The militia of Moqtada Sadr had in particular faced the American soldiers in 2004 with Najaf and Sadr city.

They ain't seen nothin' yet.

Get 'em, Good Guys!!

There is a real frickin' irony to us being in one country protecting the largely Shiite population while all countries with large Shiite populations (i.e. Iraq, Iran and Syria) show support for people firing missiles into cities trying to hit civilian targets.

Not that it changes our mission, but its got to be irritating to the troops on some level.

Time to show the Iraqis who keeps the peace. Pull Coalition Forces north into Kudistan and south into Kuwait. Then let the Sunni/Shiite love fest begin. Neither side has the self-control to resist an opportunity that would allow the settling of grievances going back a thousand years (it's a succession war - Mohammed died without a succession plan).

If Iran or Syria attempt to intervene...that's what American air power is for.

And please, let's not have anyone acting surprised that the Israeli/Hisbollah fights are really part of this. How blind can you be?

Drawing Syria and Iran openly into the fray only makes plain what is already occurring surreptitiosly. This is a clash of civilizations.

The Islamics want to drag us back into their 7th century culture because the other outcome - that they join the 21st century global economy - is not possible. Aside from oil, what can they offer? We won't be importing Saudi made cars or Iranian made microwave ovens anytime soon.

Their brigand culture spawned a violent religion and stifled their cultural growth. It requires that we stomp them the same way we stomped the German Nazis and Japanese Imperialists, crushing their ablility to make war, and forcing them to remake their culture from the ashes of defeat.

If anyone has a better suggestion. I await your reply.

I only hope there's another bridge stampede.

Ooh, I'm going to heck for that one.

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

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??
