The traitor left must be having fits at the news. No doubt the Democrats are thinking that they should not have tried playing politics with the issue. Too late.

Murtha’s “star” is sinking fast, the nutroots are screaming “LIES, ALL LIES.” And even idiots like Williams are stuck with yellow and brown flicks on their faces, and they know it.

They are all desperately praying for a military defeat of historic proportions or they need something they can gin up and call a defeat, like ‘68 Tet.

I agree, this is going to well for the media to let it last. I’m waiting for the next “blockbuster” story out of Iraq along the lines of Abu Ghraib or Haditha to get splashed all over the international news and throw things into an uproar. They’ve probably been sitting back and holding a story like that for just such an occasion.

Like Captain Ed says, the only way Maliki can start booting Sadrist ministers is if he’s prepared to lose the support of their 30 MPs, and the only way he’s prepared to do that is if he has 30 MPs from the opposition set to take their place in his coalition.

I wonder how long Mookie keeps their loyalty in the face of his own pruning of the Mahdi Army and his waning influence on the ground.

“He asked the sayyid what he should do about the attacks against him, and [Sistani] told him, ‘You have two options: bear the consequences, on you and Shias in general, or withdraw into a corner’.”…

As Ayatollahs go, Sistani really seems to get it.

These people, and I include some who post here at H/A, are openly rooting for the enemy, and they sicken me.

DOH!

Really……… do you think he has any “balls” to cover this story?

Isn’t pere Sadr named for the suburb?

In English, he would be Mohammed Mohammed Sadeq from Sadr?

Like pol pot and the cambodians solved their issues? Murtha is dumb.

I would have believed this 2 schtick years ago, when they failed to crush Sadr and his Madhi Army.

the “jesus tomb” special on discovery is offending me!

Oh, is that on? I was watching South Park.

*a few minutes later*

Okay. I’m back now. I feel much better! Random mayhem ignites my religious fervor!

“look the surge worked now we can leave !”

Wait werent you idiots against the surge from the start ?

“No we just wanted debate on the issue. We needed to force Bush to take a better stance on Iraq”

Be prepared for the stench or hypocracy from the halls of Congress in the coming days.

THE END IS NIGH! REPENT!!! REPENT!!!

After three weeks, there are a few signs of progress. The number of bodies found daily has decreased to 20 or fewer from 35 to 50.In some areas closely patrolled by American troops, a few of the families that fled the violence are said to be returning.

-Wasteland Man.

The fact that there was minimal resistance to the initial coalition occupation of Sadr City doesn’t really tell us anything definite about any of the long term plans of any factions.

Which is why the surge was not a good idea for the long term, the very concept of ‘surge’ implies ephemerality.

But it’s good to know they know avoiding Americans ensures there longevity.

Al-Sadr knows what he is doing, as does Maliki.

General Petraeus also knows what he is doing.

The facts as we know them know are only bread crumbs compared to what the faction leaders, and army commanders in Iraq know.
