 4-5 out of 25 are disgruntled? That's better than we do in the Senate.

Media don't get it. I am just relaxing, for they don't know elbow for a knee.

If the peace-loving, 'good' muslims would rat out the jihadists in their midst, perhaps we wouldn't have to lay sige to the whole city. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

If the High Council is worth its salt, they ought to bring these rebels in line. If they can't do it, they ought to work on their presentation.

[PokeyJoe]

All of these poor innocent peace loving iraqis are starting to piss me off as much as the democrat party.

I am sure the USMC would have had no problem with the city handing over the suspects voluntarily. I bet they would not have minded going into the city and nabbing the evil-doers without help, as long as they were not interfered with.

The citizens of Falujah lit this candle and now they are getting burned.

If a person is more angry at the US than at the lynch mob the US is attempting to apprehend, and those who refuse to turn over the lynch mob, his priorities are out of whack for one who is supposed to be a leader in a civil society, and thus his resignation will not be unwelcome.

This is the same thing the Muslim "allies" pulled in Afghanistan that let Osama get away at Tora Bora. The Pakistanis probably lost Mullah Omar during a truce. I think there was another pause in the Iraq war early on that let terrorists get away. It's about time we buck up these guys and not let them protect their "fellow" Muslims or fire them and get somebody else.

. . . mass punishment . . .

Total B.S. If we can't even find 25 truthful iraqis to sit on that council, it's very bad news for iraq as it's presently constituted. A three-state solution is probably the best way to go, imo. Divide and conquer.

[McGavin999]

Those on the council who do not support us in this are not fit to govern. We should graciously accept their resignation and replace them who has a little better respect for the law.

Iraq is going to be a tough place to govern it is going to require those who are firm, kind, courageous, just and law abiding. Lacking in any one of those traits should disqualify them.

It looks more and more like we're in a sucker's game of three-card monte here, and there's no pea under any of the shells. I'd be curious to see what would happen if we threatened to just pull out completely and let these ingrates start killing each other.

[Let's Roll]

This is exactly why the bad guys are making trouble. I expect the bad guys to start assassinating members of the Iraqi council any time now. They better decide right quick if they want their own country or not. What a bunch of wimps.

[Porterville]

Give the nation to the Turks.

The AP hates America. Can we trust
this article? I'm just asking...

"We have been asked by members of the Iraqi Governing Council to have the opportunity to enter into Fallujah to speak with leaders of Fallujah to address ways in which bloodshed could be minimized," U.S. coalition spokesman Dan Senor said.

I say let them go for it. If they go into Fallujah, they will either return or they won't. Either way they will know that we gave them a chance. IF nothing changes and the (probably foreign) killers are not handed over, then we will know that the sandmaggots should not have been on the council in the first place, as they are complicit in the sandmaggot thirst for senseless killing.
