Al-Sadr Loyalists Agree to Hand Over Arms

I'll believe it when they've all been turned in...

#12  OK, first of all, who trusts these mokes?

As I understand it, they're willing to give up their heavy & medium weapons. Sound like something's missing? Light weapons? So how much heavy weaponry do these throwbacks have - A few Medium MG's, medium mortars and of course RPGs are the only things I know of. Basically all they have is light , eg., personal, weapons. So in other words they give up squat. Whatever they do give up will be made good by their co-religionists in Tehran anyway.

#11  The word is - the al Sadr loyalists saw Samarra as a huge defeat and are ready to quit. The problem with the negotiations will be what to do with the foreign fighter "cancer" that has infected some of the cities. They are hell bent on dying for their own cause not for the Iraqis. The war will swing Allawi's way in the next two weeks as the Iraqis begin to clean their own house.

#10  They can hand over their arms, or get handed their heads.

Their choice.

#8  That one is Boris. He put his comments in a table and set the width to 4000. He's been doing that for a few weeks now. He doesn't have anything to say, so he settles for trying to deface the site.

#2  Elder, this also happened recently. It's apparently a deliberate attack on the site by insecure little people (and I use the term in the loosest posible sense) who object to the opinions expressed here and post hate mail and attempt sabotage because they have neither the guts nor the sense of fair play nor the intellect to engage in genuine debate.
