I would consider this only a start.
A small start.
Sadr City should be leveled.
It is time to raid supply depots on the Iranian side of the border. If they are going to bring their weapons into Iraq, it is only fair that we drop off some of our weapons in Iran.
It’s past time, let’s get her done.
fyi
Probably conspirators.
What is the deal with Borders with this US Government?
We have 3 daxx Carriers poking around the edges and plenty of air power to practically make the Iraq borders a no-man land....wth is going on here?
Excellent.

Beats me,and they’ve been there some time now.
Iran needs to be hit hard, very hard.
“Can you hear me now ?”
Its past time, lets get her done.
I’ve thought that for a year now at least. We need to send a clear message that this will not be tolerated. Our young men and women deserve that from us.
And if that raid escalates into all out war. So be it.
The Surge is Working and the CowardcRats are Exposed
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
We can fight them now, or we can fight them later when they have nukes.
If they are going to give us provocation, I say we fight them now.
They are all civilians. We are not fighting a regular army with uniforms and such. The terrorists are civilians.
a very good point that I try to make frequently.. A TERRORISTS is NOT always a soldier acting on behalf of a soverign nation.. although certainly then CAN be.. most are just plain INTERNATIONAL terrorists who want to take control of (or rather breed chaos in) Baghdad... God HELP us if we let them...
It may be a given that we won’t occupy Iran. It may be a big stretch to say we’ll go to all-out war with Iran. However, there are things we can do. There should be tit for tat escalations against them. If we identify a bomb-making factory and it happens to be in Iran, its destruction is simply a consequence of waging war against the U.S. Iranian infiltrators should be turned over to (Sunni) police for interrogation. Their bodies can be returned to Iran if the mad mullahs insist.
I agree. The MSM will start the “Cambodia” crap. But we were right to go in there too.
US raid kills 30 Iraq 'militants'
********************************EXCERPTS********************
In a statement, the US military said US and Iraqi forces had carried out an overnight raid on a group of buildings in Sadr City where Shia militants were based.
US commanders said they believed the cell was smuggling weapons and explosive charges that have been used against US patrols from Iran, as well as sending militants to Iran for training.
One of the main targets of the raid was a man who acted as a liaison between Iraqi militants and the elite Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the military said.
It said the troops came under sporadic gunfire as they approached the buildings, killed two armed men they believed to be lookouts, then detained 12 suspected members of the Special Groups Cell.
"During the course of the operation, the assault force and the overhead aerial support observed a vehicle and large group of armed men on foot attempting an assault on the ground forces," according to the statement.
It said air support was called and US aircraft killed an estimated 30 militants.
The military statement was issued after the Associated Press quoted Iraqi police as saying nine civilians, including two women, had been killed in the US operation in Sadr City.
A military spokesman said there had been women and children in the area during the raid, but denied any had died.
Later, men and young boys were seen weeping over coffins outside a nearby hospital and hundreds of residents marched through Sadr City in protest against the raids.
As Rush would say
“Right on, right on”
As FReepers say “PING”
