Two words: Los Pepes.
It's likely that this was a directed assassination rather than mindless violence--and that means that some group is going to show the Sunnis that their reign of terror posing as an insurgency is not without cost.
They can be targeted too.
Been thinking it is about time for some "wet work". Too bad our bureaucrat-loaded CIA is no longer up tp the task...
The Islamofascist rats are running away and biting the dust.
May they go to hell for their 72 virgin wild boars.
Our side or thier side, doesn't matter. A dead muslim cleric is a victory for everyone.
about time these sunni are getting whacked. can't have an insurgency and not expect to meet 72 virgins. they need to be placated in a swift manner. too long they have been allowed to cause unrest and let the Iraqi people get on with their newly found freedom. wetwork time indeed, all these radical clerics need to meet allah

May the Tigris run red with the blood of Wahhabi imams. (And the Rhine, Nile, Thames, and Seine too, for that matter.) Kill them all without mercy!

It's a good start.
The best thing would be for a lot of sunni leaders to get what's coming to them.
AKA "People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar."
During the hunt for Pablo, while the Colombian authorities were hunting the capstone of the pyramid (Pablo), Los Pepes went around hitting the base (the infrastructure that let Escobar be a multigazillionaire bigshot drug kingpin). Without the supporting infrastructure, Pablo went from being untouchable in a mountain estate to hiding in one s**thole after another.
I thought the same thing. The only problem is that in Columbia, they were well trained former government/military/security types. In Iraq, those are the Ba'athists, i.e. Saddam loyalists in the main. OTOH, training is underway and experience is being had by the freedom wanting Iraqis. The bad guys' time is running out...
These gunmen were not loyalists to Saddam.
My bet would be "off-duty" Iraqi Army (just as some members of Los Pepes were off-duty Colombian cops who worked with folks like AUC founder Carlos Castano).
It's a VERY efficient way to deal with problems like the insurgency and the Sunni Arabs. :)
Not insignificantly, Mark Bowden (author of Killing Pable) claims a link by inference if not by evidence that Delta Force was the organizer of Los Pepes.

How are we going to win this war without the support of moderate Muslims? Your comment is nonsense
Nah, it's not nonsense.
There are no moderates.
None.
If they are percieved as moderate then are probably apostate.
Re#15 Agreed. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
The slaying could further alienate Iraq's Sunni Arab minority ahead of the Jan. 30 election. The association is already calling for a boycott of the vote.Hmm... let's see if I have this straight... one of the pro-terrorist a-holes who calls for a boycott of the vote is gunned down, and that's an alienating act? The Sunnis will turn out in force for the election, because they now know what the future holds if they don't.
