Well Al-Sadr should be safe and sound then, as Osama Bin Laden seems to have no trouble with the authorities. "Dead or alive" my ass, President Cumjob.

How can they be worse than a dead man? Osama bin Laden can be translated into another three word phrase. That being "I'ma Dead Arab. The only thing keeping this jewel alive is his publicity dpt. They were paid in advance so they just keep going.

Right in a country that is Shite i would imagine that a Shiite militant group whould be able to gather larger numbers and more support, thus being a lot larger threat then a sunni group. This is why it is important to understand the difference between Sunni and Shiite something that McCain after 5 years still doesnt understand.

Maliki and Sadr...The Katzenjammer Kids with AK-47s and scimitars.

"The only thing keeping this jewel alive is his publicity dpt."

You mean the C.I.A.? The ones that always "verify the authenticity" of those audio tapes?

Iran was not this big of a problem for us when Saddam was Pres. These Insulars in this country have made this country far less safe than it was at 8:30 am on 9/11/01. Now all we have to worry about is Bin Laden, and everybody else too.

Thanks Mr. Bush for protecting us so well.

**** something that McCain after 5 years still doesnt understand.

........this war does not run on understanding......

.......I get the feeling McCain thinks he is in a rerun of "Viet-Nam, The Movie "......and that he will re-write the ending........

Don't worry have hope. When Obama becomes president he will withdraw the US troops from Iraq and these people will no longer have anything to fight about. The great unifier, Barak will speak with them and they will then begin working together to build their country and make it the great state that it was meant to be.

Then Bin Laden will see the error of his ways and give up.

I thought Bin Laden was dead?

At some level, McBush fears Iraq is a VN bullshit war that was a waster of American blood and treasure, but he can't accept that it was another waste so he's prepared to spend blood and lives until that magical day when the Iraqis perform a group hug and break into God Bless America.
The audacity of delusion, I believe they call it.

Add in a layer of senility and you've got the best the GOPpers have for 2008.

So why doesn't he kill him?

If he is such a bother--shoot him! Arrest him and then shoot him--arrest him, charge him, try him and then shoot him!!

Get it over with already!

Memo to al maliki-ya dance with the girl who brung ya to tehe dance. You'd be with Allawi if you hadn't cozied up to al sadr in the first place.

We missed a good opertunity to kill him a long time ago when we had him surrounded in the mosque.

hang a satellite over the pacaf border and turn
the listening burner up and it wont be long
til mr beanie laden shows his coolies

It has always been the great irony of the occupation of Iraq that "our" man in Baghdad is also Tehran's. Maliki heads the Dawa Party, which has long enjoyed close ties to Iran, and relies on support from SIIC, a staunchly pro-Iranian party, and its powerful Badr militia.

Tehran never did like bin laden. Thankfully Bush took the taliban and Saddam out for them.
He was just following a long Republican tradition of assisting the mad ayatollahs whenever they can.

If Bush is determined to find a pretense to attack Iran, it may be in Iraq.

Al Sadr - Shiite
Iran....- Shiite
Al Qaeda- Sunni

Yep, Al Sadr poses a much greater threat. I think we've created another eventual theocracy in Iraq. If we'd left Saddam alone, continued our 'no fly zones', hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Americans wouldn't be dead or wounded, Iran would still be counter balanced by the Iraqis, and we wouldn't have borrowed a trillion dollars to fight it so far.

When you have a president who doesn't read books, you have a president who can't learn from the mistakes of the past. Heck, Bush didn't even know the difference between Sunni and Shiite the day we started 'Shock and Awe'. (Sigh)

Folks,


It seems to me that we are at the shooting fish in a barrel stage: months of segregation has made it easy to find the bastards and send them to Allah.

Also, dividing Shiites into weaker factions is good for the Iraqi govmernment and for us.

So far, so good...
