BAGHDAD, June 24 (Reuters) - One of Iraq's most powerful Shi'ite leaders, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, ruled out any dialogue on Friday with insurgents who, he said, had declared all out war on his community and "must be terminated".

Sunni Islamists and their Baathist allies no longer seemed focused on battling U.S. occupation or other political aims but on a sectarian fight to the death with Shi'ites, the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) told Reuters at his fortified headquarters compound in Baghdad.

"The terrorist groups have revealed their purpose, which is creating sectarian strife, and stand in the way of the political process and building the new Iraq," Hakim said, a day after two waves of car bombs killed more than 30 people in mainly Shi'ite neighbourhoods of the capital.

"What is new in these attacks is that they have started targeting the Shi'ites openly and clearly," he said.

"These terrorists must be terminated."

I don't want to sound Machiavellian but this offers the west a unique opportunity.

"These terrorists must be terminated."

We need a few more leaders like this in the Mideast.

Any chance of making this guy the Supreme Commander of the military over there?

It's simply amazing that it has taken this long for other muslims to admit Islamofacists target everyone.

It will take much longer for the "mainstream" muslims to figure out that they are the minority within their own religion. The Wahhabists and radical Shia and Sunni groups have taken over.

The last and most important fact may never be learned by these muslims: that Islam has been a religion of oppression and violence all along - just like the Islamonazis show us every day.

Wanted dead or alive!
Put a bounty on their heads. Turn in a insurgent (preferably dead) and get maybe $100,000. Be cheaper than how we are handling it now. I'd ice my terrorist neighbor for $100,000.

Finally, an exit plan!

"The PC police won't like this."

That's true. Talk about "terminating" your deadly opponent makes them crap in their pants.

[NoClones]

at last: an islamic 'leader' who has the cajones to say the terrorists are whackjobs that need to be put to sleep permanently!

quick, someone get this information to durban, kennedy, boxer, and kerry, IMMEDIATELY!!!

The international leftist press and the UN have been casting these Islamic cults as victims of Israel for decades.

Some Muslims must now see how demented these fascists are.
