Harry Reid: “The war is lost.”

The future looks good, with them as an ally of ours, has to have Iran peeing themselves at that prospect.

Dead morons like Mookie make good martyrs.
Live failed morons like Mookie make great object lessons.

Ah, you tease us! We wish you could go into detail too!

According to the intel official, a number of them followed Sadr into Iran, fleeing the IA when it came to Basra and Amarah.

Yes. I wish I could go into detail, but…yes.

One thing I can share, a lot of the alleged “50,000″ would be young punks who just liked hangin’ and bangin’. ANY show of force at all, and they would drop their weapons and bolt. Particularly in Dhi Qar…

Think of the Spartans at Thermopylae, and cut that in half while removing the courage and the military skill:

good one 8)

I personally loved it every time “mookie” declared he was going to end/suspend/abrogate/whatever one of his cease-fires because I knew it meant he was going to lose a bunch more of his forces…loser

And now they’ve been beaten again, this time by the I.A. giving the Mooks a score of 0-3.

Sadr couldn’t get more than 1500 people to participate in a Sadr City protest over the Maliki actions in the south.

Another “million man march.”

Why wasn’t this fat greasy pig killed four years ago?

I don’t know, but Lady Luck has smiled upon us. Having him fizzle out (i.e. prove himself to be a coward and an Iranian stooge) before the Iraqis’ very eyes has proven much more valuable than killing him ever would have been.

Tell the Democrats we’re running out of people to which we can surrender. Abu Khalaf (a pseudonym) was the top al Qaeda leader in Mosul, al Qaeda’s last reputed stronghold in Iraq, until American soldiers shot him full of holes…….

Muqtada al-Sadr’s father, brothers, and grandfather were genuine heroes who worked against Saddam to benefit the poor Shi’ia. That notion was ratified when the Hussein Ba’ath had them assassinated.

The Mooreonic Convergence publicly held that the Ba’ath “insurgents”, who had been killing and torturing Shi’ia for years, were Heroic Freedom Fighters defending Iraq against invaders. That convinced the Shi’ia that there was nobody on their side, and the blowup over Abu Ghraib, where embarrassing the Sunni Ba’athist torturers was depicted as unspeakably vile and their own lost relatives, friends, and limbs were held as not worth mentioning, confirmed it. For a while there Muqtada al-Sadr was literally the only voice defending poor Shi’ia, and his heritage made that credible. Killing him would have established that Americans == Sunni Ba’ath. Moore and company were happy to make that identification. Our military was not.

Fortunately for us, Mullah Atari is a fool. Arabs don’t like Persians, even when they share a religion, and JAM will now turn into something like an Iraqi SDS — not a good thing, but one with no strong influence.

This one is brilliant. How can such a master tactician possibly lose?

Says a lot for the training they’re getting from our guys on the ground. Hats off!

How small? Think of the Spartans at Thermopylae, and cut that in half while removing the courage and the military skill

Heh. Sweet.

The goal of the surge was to create space for Iraq’s political leaders to reach an agreement to end Iraq’s civil war. At great cost, our troops have helped reduce violence in some areas of Iraq, but even those reductions do not get us below the unsustainable levels of violence of mid-2006. Moreover, Iraq’s political leaders have made no progress in resolving the political differences at the heart of their civil war.

•In 2005, he called for a phased withdrawal of our troops;
•In 2006, he called for a timetable to remove our troops, a political solution within Iraq, and aggressive diplomacy with all of Iraq’s neighbors;
•In January 2007, he introduced legislation in the Senate to remove all of our combat troops from Iraq by March 2008.
