He has been a thorn since 2003. We defeated him. He comes back. We defeat him again. He tells his "army" to stand down, we defeat Al-Queda, He comes back to fight.

Is there a reason why he hasn't met his virgins yet?

Time to clean out this nest of Vipers. Let Loose the Hounds of War and Cry Havoc!

This may be the opening act of a major candygram about to be delivered to the Mullahcracy. For Michael Yon's take, go Here. Also, Bill Roggio summarizes the action Here.

The way most all of those clerics travel.

He is probably dressing as a woman.

A big, fat, hairy, slimy, stinking, bearded woman.

[rocksblues]

Muqtada al Sadr, the leader of the Mahdi Army and the Sadrist movement, is calling for an end to the fighting, according to a statement released by Hazem al Aaraji, a close aide to Sadr. He called for "everyone to pursue political solutions and peaceful protests and a stop to the shedding of Iraqi blood."

Typical BS from this POS!

[montag813]

Why we didn't take this guy out with extreme prejudice is to me the main reason we are still there!

Because Bush is a pussy.

[freeangel]

Anytime a muzzie offers a cease fire it must be interpreted as a time to reload. Cease fires are pointless.

[uncbob]

Bush had a chance to take the guy out earlier in the war when al-Sadr had only a handful of thugs. Bush et al. didn’t take the opportunity, and now al-Sadr is a bigger pain in the neck...

Wonder whose advice he took

[BARLF]

Because Bush is a pussy.

Thanks for your imput.

[montag813]

Thanks for your imput.

I thought I would offer my academic appraisal of the situation. You're welcome.

Montag is a good name for a Monday morning quarterback...

That is our problem! Almost half the people in this country worry about what the rest of the world will think of US.

[LottieDah]

Hiding in sewers and holes in the ground is the M.O. of these cowards. They come out at night like evil rodents and set roadside bombs then they scurry back to their warrens. Mighty Muslims know they can’t win in a face to face fight with a U.S. armed forces so they hide.

Probably because some filthy politicians have more to gain by that bastard still being alive than dead.

“I beleive we will see an attack on Iran in the VERY near future”

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Those Iranian bastards have been killing Americans for years. And we don’t do sh#t.
