The rally is under way now. We're listening on local radio. (Someone is translating for me; my Arabic isn't that good.)

Apparently, it's getting a bit wild. There is flag burning, there are pictures of Nasrallah, Hezbollah flags...

If I hear anything more interesting, I'll post.

The pudgy cleric needs to go. Can't he emigrate to Qom or something?

I'd rather see him emigrate to Hell.

Question: Would this be a perfect opportunity to eliminate a horde of terrorists?

That's what we thought when we first heard about this a few days ago.

Target-rich environment.

Saddam was the right guy for the job.
What, the Shiites of Iraq would do more than paying $25,000 per suicide bomber the way Saddam did?

We're hearing that it's a peaceful demonstration.

The Iraqis think it's because Americans are posted all over the place around Sadr City.

Thank you for your reports! I meant to thank you on the other thread but I think you were "out sick" when I made my generalized lurker's thanks to a few special posters.

I hope you all remain safe there and that the Mookie Madness Band stays quiet.

Not surprising in the least bit. They always protest very loudly in large numbers which immediately leads to outright denial and distortions of truth and fact which is triggered by a group of non-Muzzies kicking some Muzzie group's 'military' force.

Has anyone ever known a kid when they were younger that was always running his mouth, pcikin' a fight and then always got his a$$ whopped??

Or any number of other similar locations.

Pull Coalition Forces north into Kudistan and south into Kuwait. Then let the Sunni/Shiite love fest begin.

It sounds just like Murtha's Cut-and-Run plan.

Easy pickings for the Sunnis.

The Shiites of Iraq = The Shiites of Iran. We've handed Iraq right over to Iran, you'll eventually realize this...unfornately, it's going to take a projected 1 trillion dollars in tax payer money and who nows how many american lives. Who's creating havoc against Israel as the moment? Hezbollah, a Shiite entity.

Our friends the Saudis gave thousands of dollars to the families of suicide bombers as well...when will we be invading Saudi Arabia?
