How stupid was Bush for leaving this insect alive? I remember after Fallujah, there were 5 threads a day for a week here urging Bush to take him out. God knows we had our chances. Idiotic.

I agree. As a buddy used to put it, “Some guys just need kill’in.” They don’t want peace, they want the power that comes with chaos. Remove them and you have increased the chance for peace.

I am not sure why leaders of our day think being nice in a war is a good thing. The best thing would have been a quick overwhelming victory that left no doubt as to who the winner was. All these guys like Sadar should have been dragged into the street and shot as an example.

We had that pig-faced bastard surrounded at Najaf (Ali Shrine)and reportedly wounded him. But W didn't want to "offend" Islam by laying waste to the Imam Ali Shrine and Cemetery. Even though some of the tombs/catacombs were filled with live Mahdi Army.

I'm the last one to yell,"Send in the Troops." But we could have dropped a "Cheeseburger" or "Daisy Cutter" on the rats. Sistani came back and got a truce.

Sadr lived to fight again...
