#1 Why we do not EXTERMINATE them is beyond me.

#2 Besoeker, many of us advocated an "early retirement" when this POS popped up on the scene. But a late retirement would be okay too. Probably harder to do now. Yes, damn idiocy, if you ask me.

#3 In a grungy restaurant with plastic tables in central Baghdad, the young Mahdi Army commander was staring earnestly.

It was a dark and stormy night. You always know it's going to be "green-helmet" quality propaganda when they start like this. I think these guys all went to the same school of NPR, BBC writing propaganda. Or maybe it's all written by the same guy. It's all exactly the same boilerplate writing. It's only missing the sound effects of babies crying and women wailing in the background.

#4 Why couldn't Saddam have had this guy whacked before he went down.

#5 "Our constitution, the Koran, dictates killing for those who kill."

...unless, of course, it's us. We're doing God's work.

#6 Grrrrr. Go get em ! I think youz boyz should kill as many Sunni vermin as possible. And, surely this is humiliating above all else for the noble Sunni sect who has ruled so diplomaticaly for all these past years. Surely Sunnis will not lay down to die like dogs in the street. You must regoup and exterminate these uppity Shee-its. Lets have at it !

#7 Mahdi Army's Dark Side

You mean there's a light side?

If the vendors still refuse to stop selling, the Mahdi Army "beats them lightly, in accordance with the Koran"

Oohhh, that's what they mean by "light".

"This is a ready-made verdict -- we don't need any verdict."

"Verdicts? We don't need no steenking verdicts. Well, except maybe for those ready-made ones."

#9 Well, yesterday, Zenster, the WaPo was gushing over Tater.

If there's going to be anything "gushing" over Moqtada Sadr, it had better be red fuming nitric acid.
