I'm not to make quick, irrational decisions. But in this case I confidently predict:

In the long run the Iraqis will rue the day they let this street thug/slimeball walk. He will be back with a vengeance. He doesn't understand mediation and conciliation, two tenents necessary to having a democratic society.

Let's see: no public statements, just DEBKA-style gossip. Sorry, but I'll wait for confirmation from other sources.

The only good Al Sadr is a dead Al Sadr. Are they stupidly creating anohter Arafat?

Sounds a lot like John Kerry.

That's the spin. Kerry wasn't even at the Senate Intelligence meeting. Still, those Liberals will find some way to blame this on President Bush.

Someone in the press always claims that any effort to fight terrorists only gives them more power. This is one of their stock arguments as to why we should be rolling over and putting burkas on our women.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A militant group said it has kidnapped a missing Western journalist and would kill him if U.S. forces did not leave the holy city of Najaf within 48 hours, Al-Jazeera reported Thursday. (AP)

"It is time someone put all this "religion of peace" crap to bed. The entire Muslim world is no more than a conglomeration of uneducated, brainwashed -- unwashed, if you will -- ignoramuses led by despots and dictators who would and do sacrifice the masses to the forces of poverty and ignorance. Their leaders care only about keeping the camel jockeys stirred up about imaginary "Crusaders" in order that they don't figure out their true enemies are the leaders, themselves. Fate has played a nasty trick on the rest of us by settling this bunch of idiots on top of pools of oil; the only real asset they have, and it is a shame we have to put up with them in order to keep our economy going."

Other than that they're nice folks.

He wins. This was his plan all along. Make a fuss.... and then, after you've gotten tons of press, enter the political process. Sounds like a Scarry Kerry knockoff. He was close, but without those three purple hearts... he's merely a cheap imitation of the even cheaper original.. Was he durn close with the fourish months of service or what...

"It is time someone put all this "religion of peace" crap to bed"

This needs to be said loud and often until the mass media and the cool-aid drinking democrats get it. I think nearly all of these imams they worship have blood on their hands. Blood here and there. "Last drop of blood"..."the blood of the martyrs"...blood blood blood. Sheesh. They are a barbaric satanic death cult and nothing more.
