Saddam killed all the wouldbe effective strongmen that might take his place…Iraq has to wait for a new generation to come up and take it’s for the new Iraq…hopefully that nation will be brand new and different from Saddam’s vision.

Beep /Moqtada? Hey bud, howzit going? About that million man thing of yours…I know I promised I’d march with you guys and all, but…uh…something’s come up. See, the old lady’s got me on a short leash this month and…hell, I can’t even get out for a round of golf, you know what I mean? Today, she wants me to go to the mall with her and shop for curtain rods. I swear I hate that place. I’d rather sit on a park bench and feed squirrels than go to that rat palace. But anyway, much as I’d like to help you, I just can’t because-
Beep/Leave your message at the tone (snarl)

Ah crap.

Top 9 Reasons Muqtada Al Sadr Called Off His Protest March In Baghdad…

9. Couldn’t find his white head scarf, and wasn’t about to commit fashion suicide by wearing black after Eid ul-Adha.
8. It was all a big misunderstanding. People thought he called for a “massive demonstration of force, using extre…

Turban’s are like the cheeks of hamsters- good for filling with nuts.

Mookie being the uber-filbert.

Maybe he soon be shelled.

Louis Farakhan was apparently unavailable to help Mookie organize the march.

I just got off the phone to Mosul. My son was laughing at the media coverage about the power of the militias. His second tour he had nothing good to say about the Iraqi army. Now he sings a different tune. They aren’t the 101st but he has a hell of a lot more confidence in them then before. He makes no bones about the fact that our troops are tired, but he said that doesn’t compare to the warwariness of the Iraqi’s themselves.

God bless your son and all the troops.

Make sure you tell your son to ignore the coverage of how America feels also. The idiot protesters at home are a small percentile of true America. Rome wasn’t built in a day and peace isn’t achieved overnight. They are doing an amazing job.

Am I mistaken, or does Sadr have bags under his eyes. He also seems to be about 25lbs lighter. HMMMMMM??? Not sleeping, not eating??? NAAAAAAHHH, the surge is not working….

If I wanted to centrifuge away unmolested, I would want US troops out of theatre as soon as possible.

Only the MSM and the DNC (like there is a difference) will lose more if Sadr goes down.

So you guys and gals in country, or with loved ones in country, is my son just making me feel good or is he calling it as he sees it?
No, your son is a good man and we all love him – and you – for it.

Tell him the next time that all of us think about him and his fellow soldiers every day.
Everything else is…well, everything else.

Ditto Steve’s post——Praying for a safe return home when his tour is up.

Meanwhile the other real threat against the safety of our military and peace in Iraq launches their attack…The US Congress.

The Petraeus Effect…

As General David Petraeus briefs Congress this week on Iraq, it’s clear his surge has achieved remarkable results. The most crucial is that the U.S. can no longer be defeated milit…

Although it’s apparent he’s been to many of them, I wonder if Mookie has the wherewithal to organize a bake sale at this point.

When the news came into CNN today during the 8 a.m.
segment that Sadr had cancelled the million man march, it appeared that CNN host John Roberts was close to breaking down in tears. Poor John.

Najaf isn’t “holy” to me. The AP can never cut the crap. Frankly, I’m thinking of never even going there.
