#1 Enough of this BS. Let's get this over with and kill as many as tatters militia as we can. Sooner or later were going to have to do this!!
The politics have failed. Tatter lies more than a rug he prays on. He is inciting a riot towards our Marines with his rhetoric. It's time for this anus sphincter muscle to die at the hands of one of our Marines in a gruesomely slow death.

#2 Some of the stuff about Karbala and Najaf that the media is pushing is BS, but I am beginning to think there is a red line there somewhere. Since last year I've gotten the impression that most Iraqis have an inner lunatic just waiting to come out of the closet.

#3 Like I said in another post. Tell the clerics (including Sistani) that the city will loses its 'holiness' status in 48 hours unless the militia and Sadr surrender. Tell them that the choice is theirs and solely theirs.

#4 Seems like we are running out of choices. There can be little doubt that the Shiites are going to go nuts if we go into those cities, but what else can we do? We have to shut Al Sadr down and there is not going to be a nice way to get it done. Trying to do it surgically is only going to get a bunch of our guys killed.

#5 The only thing respected in Iraq and Iran is power and the will to use it. Right now we have the power but seem a little weak in the will department. We need to have a Predator put a Hellfire into Sadr, order noncombatants to evacuate the city, and then kill everyone left in the city, holy or not. Only a moron would let this Mahdi army try to slip back into society as a political party. Kill them now so they can't terrorize innocent Iraqis in the night or backshoot our troops.

#6 I guess we'll just have to flatten the entire city, sell its inhabitants into slavery in Sudan, and sow the ground with salt.

You left out the part about, "scorched earth."

Tell the clerics (including Sistani) that the city will loses its 'holiness' status in 48 hours unless the militia and Sadr surrender.

Ding, ding ding ... We have a winner!

Only a moron would let this Mahdi army try to slip back into society as a political party.

Sigh, then I guess we'll just have to kill them all.
